</a>.....Many blame Theresa May’s attempt to float a ‘Dementia Tax’[1] in
the 2017 general election for her losing the Tory majority. But Labour
went much further in proposals to make more of us landless. Corbyn’s
shadow chancellor John McDonnell, with adviser Richard Murphy and others
proposed the Lifetime Gifts Tax (LGT) in the pre 2019 general election
‘Land For The Many’ report. George Monbiot, Prof Richard Murphy (Tax
Research UK), Robin Grey (Three Acres and a Cow), Tom Kenny, Laurie
Macfarlane (New Economics Foundation), Anna Powell-Smith (Centre for
Policy Studies), Guy Shrubsole (Who Owns England), Beth Stratford (New
Economics Foundation) and others endorsed this wheeze, despite it raising
the number of Brits slated to lose homes on the death of a parent (unless
they had substantial savings to pay the tax) from 650k, up to 10
million![2]<br><br>
LGT would prevent anyone with a home valued over £450k handing it on to
their children, but the AVERAGE house price in London is £750k, meaning
LVT could precipitate vast 'social cleansing' of around 80% of homeowners
from the capital. And as the housing bubble inflates ever further even
those with tiny homes would be unable to gift them, either in life or
death. The buck stops with this great land grab from the people with
editor-in-chief George Monbiot ‘Land For The Many’ should have been
titled ‘Land From The Many’!<br><br>
Contributor to the Land For The Many report, Professor Richard Murphy,
was contacted for his response to press reports[2] saying the Lifetime
Gifts Tax could bring twenty times more homeowners into inheritance tax
bands which mean they could lose their homes. His response was 'If that's
what you think, I have nothing to say to you', and put the phone
down./////<br><br>
