@MartinSLewis Don't give a toss cash is king

If you're one of those people who sees your credit score move by 12 points, swears and panics a bit - do give this a listen. Its not all what you think it is :)

@Wicket_Weir @MartinSLewis Yeah wait till you claim it what yes ya pay into it for 37 years which the money has helped run this country which you have benifit Ed from it's my pension so two words fook off

@MartinSLewis I find it bizarre that people over 65years can save up to £20000 tax free while claiming a State Pension which is a Welfare Benefit paid for by non pension age taxpayers

Bizarrely I'm being attacked by a few for the cut in the cash ISA limit, even though I've been one of the people leading the charge AGAINST. I think its because I pushed for a carve out for older people. So I thought it worth explaining... I think the cut in the cash ISA limit is the wrong solution to the right problem, that people in the UK, especially young people under-invest and over-save. My solution would be carrot not stick. Better education, better access to guidance, and investment incentive. After a series of meetings over the last year with govt where I strongly pushed that, as well as giving evidence to that tune at Treasury Committee, and publicly voiced my opposition to cutting the limit... a couple of weeks ago I knew the writing was on the wall - and the limit was almost certainly being cut (though i didnt know how much). At that point I argued it was a perverse outcome especially for older people. The govt has always said the cut wasn't about raising revenue, it was about getting younger people to invest. So I then argued, if you're going to cut the cash ISA limit, then doing it for older people, many of whom should be moving to be more risk averse didn't make any sense. The policy now has cut the limit for under 65s, I suspect my voice along many others may have helped that. Within an overall policy move I disagree with I think this makes absolute sense.

Kevin Maguire: "If you're put up in a hotel & you get meals you get £10/wk.. all these terrible myths.. free iPads.. myths & lies have gone mainstream & we've got to challenge them.. we've gone back to the worst aspects of the 1970s where racism is becoming mainstream" Well said

@Channel4News This is what to expect from politicians

“The whole frame of the migration crisis is a racist, fascist frame.” Migrants are “not to blame” for the state of British public services, instead the answer is to point the finger at “private jets, millionaires and billionaires”, Green Party leader Zack Polanski says.

@MartinSLewis How foolish the markets are always in termoil and old folks don't handle it well stick to fixed or cash

Rachel Reeves gave a statement on ISAs to the BBC today. Reading between the lines its seems that, she is still considering announcing a cut specifically to the cash ISA allowance for new money (rumoured from current £20k down to as low as £4k) as part of Autumn Statement. Done in the (I suspect mostly forlorn) hope people will shift to investing that money, as the investment (& total) ISA limit would stay at £20,000 or even rise. In my view better investment education, communication and widespread accessible guidance would be a more effective way to the same goal. Here's what she said... "‘I’m not going to reduce the limit of what people can put into an Isa but I do want people to get better returns on their savings, whether that’s in a pension or in their day-to-day savings. ‘And at the moment, a lot of money is put into cash or bonds when it could be invested in equities, in stock markets and earn a better return for people. ‘And so, one of the reasons why we’re looking at advice and guidance that financial firms can give to their customers is to make sure that people are making informed decisions about how to invest their money, whether that’s their pension savings, or their Isa savings. ‘So those are things that we’re looking at, but I absolutely want to preserve that £20,000 tax-free investment that people can make every year.’
