Rupert Lowe’s £155B Blueprint: Scrap the Triple Lock and Abolish Inheritance Tax

The Great Yarmouth MP and Restore Britain leader outlined a £155bn package of tax cuts in a 62-page pamphlet. He wants state pensions to only go up with inflation, while freezing government budgets for three years and stopping net zero spending. His blueprint also includes increasing the tax-free personal allowance to £16,000 and completely wiping out inheritance and stamp duty taxes.
