Tories show ‘desperation’ with stamp duty plans

“There's clearly some discussions going on about how long this government is going to last and when they are going to pull the trigger for an election.”
The Conservatives show “desperation” with plans to raise the threshold on stamp duty to £300,000, says Caroline Wheeler.

    The incredible thing about this current Tory party is just when you can't think they go any lower, they do. The juxtaposition of taking life-essential personal payments away from the mentally ill while giving further tax breaks to those who can afford to purchase multiple properties is frankly mindblowing. Sunak is the epitome of everything bad that one associates with an exceptually wealthy individual who only worships money. A crust of friendly affiability covering a core of black hole darkness.
