Zoe Williams suggests we're coming at the #inheritancetax 'debate' from the wrong direction:
'...we should go in studs first: suggest setting inheritance tax at 100%. No windfalls for anyone, ever; total generational redistribution delivered by death, the merry reaper.

At least the debate will be different, and more interesting'
