Some City folk are pushing to scrap the cash ISA. Personally I am in favour of @fideinvest.bsky.social 's proposal, as described in the FT.

Gotta say, I am loving the @octopus.energy usage charts on its Cosy Octopus tariff (which is a bit like a very fancy version of Economy 7 - see how the price varies during the day - thin left hand line on multicoloured graph). I am saving about 16%.

Interesting piece about why Trump wants Greenland. But it misses what I wonder whether may be the main reason... To provide leverage against Putin on Ukraine? I.e. I'll drop claims on Greenland if you quit Ukraine

A lot of rich parents are very upset at the government for charging VAT on private school fees. Maybe they should instead ask why private schools have put up fees so far above inflation over the past 15 years. www.ft.com/content/852b...

The definitive analysis on the impact of IHT changes on farming. Spoiler - fewer than 400 farms affected, based on latest data, many of whom are tax avoiding 'non farmers'.

Serious question. Will the UK be better off with an Ambassador in DC who freewheels promising deals that potentially his government doesn't agree with, or one who sticks to carefully considered lines in balancing e.g. US and EU? Unsure of the answer to that.

Producers' views on league tables/etc are not nearly as valuable as consumers' views, imho. I strongly suspect parents, the consumers, prefer the one dimensional approach.

Bluesky is now the #2 social app in the US, Canada, and #3 in the UK 🦋 On bsky, ~30% of y'all are posters compared to the 1% main characters on other platforms. Turns out there's more chattiness & connection when you have algorithmic choice 🤭

I just clocked that EIS/SEIS have been extended 10 more years. Tho I'm not quite sure if this was an EU legacy thing or demonstrates support for those schemes from Rachel Reeves etc al. ukbaa.org.uk/blog/2024/08...

Interesting analysis by @danneidle.bsky.social on non-dom abolition, arguing the main impact will be from inheritance tax (IHT) - with good examples in footnotes. Limiting non-dom tax break to IHT feels politically doable, and potentially revenue-raising. taxpolicy.org.uk/2024/09/08/w...
