This is what Labour did in the early 2000s, in a failed attempt to "lock in" a new underclass loyally obligated to them (so they hoped, and they actually admitted this), and it's what they would/will undoubtedly do again if given half a chance.
Although Labour have historically been the main culprits, Tories are far from blameless, and all have been constrained to some extent by EU policies and the ridiculous human rights treaty.Work in the public sector? Read the IR35 FAQ hereComment

It's not a shock, Labour have always been pro-IHT haven't they? Whether it's nuts is a question of idealism - should money be yours when you die or not - so there are only subjective arguments based on personal viewpoints. I'm anti-IHT myself any imagine most here are also since we're largely quite right-wing.
The IHT allowance is a great idea IF you are pro-IHT as it means you can still pass money on up to quite a large amount.
Note that Tories were trying to put up IHT by another name in the probate sliding scale fees which they have dropped between Budget and GE, but are probably likely to go after.Originally posted by MaryPoppinsI'd still not breastfeed a naziOriginally posted by vetranUrine is quite nourishingComment
