Jeremy Corbyn wants to impose lifetime gift limits on children of £125,000

[ForTheLoveOfDoughnuts]

So we pay tax on what we earn. What we buy. And now this.. what's the point of working hard to help out our kids, for this to even be considered. Or AIBU?

God I hate Corbyn - what is the point in working when the govmt are constantly taking in order to fund lazy arses on benefits or individuals claiming £££££ for multiple children abroad. Disgusting!

You know what this thread shows? The anti Corbyn crew aren't all that bright.

@SwimmerGirl40 completely agree!

Zipee bless them, Schroedingers Corbyn is scary, I once lost one of my favorite comfy socks, everyone thinks it was my dog that got it but I reckon it was that sneaky bastard Corbyn with his sock pilfering eyes

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

A girl from my year at school is a professional benefits mother. She has been popping them out since she was 18 to get a free flat and has just had another one age 40 to ensure she can spend another 18 years living on other people’s money. How is this fair? Why should I be forced to pay for this?

Your whole post is vile, but I want to pick up on this...

Firstly, she’s been popping out kids for over two decades and lives in a flat? Sounds awesome, I can see why you’re jealous.

And how is having another baby now going to help her live off other people’s money? I assume she has more than two so there’ll be no tax credits.

Maybe if the government wanted Mothers to work more than 16 hours a week, they’d make sure that they wouldn’t be worse off financially for doing so? Clearly they don’t want that, or they would.

Again, so much bloody ignorance.

Jogonandshutup seems a very apt user name.

Whats the alternative? enforced sterilization? take the kids of her and put them in a underfunded children's home, where they'll become crack heads at 14yo.... or give her nothing and the kids can beg? sort of like a 21st C Oliver Twist... of course these kids will then turn to robbery, violence and take from the haves, inc folk like you.

Perhaps your anger should be addressed to the father/s who have got away with impregnating this woman with zero responsibility for their actions?

@ContinuityError thank you - we can but hope 👍🏼

“The only way Abbott could lose her seat would be if they put her in charge of counting the votes...”

Brilliant. Says it all.

It’s true, irony is wasted on the ...

I'm sure Corbyn's super bright himself - those two Es at A-Level didn't earn themselves, you know.

There is NO way this will get in. May was crushed when she suggested changes to the inheritance tax to pay for social care.

Corbyn is deluded. Must hone owners would vote against this and there are a LOT of home owners in the UK.

@JustAnotherPoster00

The proposed dementia tax had nothing to do with IHT.

Of course, Corbyn might be able to tell the difference between labour policy and think tank recommendations though.

Oh of course, people point out that your hysterical claims about Corbyn are bollocks, so you turn to Abbott instead.

Why is she such a prime target I wonder? It can’t be the numbers gaffes surely, since around the time of the interview mentioning police, the actual chancellor of the exchequer went on the radio and got the cost of high speed railway wrong to the tune of £20bn.

What else could it be, I wonder?

I wonder too.

And Gove got figures wrong same campaign, and Greive and Boris.

It can’t be the numbers gaffes surely that was pretty embarrassing tbh

Can people not read? This is not Labour policy!

The fact that the voting public are so clueless fully explains how we are in our current mess.

that was pretty embarrassing tbh

So you do bring up Hammond’s error any time anyone mentions the tories then? Talk about how precarious a position we are in with him running the economy?

You know what this thread shows? The anti Corbyn crew aren't all that bright.

Oh, well done! such a good point and one that’s absolutely guaranteed to win voters over to Labour;

Do they bring up any of the 5 ministers who did the same actually?

No.

Have you been setting fire to the DHS sofa and inhaling the fumes again, Zipee?

Politely pointing out that people are spreading misinformation and linking to trusted sources for the actual information doesn’t do the trick either, does it?

Threads like this really wind me up - I cannot possibly comprehend how anyone is concerned about the effect Corbyn would have has prime minister when right now we have the most destructive and dangerous government since Thatcher was PM.

I get that you may live in a bubble, I get that the effects of austerity may not have hit you personally, but it could be you any time. Anyone can lose their job, their home, their health, at any time. There are over a million people in this country who are both part of a working family and simultaneously below the poverty line. The NHS is on its knees because that’s how the government wants it.

I’ve seen so many lifelong Tory voters hit hard times, realise just how bad things are under this government for those who are not well off and vow to never vote Tory again. I’m sick of it. You shouldn’t need to be suffering yourself to understand it.

So if seeing the state of the country as it stands isn’t enough for you then I think “not very bright” is accurate.
