In 3 minutes, I explain why the Tory plan to abolish inheritance tax is despicable. A vanishingly small number of estates in Bolton pay inheritance tax. The vast majority of us will never have anything to do with this tax. The threshold is rightly set so the very wealthiest pay their fair share. 👇

And let me be clear - I want people to do well. If you work hard, you should be able to build a very comfortable life, spend your money on what you want, and pass your house and savings on to your kids. But this isn’t about most people - it's about the mega rich.

The tax raises £10.8 billion a year. This is money the Tories want to hand back to the wealthiest people in the country. And who would pay? The single mum in Horwich. The pensioner in Blackrod. The small business owner in Westhoughton. The young person in Bolton trying to buy their first home.

As usual, this is socialism for the rich, and cuts for everyone else. They want to make us a country where what you inherit matters more than how hard you work. The Tories have shown exactly who they stand for, and it's not you.
