Inheritance tax has been serving the nation since 1694, and needs to do so for a lot longer https://www.taxresearch.org.uk/Blog/2023/09/24/inheritance-tax-has-been-serving-the-nation-since-1694-and-needs-to-do-so-for-a-lot-longer/. Sunak wants to be rid of inheritance tax at the same time as he wants to deny pensioners their triple-locked pay rise. That says all you need to know about a man who would rather help the children of 40,000 very rich people than 12.5 million OAPs.
