Badenoch’s inheritance tax gambit makes no economic sense | Heather Stewart
Tory leader Rishi Badenoch proposes cutting inheritance tax, redirecting about £6 billion of public funds to wealthy individuals.

The cut targets estates exceeding £2 million, it would spur, yet critics warn it would strain and deepen wealth gaps.
