My thoughts on why I think it is a bad idea that the UK is switching to issuing more short-dated debt? How has the UK bond market responded to the Budget? Will mutuals be affected by he cash ISA changes? Can you explain how student loans affect the UK public finances?

The Military Industrial Complex is a disgrace that needs reform
This week has brought several stories which have reminded me of the famous words of President Eisenhower.

Simply extraordinary that UK Chancellor Rachel Reeves who has borrowed so much tries to blame others for the cost of UK debt interest.
