Miliband’s own goal over inheritance tax
SIR - It was quite humorous to see Labour criticise the Tories regarding tax dodging only to find out that Labour leader Ed Miliband had signed a ‘deed of variation’, apparently this little trick allows him to reduce the inheritance tax eventually payable on his estate.
Like most of the front bench Labour MPs, he is a millionaire, and his house is estimated to be worth £1.6 million so should he really need to do this?
Greed used to be reserved for the Tory party but New Labour seem to be challenging them for this most undesirable accolade.
