New Ken gaffe sabotages Cameron’s millionaire tax giveaway

Yvette Cooper MP, Labour’s Chief Secretary to the Treasury, has responded to Ken Clarke’s latest comments on Tory inheritance tax policy, saying:

“We knew it was unfair – now we know it’s unfunded.

“Ken Clarke is causing political carnage in the Conservative Party once again by coming clean on the Tory tax giveaway for millionaires. It’s as if he is trying to sabotage the policy.

“The Tories need to come clean: if they can’t fund their policy from non-doms, then what public services will they cut to give £200,000 each to 3,000 millionaires?”
