Quote from: muddy on September 06, 2026, 07:39:03 AMThey did  I voted for the Lib Dem's when Nick Clegg was leader and he didn't do much else but stop George Osbourne from raising the inheritance tax limit that has been frozen now for nearly 20 years despite the massive rise in property prices .
Then he legged it to the states to make his squillions .
It was the one and only time I voted Lib Dem .

He lost his seat here because the constituency (mooted as one of the wealthiest in England outside London) has lots of academics and students and he voted with the Tories for an increase in tuition fees.  It's been Labour since then.

Ethel went to the shop to get some bread
But ended up going to the pub instead
There she met a man named Andy
Who was well gone after drinking Brandy
Till his missus clipped him sharp round the head.


She told Ethel not get any ideas
As he was always like that when he'd had a few beers

Oddly I think it was probably the LibDems on the coalition who got it raised substantially from a pretty low start level at the time.

It"s to warn the little chap who turns the light on to hide.

Especially important if it's for a midnight snack. Some things can't be unseen.  :shocked:

That's probably pretty much only increasing it to what it should have been now from when it was frozen by the Tories as a stealth tax. Now they say they can be trusted. Yeah riiiight
