Another U turn

[Murdochcat]

So the IHT threshold allowances for family farms has been increased.

Do these clowns in the government and treasury not think through their plans and impacts on people before they announce them?

Thing is that it was just virtue signaling as it would not have delivered much money.

Ha ha ha. They said they wouldn’t change it, like they did with the WFP

The rest is history

 

[Mottie]

They must be well dizzy by now with all those U turns.

Thing is that family owned and run farms will have passed it down the generations to avoid IHT and large concerns like those owned by limited companies would have been able to avoid it

The thing is, even though they've U turned, they'll already have lost those people's votes come 2029, if they even had them in the first place. So it's been a bit of a lose lose for Labour.

More like the usual pathetic politics of envy with a bit of wealth redistribution thrown in for good measure.

Not having a competent government that gets it right first time.
