Andy Burnham wants to tax you TWICE. Once for LIVING. Once for DYING.
The Telegraph revealed it. A new tax on your INCOME while you're alive, to fund care and a flat 10% levy on your ESTATE when you die.
Taxed earning it. Taxed leaving it. Coming and going.
The death tax hits the families who pay NOTHING now.
Today you get up to £500,000 TAX FREE before inheritance tax bites. A million for a couple. Only 1 in 25 estates pays a penny. Burnham scraps that. A flat 10% on ALL estates. No threshold.
Watch what it does.
A £300,000 terrace. Today ZERO. Under Burnham, £30,000.
The £500,000 family home. Today ZERO. Under Burnham, £50,000.
A couple's £1,000,000 estate. Today often ZERO. Under Burnham, £100,000.
Families who've NEVER paid a penny, landed with tens of thousands. For leaving their kids the family home.
The truly rich? They pay 40% now, with the accountants and trusts to dodge it. A flat 10% SPARES them the top rate. It's the widow's terrace that gets caught.
The rich don't pay it. The ORDINARY FAMILY does.
Here’s what they're praying you don't work out. It punishes you for SAVING. Have more than £23,250 and you pay for ALL your own care until you're drained to the bone. Have nothing, and it's free. Now add the death tax, and the one who worked and saved pays TWICE, care in life, estate in death. The one who saved nothing pays NEITHER. Same care. Opposite bill. This isn't a tax on wealth. It's a tax on THRIFT.
Now where does the money GO? Britain's care homes are largely for-profit, many owned OVERSEAS, some by HEDGE FUNDS. You'd be taxing a dead pensioner's home to pad a fund in another country.
The price tag? Nobody knows. Scotland's National Care Service costs were slammed as massively understated. A blank cheque. And 10% is only ever the STARTING rate. It climbs as the bill climbs.
Which is the real question. WHY is there a hole at all? You paid NATIONAL INSURANCE your whole life for this. In 2021 they added ANOTHER care levy, then scrapped it within a year. The money vanished. So now they want a THIRD bite. Off your wages AND off your grave.
It’s not new. The same DEATH TAX
Burnham tried in 2009, so toxic it helped SINK Labour. Theresa May's DEMENTIA TAX of 2017 that destroyed HER. Twice it's blown up. Here it comes a third time, same man, and asked to rule it out, he wouldn't.
They didn't lose the money for your care. They spent it. Now they're back at the graveside, palm out, asking your grieving kids to cover it.
Taxed when you earn it. Taxed when you need care. Taxed when you die and dare to leave something behind.
Blink, and the only thing they haven't taxed is the coffin. Give them time.
What, exactly, was National Insurance ever FOR?
Because a government that can't fund care from a lifetime of it, but can build a machine to tax your corpse, hasn't run out of money.
It's run out of shame.
Nadia Sawalha is sticking up for Zack Polanski who she describes as a “gentle soul”. She asks why can’t someone make a mistake, apologise and move on. Except he hasn’t apologised. That’s why we’re still talking about it.
🚨🇬🇧 UK government BANS release of foreigners crime data.
Violence, sexual offences, drugs, arson, weapons, theft - they don't want you to know the truth.
What are they hiding?
THE RNLI SOLD ITS SOUL!!
I stopped donating years ago and I won’t give them another penny.
The RNLI was created to save lives at sea in genuine emergencies.
It has become a taxi service for illegal small boat crossings.
They routinely take migrants on board after the French hand them over just inside British waters.
In most cases no one is in real danger. The boats are not sinking. People are not drowning. They are simply being collected and delivered into Britain.
A once-respected British charity now plays a central role in facilitating illegal entry.
They will eventually launch a glossy PR campaign hoping the public has forgotten.
Brits don’t forget.
The trust is gone.
The reputation is permanently blighted.
Charity should never be used as a border-crossing service.
Until the RNLI returns to its original purpose, it deserves nothing from the British public.
£740,000 of public money that helps fund a ‘queer milk’ group.
A man putting a baby to his nipple and pretending to breastfeed is a known s*xual fetish.
Therefore adult male placing a baby’s mouth on his nipple is not something that should be treated as unremarkable - simply because the adult identifies as a woman.

Invader approaches a 13yr old child and tells her "£100 for half an hour" on Lodge Lane in Liverpool.
And still they pour into our country as Starmer is replaced by another puppet that does nothing.
We need a revolution.
The Police have effectively just declared posting a man wearing a T-shirt calling for the leader of a major political party to be beheaded is perfectly fine.
Just 3 weeks after his colleague was savagely murdered with a hammer.
Understand what time it is in Britain.
In relation to the male "lactation" story I've lodged three FOI requests with the Scottish Government, NHS Lothian and Edinburgh IJB about funding and clinical guidance.
I would also love some input from clinicians/lactation consultants about this practise.
20 days and counting.

🚨NEWS: A significant section of Celtic's fans have issued statements rejecting their fan section known as "The Green Brigade" stating their pro-migrant, Leftist and Palestinian political messaging is no longer welcome at Celtic Park
People like @JohnSwinney and SNP want to be remembered as the good guys who fiercely fought against the “Racists” and defended “Refugees” because it suits their Politically Correctness.
They’re trying to turn the narrative to Brainwash docile people that have no common sense to believe people on the right are Racist. All for wanting our country to be for the people it belongs to.
We should not be a sanctuary for the 3rd world when we are skint as a country, financially and morally.
Native people are fighting back and this does not mean someone is Racist.
The Scottish Government is Promoting Pedophilia.
These men are having babies sucking on their nipples.
If you support this then you’re condoning Child Abuse.
I’ve got a question that keeps going round in my head.
How does a man who has already had his asylum claims refused still end up walking around a British school carrying a hammer, a hatchet, a seven-inch knife and a can of petrol? Armed like he’s going to war.
Thankfully it was the summer holidays and no kids were there. He got two years. But that doesn’t answer the real issue.
We keep being told the system is under control.
Yet people we know almost nothing about are free to turn up at schools armed like that.
Is this just one bad case… or is it what happens when we lose control of who is in the country?
Reaction to the Green Brigade’s action in Glasgow keeps circulating on social media.
This has been uploaded by a Celtic fan group with a clear message to far-left and islamist collaborators.
They have been disavowed by the club’s supporters.
No tolerance from real Scots 🏴

Ricky Jones - we need to cut all their throats and get rid of them.
NOT guilty.
Polanski - making plans for Nigel (guillotine). NOTHING
Lucy Connolly - burn them for all I care. 2 years in prison.
It's not what you say, it's who you say it about
Mr Both Douk Deng (pictured, right) broke into Britain illegally & was given housing.
He was caught trying to break into a primary school, armed with a hammer, a hatchet, a knife, and a can of petrol.
He doesn’t speak English & left a wife & child in Sudan.
We must be mad.
