It's particularly fascinating given that just 1.2 million people (about 2% of the adult population) put more than £12,000 a year into a cash ISA. A lot of them are over 65 so will retain the £20,000 allowance. There are perhaps 600k to 800k people directly affected...

In other words, we *really* need to get away from thinking about cash savings as being 'safe', particularly for large amounts of cash over extended periods. Perhaps these products should have a risk warning on them, as is required for investments ... ?

Would love some in-depth numbers on what the majority of 20-30 somethings basically paying a 9% higher marginal tax rate has actually done to economic behaviour. Feels very under-discussed bsky.app/profile/igma...
Student loan repayment thresholds frozen for a further three years.
