- CGT & CGT on carried interest increased. Employers NI up. Stamp duty up from April. IHT increases, VAT on school fee increases. They are taxing the rich.

- No idea on this one, was this a pledge?

- Non-Dom status is being fully abolished

- There's a bill to remove all hereditary peers from HoL

To say I'm fucking furious would be a colossal understatement, and it has not been helped by estate agents and solicitors who have been actively hiding this information for as long as possible. It's a crooked industry that desperately needs regulation and reform.

The first buyers in a chain of 7 properties, initially agreed in September 2024, have inexplicably decided to re-apply for a mortgage on the back of marginally lower rates, delaying the whole exchange by at least 3 weeks and risking delaying completion into April, raising everyone's SDLT by 000's.

Conflating 'Peace Keeping' and 'War mongering' is certainly an interesting tactic.

Why not do both? That way, you're giving readers easy access to the whole article and not just the (Sometimes clickbaity) headline. I'm sure you're a fan of transparency and I know I would be very grateful for the effort of a quick copy and paste. All the best!

Hi Ben, is there any reason you just post a screenshot of the headline, and don't include a link to the whole article?

I'm all for rehabilitation, but violent offenders that lie about the extent of their crime should not be MPs, and if he hadn't lied, there's a good chance he would have lost the election. It's disgraceful behaviour and should rightly be vilified every time he speaks

I can see that we're not going to come to an agreement, and I completely disagree with the whole of your last post, so I'm going to end our interaction here. Have a nice night.

So you're saying Starmer let slip there was an IHT charge coming but DIDN'T also say that land could still be transferred in the usual way? It makes zero sense.
