Nothing like taking a hit in the polls to put soft Tories to work like real conservatives, right?
In the UK, Prime Minister Rishi Sunak had little to celebrate in his premiership’s first year, as the opposition Labour party is leading in the polls by a country mile.
So Sunak started many initiatives to regain his voter base by implementing conservative policies.
Now, The Prime Minister and his Chancellor (Finance Minister) Jeremy Hunt have drawn up plans not only to cut inheritance tax, but to do it sooner, rather than later – at next week’s Autumn Statement.
Telegraph reported:
“Treasury officials have concluded the move would not be inflationary, meaning it passes a critical test that Mr. Hunt has set for tax cuts this autumn. It was confirmed on Wednesday that Mr. Sunak has delivered his promise to halve inflation this year, one of five priorities announced in a speech in January.
Reducing the inheritance tax rate would be welcomed by Tory backbenchers who have been lobbying for cuts to kick-start economic growth, with some threatening not to vote for the Autumn Statement if it raises taxes.”
Inheritance tax is charged on the part of someone’s estate which is above the tax-free threshold, which is currently £325,000.
“The current inheritance tax rate is 40 per cent. Cutting that by 10 percentage points would cost a few billion pounds, which is potentially affordable with the money Mr. Hunt has spare while still hitting his target of debt falling within five years.”
12-month inflation in October was 4.6 per cent, down from 10.7 per cent in January.
“Mr. Sunak insisted he wanted to continue reducing inflation, saying: ‘While it is welcome news that prices are no longer rising as quickly, we know many people are continuing to struggle, which is why we must stay the course to continue to get inflation all the way back down to 2 per cent’.”
Sunak told the House of Commons that he will cut taxes as the economy improves. He absolutely shared the ‘ambition to cut taxes for working people’.
The full scrapping of inheritance tax is, at this point, not to be on the table for the Autumn Statement, but the move is being considered for next spring instead.
“The Labour Party would be likely to criticize slashing inheritance tax, as they have opposed such proposals in the past. Just four per cent of estates paid inheritance tax in 2021, according to HMRC.”
The Guardian reported:
“Hunt is open to the idea of a cut partly because inheritance tax is highly unpopular with Conservative voters and partly because it would cost less than cutting income tax. The Times reported on Friday he was considering reducing the rate from 40% to either 30% or 20%, with a promise to abolish it altogether in the next Tory manifesto.
[…] The chancellor is also reported to be considering extending tax cuts for businesses that allow them to claim back what they spend on new machinery and office equipment in tax allowances. Hunt said in the spring that he would allow ‘full expensing’ for a trial period of three years, but is now said to be prepared to make the scheme permanent.”

On January 6, 2021, four Trump supporters were killed.
The sham January 6 Committee did not even investigate the deaths of these Trump supporters in their politicized investigation. The four Trump supporters were barely mentioned in passing in their final report.
EXCLUSIVE: “CAPITOL POLICE TRIED TO MURDER ME!” January 6th Viral Victim Who Was Pushed Off Second Story Ledge by Police Speaks Out, Announces LAWSUIT!
At least two other Trump supporters were nearly killed by police that day.
Philip Anderson was knocked out, gassed, and smothered by police that day. J6 political prisoner Jake Lang dragged him to safety and saved his life. The Biden DOJ wants to drag Philip Anderson into a DC Court after they nearly killed him.
And Victoria White was brutally smashed in the face dozens of times by Police Officer Jason Bagshaw . She was then beaten with sticks before she was dragged through the dozens of police officers and paraded through the US Capitol in her socks and without her coat.
Victoria White was brutally beaten by DC Metro Lt. Jason Bagshaw in the West tunnel just three minutes before this footage. Is this the parading she was charged with? This cop can’t find a medic? What’s going on here?

They nearly killed her. Watch what these animals did to Victoria!
On Friday night Victoria White tweeted out that her sentencing is Monday in Washington DC. She just found this out and now has to find travel to DC for her court appearance.
Victoria says the DOJ wants to send her to prison for three months.
They didn’t kill her so now they want to jail her.
UPDATE:
My sentencing is Monday in person in DC , I just found out via my attorney the Pre-sentencing people are asking that the judge gives me 90days in Federal Prison

Here again is our earlier reporting on Victoria White…
Victoria White from Rochester, Minnesota attended the Stop the Steal rally in Washington DC on January 6th. She was nearly killed by DC police officers during the rally. Victoria was later arrested and charged with assault on the US Capitol.
Victoria White was brutally beaten near death by the US Capitol Police.
According to attorney Joseph McBride:
She is hit approximately thirty- five times over the course of 4 minutes and 30 seconds, while appearing to be begging for mercy the entire time. She is hit with the baton while facing away. She is hit with the baton while facing forward. She is speared and poked with the baton about the face so as to inflict maximum pain. She collapses more than once and is stood up by the officers only to be maced and beaten again. At some point, White-shirt puts away his baton, not because he is showing mercy because he has a clear avenue to her face. As such, he unloads on the defenseless woman punching her five times in five seconds, directly in the face, with all of his might.
** Her DOJ report is here.
Not once in the DOJ report do they describe the brutal pummeling she received at the hands of the Capitol Police officers.
The fact that they ignored police brutality in their report is absolutely frightening.
It should be clear to any conservative in America today that you cannot trust the Department of Justice.
The fake news mainstream media has also refused to report on this brutal police beating in any of their reporting.
After the police officers beat Victoria with batons for several minutes and smashed her in the face with their fists, they put her in zip-tie handcuffs and paraded her through the US Capitol and into a police vehicle.
Victoria White is lucky to be alive today.
Two other female Trump supporters were not so lucky that day.
In October 2022 The Gateway Pundit spoke with Victoria White on her unbelievable bare-fisted beating by the DC Police on January 6.
In Riveting Interview: J-6 Victim Victoria White Describes Unbelievable Bare-Fisted Beating by DC Police on Jan 6th and the Nightmare that Followed — MUST SEE VIDEO
Now there is a new video of Victoria White after her beating and before she was dragged through the US Capitol without her shoes or coat. Victoria is seen bloodied after being beaten by police; struck more than 40 times with metal batons and fists to the face and head by MPD Officer Jason Bagshaw. Then they paraded her through the US Capitol without her shoes and with blood running down her face.
Here are two screengrabs from this nightmare scenario. The police tried to kill her and make her the third female victim that day.
God bless Victoria White.

Real America’s Voice reporter Ben Bergquam was in San Francisco and parts of Oakland this week to show firsthand just how bad things have become. The trash pile city of San Francisco was made to look good for a communist murdering dictator but Ben showed us the rest of the area and how bad it still is.
Xi Jinping received a rockstar welcome in San Francisco on Wednesday. Communist flags draped the streets of San Francisco as Xi Jinping made his way to the APEC summit.
San Francisco greets Xi Jinping with streets lined with communist flags and a welcome parade.
“They are showing off to a communist dictator trying to make it look like this city is clean, when it is disgusting.” Bergquam said.
“You go right across the bridge, the Bay Bridge over to Oakland we are going to go there in a minute and show you the truth, show you what California really looks like.” “Drug use everywhere, BLM, all of these guys being protected by radical leftist DAs in all of these communities. That’s what the left does, they destroy everything they touch.” Bergquam said.
“They come after you for supporting America. They come after President Trump for putting America first. This is the death of our nation if we don’t stop it.”
Watch:
This was shot today in San Francisco and Oakland. Democrats want you to think they cleaned up San Francisco, but this is what California really looks like! This is what Democrat policies turn your community into. If you’re tired of this and ready to get America back, please… pic.twitter.com/YgYTzQp3CL

Ben went on to say that the left lets terrorists roam the streets and allows the invasion of the southern border. He also explained that once the show is over for the communist dictator, that San Francisco will revert back to being a cesspool.
San Francisco finally fixed the homeless crisis. All it took was a visit from a world dictator.

If they could clean up San Francisco in 2 weeks, that means they have the ability. Why won’t they just do that for the benefit of the citizens? It’s because the left hates America, plain and simple.

Joe Biden has made it very clear that he will not cooperate with congressional Republicans investigating his stolen classified documents.
Robert Hur, the special counsel investigating Joe Biden’s stolen classified documents is not expected to bring criminal charges, according to The Wall Street Journal.
Rather, the special counsel will release a report on his investigation.
“The prosecutor investigating why classified documents ended up at President Biden’s home and former office is preparing a report that is expected to be sharply critical of how he and his longtime aides handled the material, but the probe isn’t likely to result in a criminal case, according to people familiar with the matter.” The Wall Street Journal reported.
At least 5 White House aides, including former White House Counsel Dana Remus were involved in Biden’s classified documents scandal.
The timeline of the classified documents scandal presented by Biden’s attorney is a lie.
House Oversight Chairman James Comer last Monday subpoenaed former White House Counsel Dana Remus for a deposition related to Biden’s stolen classified documents investigation.
“I’m issuing a subpoena to former White House Counsel Dana Remus to appear for a GOP Oversight Committee deposition related to President Biden’s mishandling of classified documents,” Comer said last Monday.
“Joe Biden may have kept sensitive documents related to his family’s foreign business schemes,” Comer added.
The
“We just received a letter from the Special Counsel to the President making it clear the White House intends to continue obstructing our investigation.” the Oversight Committee said on Friday.
“If President Biden has nothing to hide, then he should make his current and former staff available to testify before Congress about his mishandling of classified documents.” the committee said.

Joe Biden STOLE SCIF-designated classified documents and improperly stored them at the Penn Biden Center.
Biden also stored classified documents in his garage next to his Corvette where his son Hunter had access to the sensitive materials.
Nine boxes of documents were taken from Joe Biden’s lawyer’s Boston office and we have no idea what is in those boxes because the National Archives is covering up for Biden.
Joe Biden also withheld information from the Senate Intel Committee.
Not only will Joe Biden escape criminal charges after he stole classified material from a SCIF and likely used the documents to make money with his son Hunter and brother James, he won’t cooperate with congressional oversight.

The iconic Christ the Redeemer statue in Rio de Janeiro was used to feature a special projection celebrating leftist pop star Taylor Swift’s arrival for her “Eras Tour.” This decision, announced by Mayor Eduardo Paes, is being criticized by various groups who see it as a blasphemous act of idolatry.
“We will have Taylor Swift duly honored, her arrival in Rio. Welcome, Taylor Swift. And may you be happy, with the Swifties”, said the mayor of Rio.
The projection, inspired by Swift’s “You Belong With Me” music video, depicts a t-shirt with the words “Welcome to Brasil.” The concept was initially proposed by Brazilian publicist Leonardo Ulths De Carvalho and was brought to fruition through a campaign by Swift’s fan base, known as Swifties.
WATCH:
While Swifties successfully lobbied for the projection in exchange for charitable donations to the Pope’s World Day of the Poor campaign, critics argue that the sanctity of the Christ the Redeemer statue is being compromised.
Critics argue that the projection not only trivializes a sacred symbol but also sets a dangerous precedent for the use of religious sites for secular promotions.
One critic said, “Nobody on the planet should be projected on the statue. None of us are worthy.” Others have accused the event of “mocking God” and promoting “idol worship over Christ worship.”
