    If I take out a 5 year ISA with the maximum deposit of  £20000 does that mean I cannot open any more ISA`s in the future until this 5 year term has lapsed

    No.

    You can contribute £20,000 of new money in each and every new tax year irrespective of previous contributions.

    You can, currently, subscribe to multiple ISAs per year.

    Rachel from accounts The Chancellor may tweak the rules on Wednesday.
    Fixed that for you 

    I appreciate that "Rachel from accounts" is intended to be "funny" but it belittles the person with a senior government position, who for the first time happens to be a woman.

    Did you ever refer to Kwasi from accounts, Rishi from accounts, George from accounts or Gordon from accounts etc.? No, you referred to them I expect as "The Chancellor".

    Rachel Reeves should also be referred to as The Chancellor, as that is her title.


    But we have had Spreadsheet Phil, Flash Gordon, Call me Dave, the Maybot, Bojo the Clown etc. Admittedly some of these nicknames have been encouraged by the receiver of them.

    It's not really based on her being a female Chancellor and originated more due to her allegedly embellishing her CV.
    I would suggest that Dishi Rishi or Kami-Kwasi are just as belittling as Rachel from Accounts - both nicknames for previous Chancellors.

    You have a point and might as well come up to date with Two Tier Kier, Kemi Badenough and Honest Nige.

    I still think though there is an element of misogyny, when it comes to the first ever female Chancellor.
