Burnham proposes inheritance tax rise to fund free national care service

Daily Mail · 1 hour ago

Andy Burnham has suggested raising billions through a new inheritance or “death” tax to fund an NHS-style National Care Service, which he says should be free at the point of delivery. The article invites readers to vote on whether people should pay more, noting that the Prime Minister accepts the proposal could make him unpopular.

The Morning Mail poll is open now, with its results due in the following day’s newsletter. The article gives no details on how the tax would work or who would pay it, and reports no poll results.

  • Burnham proposes a tax to help fund a National Care Service.
