Whichever way you look at it Inheritance tax is wrong. Anything someone leaves has already been taxed and the state has no right to it. Strange the Royals are excluded. Been looking at Premium bonds and it looks like it's only recently bought that win.
Be aware, council tax revaluation and doing away with single persons 25% discount i am sure will be on her list in the coming budget, also she might go for taxing private pension lump sums thus doing away with the 25% tax free on them.
The OBR will have known about the overspend. Also they should have shown an example by cutting expenses for themselves including heating costs for their 2nd homes.
Who can afford to buy stamps these days…?
Pensioners cannot strike. Warm weather payment is a low hanging fruit
Maybe the government shouldn’t give Bank of England 40billion every year and they would have plenty of money
Our kids have Premium Bonds, and either child wins every single month. £50-£100 every single month. We love it.
