This is nothing, it's just interest on cash and nobody sensible sits cash in a S&S ISA.

But it sounds bad. It sounds punitive. It's a further example of how terrible Labour are at politics. Bad PR for no gain.

The comments for this post highlights just why financial literacy is an absolute must to be introduced into schools.

🚨 NEW: The UK has announced that interest on cash in Stocks and Shares ISAs will be taxed at 22%

[Richard Kakaso @RKakati]

@MingNoMerci @PolitlcsUK Only if they hold cash in stocks and shares ISAs

The only person in the UK not sweating today.

This is what #climate change does to heatwaves.

The famous 1976 heatwave is still remembered because it was exceptional. Yet the UK climate has warmed by around 1°C–1.5°C since then.

In 1976, temperatures above 40°C in the UK were considered virtually impossible. In 2022, the UK exceeded 40°C for the first time, reaching 40.3°C. This week, parts of the UK could approach that threshold again.

Climate change shifts the odds. What was once exceptional becomes more common. 🌡️📈

Temperatures are already widely exceeding 40°C across France.

Unbelievable levels of heat for the time of year.

It's probably stating the obvious but Djed Spence, Noni Madueke, Anthony Gordon, Reece James and Ezri Konsa are all very good footballers.

But if that's 5 of your starting XI you probably aren't going to win the World Cup.

16 - 🇨🇮 Yan Diomande has made 16 dribbles at the 2026 FIFA World Cup, the most of any player across the first two matchdays.

It's the most by an African teenager in a single edition over the last 60 years.

Excitement.

A minimum temperature of 22.3ºC at Brize Norton is a new highest minimum June record for the station by OVER 3ºC and an all-time station record by 1.3ºC (previous was 21.0ºC on 20th July 2016). An incredible margin to break the station records by; records began there in 1968.

I’m on leave away from Moscow. Just wanted to say thank you for watching, reading, listening to my posts and for all your comments. We’ll meet again here soon.

Badenoch being needlessly graceless, personally abusive and unpleasant. The Speaker rightly calling it out.

[(((Dan Hodges))) @DPJHodges]

I think the issues now is when, and not if, we reach “Crossover”. The point where Reform are no longer ahead in the polls. And what the internal and external reaction will be.

Declan Rice complaining about Ghana parking the bus is like a serial killer complaining about serial killers

[Bob Dwyer @bob__spurs]

In a world full of Djed Spences and Declan Rices.

Be a Djed Spence.

[Ben Kentish @BenKentish]

Sickening to me that someone charged with what Thomas Partey has been charged with is still playing football on the world’s biggest stage. Good for Djed Spence for refusing to shake his hand. Declan Rice going over to give him a massive hug, on the other hand….

[S.V. Dáte @svdate]

Um... Yeah.

He attempted a coup. He stole top secret documents and kept them at his country club. He would have absolutely gone to prison had he lost the election.

UKV model vs Reality!!

Look at this!! Absolutely insane how ukv and radar looked EXACTLY the same, exact same place and the rates and lightning rates, honestly very impressive especially that majority of models had nothing!

#ENGGHA
I don’t know which was worse:
England’s performance or the BBC tactical analysis afterwards in their ‘state of the art’ studio that has echoey microphones & crumpled posters.
Can’t they afford chairs?
And why is Micah Richards dressed as a dentist?
Sad. 😢

[bonjela papi 🇨🇻🇨🇩🇨🇼 @BonjelaPapi]

Declan Rice should be dropped btw. Handshakes you've been instructed on at the start are one thing, embracing your long lost rapist brother is another
