    Reeves to cut ISA allowance to £5k

    This arguably provides more incentive to not just save, but to save into something that will produce better results for the individual.

    Reeves to cut ISA allowance to £5k

    Great post. Especially the reference to exposure to the market and I hadn't considered that but makes total sense. Seems scary as hell at first but is the opposite after a period of the ups and downs. As you rightly point out, you don't need to invest in volatile stocks and shares

    Reeves to cut ISA allowance to £5k

    A few weeks back there was genuine discussion of the tanking of the S&P 500. Stocks lost 20-30% of their value including my kids ISAs. A few weeks on and it just hit an all time high again going above where they were. Nothing is impossible of course and past performance cannot predict the...

    Reeves to cut ISA allowance to £5k

    Just a point of order, this is for Cash ISAs only and the 20k allowance will still be available with a proposal to limit the cash allocation. I don't agree with the loss of choice but the returns on cash ISA versus stocks and shares is costing people an awful lot of money over the years...

    Adam Armstrong available

    Deffo not having that the Eridivisie is tougher than the grind of the championship mate. Fewer games, top heavy in terms of teams being able to compete, nowhere near as physical. Definitely more technical I'd agree. Akpom has had one great season in his entire career, a loan would be decent...

    Food recommendations Harrogate

    Haven't been in years and going to be over that way with Mrs EBD in a few weeks. What are the very best restaurants in the area? Would prefer to avoid the Turkish & Greek options as we are well served with those in the big smoke. Cheers

    Chuba on the move

    He was unplayable that season, absolutely class. Problem is that it's the only season in his whole career where it happened. Unless he was cheap, I wouldn't take a punt personally. He's 29 and not likely to get better. I don't think our current setup would sign him again

    These here Starmer U-turns.

    Nobody is talking about the huge numbers of people economically inactive since Covid in the UK. This is a huge and largely UK based phenomenon with us having the second lowest rate of the G7 before COVID. Whereas other economies recovered, ours didn't and we still have millions of people who...

    Good post that at least recognises that the welfare Bill is out of control. We are letting millions of people down. The wealth gap is the main culprit. I'm worried that we cant realistically fix it

    Good positive signs from Edwards

    All that matters is that we get results. The rest is just fluff really. Like all the other managers that went before him, he'll get my full support until we're clearly going backwards. Maybe I'm cynical or a miserable sod, but the media training and the fact that he can articulate himself...

    Palestine Action

    Did you read the definition? A group needs to meet some very specific tests in order to be defined as involved in terrorism.

    Palestine Action

    Rather than just providing commentary isn't it worth looking at the actual legislation? Under UK terrorism law, the primary legislation governing terrorism is the Terrorism Act 2000, as amended by subsequent laws such as the Terrorism Act 2006, the Counter-Terrorism and Security Act 2015, and...

    Has anyone done a parachute jump?

    I felt similar. Jumping 15000 ft there was no frame of reference so felt bizarre but not scary. That was about 20 years ago. I'm about to do my first bungee jump in July at age 41. Loads more worrying 😂
