Money Talks

At the end of the last Party Conference season, two new points of cross-party consensus had emerged (as if there weren't enough already): that there should ideally be no tax on inherited wealth, and you had to worth a million pounds to be rich anyway; and that non-domicile tax status was basically a Bad Thing.

The tiny number of non-doms have since illustrated just how rich and well-connected they are by having the second point dropped completely, even though it is simple justice, patriotism and common sense. So, any chance of the rest of us having the first point dropped, too? After all, it is simple lunacy.

No, I'm not holding my breath, either.
