Tories Want Your House

[SueEllen]

You are aware the Tories have raised the inheritance tax threshold? Well bad news if you get dementia your family will only inherit the first 100K as the rest will have to go on your dementia care.

More to follow listening to Mrs May ranting.

Which is about £100K more that Mr. Corbyn would want you to have.

My father had dementia & had 2 daily visits from LA supplied carers for the last 5 years prior to going into a home 2 years ago.

As his house was worth more than £100k that would have been self funded under the current proposals as I understand it.

I really do think if you've paid in for the whole of your life you should be expect a decent state funded level of care in your old age regardless.

Unfortunately as so many get free care and the councils screw down the costs someone has to subsidise it and its all those people who actually pay tax

The Guardian revealed late last year that 100 more care home businesses have collapsed since 2010 than previously thought. A staggering 380 have been declared insolvent since 2010, according to the Insolvency Service. The number of failures each year has risen sharply since 2010, when 32 businesses failed. In 2015, 74 were declared insolvent, while another 34 failed in the first six months of 2016, the most recent figures available. The squeeze is being particularly felt by so-called “mom and pop” operators, who may run one or two care homes but account for about 55% of the industry.

Care homes are struggling because of a fall in the amount that councils pay towards fees for residents at the same time as costs are rising, driven by the government’s “national living wage”, which meant that workers aged 25 or over must be paid at least £7.20 an hour from April 2016. This led to an increase in payroll costs of about 5% for most businesses last year. This rise would have been problematic anyway, but local authorities are also reducing how much they pay towards social care after seeing their budgets cut by up to 50% as a result of government austerity measures.

Theresa May can strap on a big 12" dildo and ream my arse until my eyeballs pop out, but if Corbyn did it, it would be worse..

FTFY. Retard.

tanks on the lawn

The Tories are definitely parking their tanks on Labour's lawn. That will teach them to cede the 'centre' and move left.

This policy appears pretty 'progressive' as the wealthy will pay more (as will the unlucky of course).
Taxing wealth is a key theme of Piketty and may well reduce the extent to which inequality increases due to inheritance. Massive inequality is in no-one's interest.

There's no right to inherit money and having people pay for their own care seems like a sensible way of dealing with the current problem which will only get worse.
This will also help to reduce inter-generational inequality as the tax-payers of the future won't need to pay the massive costs of free social care for all.

That's what Kinnock, Blair and Brown have been pointing out to Kormade Korbyn and Kormades for the last few years.

They don't understand in a two party system you need to be in the centre. In a multi-party system you can afford to be left or right wing as you will end up being in a coalition with someone who is more in the centre making your government centre-right or centre-left.

Right you are. You're still part of the Brexit UK though. Do you always back the wrong pony?
