Boris Johnson is calling for a cut to inheritance tax to allow Baby Boomers to leave the next generation a bit more of their ‘colossal’ wealth.<\/p>\n
The former prime minister, 59, writing exclusively for the Daily Mail, notes how younger generations have had it ‘so much harder’ than those like himself.<\/p>\n
‘We had cushy pensions, we had free university education, we had cheaper mortgages, we were able to buy our homes,’ he tells readers.<\/p>\n
‘Things are so much harder for those who come after us in the UK.’<\/p>\n
Ahead of Chancellor Jeremy Hunt’s Autumn Statement next week, Mr Johnson adds: ‘Isn’t it right, therefore, that of the colossal wealth we have been able to accumulate, we should be able to leave a little bit more behind?<\/p>\n
‘That’s why I’m calling for a cut to inheritance tax.’<\/span><\/p>\n Watch out for Boris Johnson’s column on Mail Online and in Saturday’s Daily Mail.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
