The Conservatives’ ‘better tomorrow’ only includes rich people | Letters

The Conservatives' promise of a "better tomorrow" is being criticized for mainly benefiting the wealthy. This criticism stems from the party's plan to cut inheritance tax, which is seen as favoring the rich over others. The move is significant for markets as it could lead to increased wealth inequality, potentially affecting consumer spending and economic growth. This, in turn, may impact the overall performance of the FTSE 100 and the UK economy.
