Its gone back up again though and the immediate impact is not as bad as thought (was 6.9% down but currently 3.9% down).I am an Independent Financial Adviser (IFA). The comments I make are just my opinion and are for discussion purposes only. They are not financial advice and you should not treat them as such. If you feel an area discussed may be relevant to you, then please seek advice from an Independent Financial Adviser local to you.0 -
The only reason why its not 10% down is that the market does not understand why the bill is not going through.0
