Thank you the Chancellor for listening to #InfectedBlood victims and exempting their compensation payments from inheritance tax.

This is a welcome step, giving recipients peace of mind that their long-overdue compensation will not be unfairly taxed.

There is colourful text reading "Wishing You A Very Merry Christmas." A second Christmas card design. A white sheep wears a red woolly scarf, hat, and a black and white stripey jumper. It is snowing around the sheep, and he says baa humbug. A rainbow disco ball bauble dangles from some blue ribbon. There are gold stars surrounding it. Blue text reads "Merry Christmas". Green and rainbow Christmas trees are scattered across the page in a circle formation. Hidden between some trees are golden reindeer.
