@MartinSLewis If only this policy came with a new British ISA, where you can still save £20k tax-free each year, but it is invested by banks or the gov into British businesses, and the gov guarantees any losses, so it becomes a no-risk ISA that still gets invested where it's needed.

CASH ISA NEWS. Changes from 6 April 2027
Cash ISA annual allowance cut to £12,000 (from £20,000) per tax year
This will not apply to over 65s, who will keep £20,000 cash ISA limit
The shares ISA will remain at £20,000
Remember this ONLY impacts new money being put in, it won't impact money already in ISAs #Budget2026
English
@PhilisaGuy @PolitlcsUK Cash ISA allowance is reduced. Stocks and shares ISA is not (I believe)
English
🚨 BREAKING: Rachel Reeves says she is cutting the annual cash ISA limit from £20,000 to £12,000 from April 2027 to encourage people to invest in stocks and shares
This will only apply to under 65s

@ThePoliticalY @PolitlcsUK It's a shame they don't announce a "British ISA" where you still have 20k (or more) tax-free each year, the government invests it for you into British businesses, and they guarantee it too, so people don't have to worry about losing it.
English
To be fair, some cash ISA's have ridiculously low rates, and people are effectively losing money keeping it sat in them sometimes.
The issue is how does she expect this to attract people specifically to UK assets/equities? There's also a whole financial education side to this to make sure people don't just gamble the money into penny stocks.
English
@Somucheffort @PolitlcsUK When you are older, you need the security of cash. When you are younger, you have time for any dips in an investment to go back into profit. Over 65s should not be putting their savings into riskier stocks.
English
@PolitlcsUK Is it legal for her to discriminate based on age like this? Why should over 65s benefit?
