Tory Priority is a tax cut for millionaires

Elliot has condemned David Cameron's policy on inheritance tax, a policy that is an insult to 96 per cent of families in the country at a time when the Tories have also called for cuts in police, sure start, housing and apprenticeships. This shows where the Tories’ true loyalties really lie.

"David Cameron says he wants to help ordinary families but his priority during the downturn is to give on average a £200,000 tax cut to 3,000 millionaires. It’s a policy that does nothing for 96 per cent of families in this country.

Cameron has confirmed that his party will be campaigning in the next election on a manifesto which so far has only one definite pledge – an inheritance tax cut for millionaires.

If the Conservatives meant what they said then they'd drop their tax cuts for the wealthiest estates and support the £145 tax cut that Labour are giving to basic rate taxpayers. Instead at this tough time they propose an inheritance tax cut for millionaires that will do nothing to help the majority of people in Scunthorpe
