I believe this is one of the great tolerant societies that revels in and should be proud of freedom of worship for all Christians Jews Muslims Hindus and more. These individuals seeking to divide us will not win. We must not let them"

"FT reports @RachelReevesMP may be resurfacing plans to cut the Cash (not shares) ISA limit from 20000/yr to 10000/yr. Treasury says any ISA changes won't be to raise revenue but to encourage investing -Lack of investing is a problem -Cutting cash ISA limit ISN'T the solution In the meetings I've had I've been told again and again they want to encourage especially younger people to invest. Yet a cash ISA cut would simply piss millions of often older people off and I doubt will change the dial on investing it'd just mean more tax paid on saving and a problem for building societies raising cash"

"For me that's a false comparison. In the 1980s a typical house price was around 3x annual salary now its over 6x (and over 10x in some parts of the country). It is clearly more difficult for first timers to buy evidenced by the fact the average age of first ownership has risen substantially. What matters most to people is what's changing. If you buy a house on X% interest rate and it rises to X% that's a big hit. Buy at XX% and its stay at XX% and your budgeting works. In the last few months worst of all we've see fixed rate mortgages rise while fixed rate savings fall. So the margins are"
