IHT raised £7.1 billion in the last tax year, or less than 1% of tax receipts. Income tax raised £268 billion by comparison, or around 25% of tax receipts. Ditching IHT would seem a 'relatively' cheap vote winner

Could you drill the door out carefully and add a couple of watch strap pins, pull out the nails and use the pins instead? Makes the door removable if needed too
