The Coalition appears split over a "mansion tax." George Osborne told ITV's The Agenda said it will not be next month's Budget, calling it a "tax con". But Nick Clegg told ITV News the Tories "can't keep turning a blind eye to the super wealthy."
Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg has told ITV News his Conservative colleagues in the Coalition are "turning a blind eye" to the super rich being taxed on their lavish properties in the same way as those living in modest homes.
Chancellor George Osborne told ITV's The Agenda he rejects the idea of a "mansion tax", proposed by the Liberal Democrats and now backed by Labour, as it is a "tax con".
But Mr Clegg has told ITV News' Political Correspondent Libby Wiener that the current Conservative policy is "unfair".
