    Under the previous Labour government, rounding was done so that the figure was divisible by 12, so this would be a continuation of that. £1,000 a month feels a lot better than £833.33, even though it’s not that much more.

    You've got to be a bit scared of a Chancellor who thinks that Cash ISAs and S&S ISAs serve the same purpose for most people.
    Quite.

    Stocks & shares ISAs (Individual Savings Accounts) shouldn't actually be called ISAs at all.

    One is investment in stocks etc. with associated risk, and the other is keeping money in cash on deposit in return for an interest payment - two completely different things. The "ISA" just means that there is no tax to pay - it is not the type of product. Rach from a/cs just doesn't get it.
    I think they meant the "S" in ISA was misleading when discussing S&S' ISAs 😉
    How's it going, AKA, Nutwatch? - rolling 12 month spends to date = 2.85% of current retirement "pot" (as at end October 2026)

    More newspapers are reporting the latest pseudo-leaks from the govt. today in relation to a £12k cap on cash ISAs, first mentioned a few days ago but now being more widely reported. Again though, it's just speculation.

  • By way of preparation, what would be the most cash-like ETFs that one could use in an S&S ISA in lieu of a reduction in the cash ISA allowance should it arise?

    Papers just copy each other, so it could be a leak, or it could just be a rumour echo to fill space.

    There are money market ETFs (eg, CSH2) but *if* there are restrictions, I'd fully expect cash equivalent funds/ETFs to have the same restrictions.
