Hmm, no is the short answer to that, the word inheritance doesn't appear in the manifesto itself (https://labour.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/Real-Change-Labour-Manifesto-2019.pdf) so wonder if that's been briefed elsewhere.

Edit: this is the best I can find, reversing most recent cuts (when were those?) https://twitter.com/Steven_Swinford/status/1197475285416992768?s=20

The inheritance tax grab i guess is to lower the limits at which it starts.

Yeah, but the pre-manifesto rumour was only £125K per child tax free. But it looks to me like its hitting the top end (if I understood it properly, probably not).

i.e. scrapping the £150K residence nil rate band you get if you leave it to a family member,  it's extra added to the the £325,000 nil rate band allowance

Interestingly the Brexit bit in the Labour manifesto looks like Norway +++, with economic disruption kept to absolute minimum.

This suggests that in the 2nd referendum the big debate would be whether there's much point in being outside the EU but inside its rule book, without a say on those rules?

I've never understood the appeal of the Norway option.  Why not stay in on that basis?

And the fact that Norway thinks it's a good idea doesn't make it so.  They are a very peculiar people.

Rachel Riley has shown herself to be a pretty vile individual in recent months. Trolling a teenage girl and spouting utter lies and smears via Twitter. Living proof that beauty is only skin deep. She's an ugly person underneath.

Even more challenging now, then.

The whole thing's worth watching, Sean Locke's hilarious.

I hope he doesn't turn out to be a far right loon as well.

A pleasant chap rang the door bell and asked if I would like a Labour campaign leaflet today.
The Tories just shoved theirs through the letter box without a by your leave.

It's the little things.

Why don't you knock it off with them negative waves? Why don't you dig how beautiful it is out here? Why don't you say something righteous and hopeful for a change?
Crap!

You mean you'd have switched your vote it was the other way round, or it was just nice to have your confirmation bias comforted?  Wink
