But that creates a perverse incentive for elderly people to *upsize* to save IHT. That could double the cost of the policy, and push £100bn+ from savings into housing. A 🧵 on bad tax cuts. 44863366

lazytrader.bsky.social @lazytrader.bsky.social · 02/08/2026Thanks Lewis. I've just read that and I think you & Christina largely agree that better mitigation for the trade offs ( especially for less advantaged social groups) was a major failure of our approach in the UK & elsewhere.
