    Means-tested benefits are an extremely expensive way to be cruel solely to save the rich a few pennies on their taxes. Ordinarily-incomed people already pay a far greater proportion of their income in National Insurance, and work longer because the life expectancy of the rich has gone up, and now you want to take it away if they’re not far enough below the poverty level without it?

    You have not thought this through.
