  2. One of the things that strikes me about the #AngelaRaynor #StampDuty thing is that despite having two separate sets of legal professionals involved, their advice was, “You need more legal professionals involved”.
    Which may be true, but I think at this point you would be getting annoyed at the length of time and costs of getting the transaction done.

  3. "Conservatives would scrap stamp duty, Badenoch announces"

    Credit where it's due, this is actually a pretty good policy. Stamp duty is a terrible tax. It discourages mobility which in turn can discourage people moving to take up better jobs which in turn is a drag on the economy.

  6. “Ferrari purchasing the house would have saved the Reform UK leader an estimated £44,000 in the higher rate of stamp duty to which he would have been liable, given he already owns other properties.”

    Did Fartage give her the money to buy it? Contrary to his assertions, “a BBC investigation has examined Ferrari’s family background, and was unable to find any evidence that they are wealthy.”

  7. Oh, this is going to be fun, when the journos start digging into which politicians own how many houses, who paid for them, and how much stamp duty was paid on each. Especially with knobheads like Fartage.
