Maybe we should have a 'Desperate Telegraph headlines' thread... let's see, how many keywords can someone cram into a ridiculous headline?

A comment that could have gone in pretty much every thread in cake stop this week, but this one will do. Bandwagon jumping seems to be the latest trend.The above may be fact, or fiction, I may be serious, I may be jesting.

Bad luck, Red Wall seats. The flagship policy that you were all banking on is just a random collection of words. The reason it won't disadvantage Southern seats is that there is nothing there.rjsterry said:To think, someone has been paid to write this.

The whole levelling up thing is so transparently just a slogan instead of a policy. At least the northern powerhouse slogan sort of had some vague ideas tied to it.0

If I was important enough to feel it necessary to release a personal statement I would proof read it, then I would get various members of staff to proof it and then I would do so again before sending it out.orraloon said:

This is excellent on the generational economics and what problems it may cause (US centric but same applies).0 -
I predict that the "Millennial Civil War" will end when -
"This transfer will constitute the largest redistribution of wealth in human history. Generation X stands to inherit 57 percent of that $68.4 trillion; millennials will collect the bulk of the rest."
They will then switch to more preservative policies. As did the previous generations.The above may be fact, or fiction, I may be serious, I may be jesting.

I gave my counter. You have to remember that these are just opinions on a cycling forum not peer reviewed studies. His is just a press article of his opinions. Quite easy to ignore.The above may be fact, or fiction, I may be serious, I may be jesting.

Ok, i'll offer it up.
The problem with the inheritance, as the article points out, is that only a small proportion will inherit the majority of that. So there will be a whole load left with nothing while a small load have an awful lot.pblakeney said:I predict that the "Millennial Civil War" will end when -

I got bored half way through.
It shouldn't be possible to return to Victorian style of wealth distribution because now everyone gets a vote. No idea if that is relevant to the article.0 -
That's life, parents to wanting to do the best for their kids. Same as throughout their lives, so goes much wider than just inheritance. I'm sure the underlying theme is is somehow Boomer connected though...rick_chasey said:Ok, i'll offer it up.

It's notable that thirty-somethings being gifted a 7-figure property by mum and dad is something of an 'emerging market'. It seems to be more about the parents tax planning than 'wanting the best'.Stevo_666 said:1985 Mercian King of Mercia - work in progress (Hah! Who am I kidding?)

Bizarrely I am sure the author is trying to say that Rick needs to get over his theory that everything gets down to age.

If I'm reading it right, the article says that the coming divide is not between the boomer and millennial generations, but likely to be within the millennials between the have and have not classes (which will also have a racial divide).rick_chasey said:https://nymag.com/intelligencer/2021/07/will-the-great-wealth-transfer-spark-a-millennial-civil-war.html
This is excellent on the generational economics and what problems it may cause (US centric but same applies).
The risk the article posits is that this divide within millennials will result in not enough conflict regarding wealth (rather than culture war diversions), and the divisions in living standards growing wider because enough millennials are invested in the status quo.

Inheritance tax planning is hardly new, although care home fee planning may be a bigger issue for many in future.rjsterry said:
