In a bid to get more issues discussed, and not factionalism or elections, I will be running a section called: 'Debate not Gossip'.

Inheritance Tax. Nicknamed the 'death tax', in order to scare the 98-99% of that public who don't pay it, in to considering it their worst nightmare in the US, and by the Tories, to convince Middle England that they all have to pay it, by putting politics before economics. It is a political football.

The Tories' solution, was not prudent. Raising the threshhold to £1,000,000 is not the reform needed. But a reform, I believe is needed. What do you believe is needed? Should we stick with the current rules, and thrsehholds, as is? Should we abolish it, like social democratic Sweden? Should we close the seven-year loophole? I would like to hear any suggestions... 

...to single out Islington in campaign against inheritance tax

Emily Thornberry, Labour MP for Islington South and Finsbury, has dismissed Stephen Byers's claim that his bid to abolish inheritance tax is key to electoral success in her constituency.

There has been a rumour circulating that a Labour MP was recently photographed smoking dope. My suspicions fell on Stephen Byers after I read his piece in yesterday's Telegraph attacking the fairness of Inheritance Tax.
