Among the promises we expect in the 70-ish-page document are:
Cutting National Insurance by another 2p for employees, as part of an ambition to get rid of it entirely
Abolish stamp duty for most first-time buyers by lifting permanently the threshold where the tax on buying a home kicks in to £425,000
A Help to Buy scheme. First-time buyers would be offered a 20% government equity loan, meaning people could buy with just a 5% deposit they have saved up for
Landlords would also get capital gains tax relief if they sold their property to the existing tenants.
But, it doesn’t look like there will be much in the document on inheritance tax | |||

"The NI give away looks good on the surface but how are they clawing the cost of that back? Frozen thresholds (when we have inflation) seems to be the favoured way of both Cons and Labs." Whilst we are looking at glossy things… the stamp duty thing abolishment for 1st buyers under 425k from 300k may sound good…. But the ifs found that actually it does help that many people… the phrase they used is “handful of thousands” | |||

Kinda… 2 reasons…. If you don’t live in the south east… you are not really buying anything up to 300k already.. so the move up is moot The deposit you need to find anyway on a 300-425k house means savings a couple hundred quid isn’t really making a huge difference anyway | |||

It is eye candy but ultimately meaningless. Now if it had not been restricted to first time buyers it could have helped stimulate the housing market! | |||

Anyone with a cash deposit on a £425k house is almost certainly getting it from the bank of mater and pater. | |||

"I can’t help but notice a lot of people who were big supporters of the Tories have gone very quiet of late." Ominous. They’ve circled the wagons and are plotting a strategy. And probably also waiting for Suella’s alternative fascist, ooops Tory, manifesto! | |||

"There 17 billion cuts their promising have been looked at by 'independant' think tanks and they've been criticised as implausible. The whole manifesto has been described as benefitting the wealthy much more than the lower income families, how unexpected haha. And on a separate note, Sunak is telling the population he is a man of the people, despite being described by the presenter as being 'richer than the King'. Poor Rishi is going to let everyone know that he really wanted Sky TV but his parents didn't let him have this, choosing to send him to Wellington College instead. So Sunaks parents could afford the thousands of pounds a term to send him to Wellington College but couldn't afford £20 a month for Sky TV.
