Cash ISA reforms are being considered for Budget, No 10 confirms Rachel Reeves has indicated tax rises are likely to fall on assets rather than wages

Reeves mulls ISA changes.

Cut Cash ISA from £20k to £10k. Savers to pay more tax.

Force savers to hold shares for tax relief. Mulls removing 0.5% stamp duty on shares.

Will boost bank fees. Trading results in A buying from B. Money doesn't go to companies.

And when shares crash?

16m live in poverty. 34% of universal credit claimants are in work. Millions rely on food banks.

Bottom 50% of population has 5% of wealth; the bottom fifth has only 0.5%.

Perhaps most importantly:

An EDP can only go ahead if the best science shows nature will be in a better state afterwards than before work started.

The Planning Bill will have huge consequences for England’s wildlife.

UK Govt amendments – won after thousands spoke up – improved some parts. But risks remain, and we’re working to ensure safeguards are watertight.

Israel Tortured And Sexually Humiliated Greta Thunberg Listen to a reading of this article (reading by Tim Foley):

“This shows that if Israel, with the whole world watching, can treat a well-known, white person with a Swedish passport this way, imagine what they do to Palestinians behind closed doors”

Israel has publicly shamed the Swedish Government… yet they do nothing!

Wage war on nature to build new homes: that’s Labour’s offer, but it’s a con trick | George Monbiot The government’s new planning bill is tearing down environmental protections to benefit developers. This nation of nature lovers won’t stand for it, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot

Today's column is about the government's huge, unprecedented assault on nature ... and about the eerie, astonishing silence of the big nature groups. The RSPB, National Trust, Wildlife Trusts have 7.5m members between them. A vast force, completely unmobilised. 🧵

Say no to bullying of NHS staff Treatment of striking NHS staff This helps to explain the treatment of NHS workers on strike in Gloucestershire in recent months.&nbsp; A small but mighty group of workers have been on strike since...

I just learnt that over £100,000 of NHS funds have been wasted on defending bullying instead of paying frontline staff fairly.
