pledged that would abolish inheritance tax altogether.
The Reform leader was speaking as he attended a protest in central London against Labour’s raid on farmers.
The Clacton MP told GB News: “Inheritance tax is double taxation. People have paid tax on this already, why on Earth when they die should they be taxed again?
“We would get rid of inheritance tax. It’s a really nasty tax and it hits people at the most unpleasant part of their lives.
“They’ve just lost their parents and suddenly the taxman is after them. So we would get rid of inheritance tax.”
