Keir Starmer has been accused of – and neither he nor No 10 have denied – that he used a tax dodge to avoid inheritance tax on his parents’ estate, by giving them land through a ‘trust’ that would ultimately come back to him along with the rest of their estate, without incurring inheritance tax.
I honestly feel like good people are in short supply. Maybe it’s just a truth that since no one is perfect, we must accept ones faults.
Should we judge others by who they were, who they are, or who they will be?
On what metric should we boost our leaders? Those who get stuff done? Those who care a similar sentiment and belief?
Can we move on from past transgressions on the hope that a better future lie ahead?

So he gave them something and the…canary… is sad he didn’t then have to pay inheritance tax on something he gifted when it came back to him?
Shit stirring tbh. He could’ve just kept it the whole time but wanted his parents to feel ownership and independence. This isn’t a tax dodge it’s just how tax rules work.
