Is Jenrick sounding out numbers and figuring out how to challenge the CEO?

Huge respect to the papers for finding both an 88 year old worried about the tax bill on her 6 bedroom Kensington house and a 20 year old fretting about only being able to save £12k a year tax free.
Top work all around. These are not easy case studies to find.

Won't people think of the poor folks who have accidentally woken up in a £2m+ house..... Ah yes those are the ones with good friends at newspapers etc who can whinge for them
A ‘mansion tax’ on homes worth over £2m to raise about £400/450m a year is everything wrong with a ‘smorgasbord’ approach.
Lots of potential political pain for a public finances rounding error. Coupled with a new weird cliffedges.
Either reform property tax to raise proper money or don’t.
