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. 44866366

Steve Miller @stevemiller.bsky.social · 30/09/2026Look - I get that there’s big issues for football re the Man City stuff but nobody is talking about Fantasy Footy. Those of us who refused to pick Man City players suffered in those years, and frankly, I’m looking for all leagues to be recalculated and points scored by Man City players deleted. 011

Steve Miller @stevemiller.bsky.social · 24/09/2026Yr right and I could have worded that better. I don’t have any particular fondness for the aristocracy or the monarchy and I suspect if it was another Earl arguing with the Royals, I’d probably shrug and mumble that I have no time for either of them… 100
