For me the flavour of their politics, the colour of their skin is irrelevant. It seems your basis for who needs and who does not is based on a right wing mind set. Sleep tight and think of the homeless as you do so.
That's a little short of the inheritance tax threshold so I think you might be ok.
Chuck in a London flat though and you get a lot closer.
The European Union is poised to extend Brexit talks into as late as next summer after the European council and commission presidents dismissed Boris Johnson’s strategy as a “blame game”. A “range of dates” will now be in play at the meeting of European leaders next week but sources suggested the natural cut-off date would be June.
The Benn act suggests an extension until the end of January 2020 but there will be some concern in EU capitals that this will not provide sufficient time for any fallout from a general election to play out.

No more extensions, pointless
Apartment please, you're not in Hull now.
Pointless? Surely avoiding a hugely damaging hard brexit - socially, economically and hugely damaging to Ireland.
I'd say a delay is totally vital.

The Conservatives have been persuing brexit on the hardest, most undiplomatic terms possible for the entirety of the process. May's attempts to appease the DUP and ERG made it impossible for anyone else to support. Boris government is a joke, its a government of about 80 MP's who actually support his policies. Finding out just how much support leaving without a deal has via a General Election isn't pointless imo.
Duplexes and town houses, what a load of bollocks.
Full article from earlier today. It’s suspected that the source is Cummings. worth a read

feck me:
Amen.
To what end? Who’s got the appetite for more months of this?
Ultimately unless we remain brexit will last 10+ years so it’s not like it will make a difference.
Wouldn’t surprise me if Brexit was the rest of our lives now.
Oh Brexit will absolutely be the rest of our lives. If we leave the Remainers will never stop and if we remain, the Brexiteers will never stop.
Believe it or not, it is possible to think of the needy while at the same time wanting to provide a future for your own children.
Not everything is like a light switch dude.
Oh I think the Brexiteers will stop. The majority of them are driven by general xenophobia/protest vote .....not for any real quantifiable reasons that leaving the eu will enrich their lives.
And the millions of Brexit voters that don’t fall into those two brackets?
It's a flat, not a bloody condo or duplex!
But you can do that with just a small amount of both the current and labour proposed thresholds. Not to say you can do that before you die should you wish to make such plans but also anything above the threshold is still passed across its just taxed as income which it obviously is.
Look at you and your mansion. Sickening.
We’re there millions that had such a vested interest in leaving the eu prior to the referendum that it was the main topic of the new everyday and we’re talking about ‘civil war’ etc etc? No. The volume has been created by whipping up the little englander/bigot vote
Mansion? It's about 680 square feet!
Fair enough, I just find taxing inheritance a difficult one. I'm coming at it from the view of seeing my in-laws work like crazy, forgo all luxuries and many basics, ,never go on holiday themselves etc, so they could put their two daughters through a UK education to masters level. Her parents were a teacher and a radiographer and they grew up in the poverty that was rife in 1960s Mauritius, so not privileged feckers.
Bastard probably voted leave too “what’s Europe ever done for me?”
“Yes!! Get in!! Euromillions you beautiful bastard!!”
So they had a holiday home? Ffs Jip you should have really thought this through. Joking
They’ll die off
Still, if you sold it you could buy a mansion in your Brexitville hometown.
Rubbish. The proposed labour thresholds sling a net around a whole new crowd. Normal hardworking, everyday people with fairly modest estates. It is a natural instinct to want to pass onto your children that which you have worked hard for your whole life. The Labour proposals go way too far and are an attack on this base instinct. A lot of people wont vote Labour for this reason alone. I am one of them.
Just breaking now: Saturday 19th October is Brexit D-Day.
If a deal is presented, parliament will vote on it. If not "a range of options will be explored".

Literally not a single bit of your post relates to what i actually put. Again as i don't think some understand IHT Labours proposal is as a couple that you can gain 250k tax free (oh no just 250k). Anything above 250k becomes income and you pay 40% tax.
So 500k becomes 400k, that's a fundamental attack on the instinct to want to look after your children to you? You'd be concerned how they'll get by on 400k instead of 500k? Yeah right
Yeah but for good reason. My mum's three bed semi is worth about £150k. Some of the lowest prices in the country. No worries on IHT at least.
And if you're not a couple? If you're a single Dad?
And if my house is worth £350k? Not because I'm rich, but because I live in an area that has massively increased in value? I'll have paid every penny for that house, been taxed on every penny too. Why should my children pay more tax on it on my death?
Yes, I'll be concerned. They're my children. Whatever I leave them £400 or £500k (between them) will hopefully ensure some security for them in a very uncertain future. And that amount certainly wouldn't ensure a life of luxury for them, just some help from their Dad. That is what I want for them.
Edit: And by the way, I'm not against IHT on huge, generational wealth or landed wealth. But I feel the current levels are about correct ... more importantly, fair.
So 500k is some help but 400k leaves them destitute? It's always made a polar opposite by those most against it.
Any of the amounts being talked about are significant. In this scenario you're dead you're not being taxed further your children would be on a windfall income quite rightly. Just because you may pay a lot of tax in your lifetime doesn't mean your children pay less tax, same principle, there is no family tax everyone pays tax on money in and unearned income should be taxed more as it is.
I've not had any kids and never plan to. Can I get a rebate? Tired of paying out for everyone else's snotty nosed brats.
We see you're DUP veto and raise you a Sinn Fein veto, top trolling from the EU

Well that virtually guarantees the backstop (or whatever they agree) will remain indefinitely as there is no way Sinn Fein and DUP will agree on anything. It certainly is a better idea than letting the DUP hold all the power as they seem determined to do everything they can to destroy Northern Ireland with a no-deal Brexit.
My view is that anything that makes the DUP furious is generally the right thing to do.
