U.K. Prime Minister Theresa May will tell wealthy elderly voters that their home may be sold after their deaths to pay the bills.
Three weeks before elections, May is showing confidence in winning big by taking a calculated risk on a politically loaded issue affecting the slice of the population with the highest voter turnout. She will also promise further controls on immigration by doubling the levy charged to businesses for hiring migrant workers, according to a person familiar with the plans.
