But private markets lack transparency. Even seasoned investors struggle.
ISA will let punters dump high risk onto households, who unlike private equity don't hold diversified portfolios.

DWP is already seeking access to local authority social care databases to identify persons going into hospital/ respite care and adjust benefits accordingly.
The real kicker is not that they want these data, but that they want access across the databases. Total overreach by UK government.

It appears to me that the Westminster Gov, when failing to engage with a large number of their electorate who are horrified at the continued killing of the Palestinian people, rush to create ambiguous laws that prevent peaceful protest. This also leads the police into a political minefield.
