Let me cut through the BS platitude in Isabelle Oakshott’s latest vile post and summaries what she’s claiming
“RNLI are bringing illegal immigrants from France to Britain for the Nothing to do with saving lives. The RNLI is aiding and abetting the invasion of our country, they are your enemy”

Kemi Badenoch wants to exempt the family home from inheritance tax.
But that creates a perverse incentive for elderly people to *upsize* to save IHT.
That could double the cost of the policy, and push £100bn+ from savings into housing.
