Dear John, 

Owning a house gives people a stake in society. And it helps them build roots in a community.

But Britain's housing market makes the dream of home ownership impossible for many.

There are many culprits for this. And Stamp Duty is one of them.

Stamp Duty punishes people for moving. It prevents many young people from buying their first property.

It stops young couples from upsizing to start a family, or moving house to change career.

And it penalises pensioners from downsizing, meaning fewer homes on the market.

Abolishing Stamp Duty will let everyone move to a house in the right place, with enough space.

So if you agree with our plan to do this then please sign our petition here.

If people can move without having to worry about the taxman then everyone benefits.

More people moving means the local hardware store gets more customers.

More people moving means that painters and renovators get more work.

It means families can settle where they want to live, not where they’re stuck.

If Keir Starmer and Rachel Reeves are serious about delivering growth in our economy then they should abolish Stamp Duty on main homes, and help fix Britain's broken housing market.

Urge them to do so today by signing our latest petition.

Yours sincerely, 

Sir Mel Stride MP
Shadow Chancellor of the Exchequer
