Is this just nonsense?
In a separate television interview today, David Miliband, the Foreign Secretary, reignited the row over class-war politics by accusing the Conservatives of planning “the biggest redistribution of wealth to the wealthy in two generations”.
He said: "What do they actually stand for? Abolishing inheritance tax, bringing back fox-hunting and isolating ourselves in Europe. That’s not what the country needs. That’s not change. That’s driving with one eye on the rear-view mirror.”
The wealthy won't be redistributing wealth they already own. They will be retaining wealth that is no longer taxed. And abolition of inheritance tax by the Tories is a lie. As Miliband knows. I wish they would but they won't.
So incoherence and an untruth. Nice to know the future of the Labour Party lies in the hands of a politician who upholds its core values.
