@Geri I will never understand why press paint Mogg as an upstanding if slightly eccentric politician. He is an extremist far to the right.
This idea on inheritance tax would cost £7bn. 90% of people would see no benefit at all and half of benefit of this tax cut would go to the 1% of public with estates worth more than £2.1 million or more.

@Geri The desire of the rich and powerful to shield and bequeath their wealth seems to be world wide. On a smaller level, California voters opted in a recent plebiscite to allow parents to bequeath their homes to their children with no step-up in property tax to reflect the current value. (a 1978 initiative called Proposition 13 limited property tax to 1% of the price paid by the current owner. As a result, schools lack money, roads are crumbling and we have a housing crisis.)

@Geri That man has a very punchable face.
