Re: Blair's Last 100 Days (none / 0)
I think it's the capital gains tax and the inheritance tax part that really gets me. We know who he thinks are the swing voters.

What are the rates on capital gains, and the threshold on inheritance?

Be nice to America. Or we'll bring democracy to your country.

Re: Blair's Last 100 Days (none / 1)
From the BBC link in my comment above:
# Tax exemption for capital gains will rise from £8,800 to £9,200, and will be £18,400 for married couples.
# Inheritance tax will threshold to rise from £285,000 now to £350,000 in 2010.
Capital gains tax also has three rate brackets, taxed at 10%, 20% and 40% like income used to be.
