Yeah, very much this, my Uncle passed recently, he’d been living in the family home in South Ruislip so when he died it was left to his brothers and sisters (or their descendants).
The house sold for a cool £½m so was immediately subject to inheritance tax.
So, nobody’s in favour of it and everyone’s against it. And they floated the idea, let it stew in the public eye for a few days, then changed their minds having done some notable damage to themselves in the process.
I stand by my point that they’re looking to lose this one.
