Increase mortgage to invest in an ISA?

My wife and I have not used up our ISA allocations this year . Does it make sense in the long run to draw £10k down on our flexible mortgage at 4.75%svr and invest it in an ISA at 3.3%. I know the sums don't seem to make sense at the moment but does it make sense in the long term. Thanks everyone. T

    I would say No and No, I guess there are nominal advantages if you're a high rate tax payer but I wouldn't even consider it.
