Certainly did. They can't get foreigners to work for peanuts and live in squalid conditions so easily nowdays.

I think there's more of that happening since brexit, than before.

Brexit just changed the immigrant type, not the immigrant issue

Misses quite a lot.
She's going to push money currently available for lending, ie mortgages etc, into American companies.
Removing the 0.5% tax on UK share purchases would help.is only 0.15
There's no particular reason to invest in UK companies, The exchange cost to buy is only 0.15% even for little me. That does not go our HMG, of course.
The article implies that ISA max out at 20k which is far from te case. That's per aannum. With growth and additions over time individuals can have over £1m in them. Dividends from them are tax free too.

Is possibly considering the lobbyjng from people in the personal finance trade who want to get their hands on some of the money that is currently held by the banking trade.

More likely she got her sums wrong, as everyone with half a brain predicted, and she needs to come back for more money.

Drip, drip, drip tax rises. The worse way to do it. Confidence drops, investment drops and people lose jobs.

Certainly a total cap would be fairer.

Reducing the 20k annual limit, screws the young, while allowing those who have been long term ISAering savings to hold 100s of thousands tax free.

It’s odd how you never thought that when Conservatives were in power between 2019 and 2024 where they put £80b of tax rises in place.





Highest taxes for 70 years under Tories
Worse ever public services under Tories

lowest unemployment.

But if you do a search, you will see I frequently complained about:
- Tax free pension caps - I can only pay £10k per year into my pension tax free, while everyone who pays vastly less tax, can save £60k tax free
- Lowering of 45% tax threshold - costs another few grand in tax every year
- Lowering of capital gains tax threshold.
- Loss of personal allowance.

But at least under the Tories we had more people in work, making a contribution.

Defence firms are going to do well in the next few years, I'm also hoping RR are awarded contracts for the small nuclear reactors set to be announced in the spring.

Hotels, pubs and anything to do with retail are a different story though.
