Mrs May's New Plans
I understand that lots of the things that were in the Tory Manifesto will be ditched over the next few days......loss of the triple lock for OAPs, and means testing for the Winter Fuel Payment, as well as bringing back Hunting with Dogs, and an expansion of Grammar Schools.
So how will May explain that to the British Public ?

She wont need to as she wont be around and even if she is she wont be the one deciding these things now it will be the Cabinet. Which should prove interesting.

Atalanta, //With the current value of houses, many hoped-for legacies would be eaten away.//
Many hoped for legacies really are being eaten away now – completely - with no £100,000 minimum left untouched, as would have happened under the new plans. Opposing it means that those whose estate is worth less than £100,000 but more than about £23,000 will continue to lose everything. That doesn't seem terribly smart to me.
Perhaps the result of this election is what comes of telling the electorate honestly what the plans are, rather than ‘doing a Jeremy’ and promising the impossible - an endless source of money and everything for nothing.
