Hong Kong Watch has found that BNO Hong Kongers who have gained settled status in 🇬🇧 continue to be blocked by @HSBC from accessing their #MPF savings. In @thisismoney, our Policy Director @megan_khoo condemned this retaliatory behaviour, and @pritipatel pressed @GOVUK to urgently investigate the denial of millions of pounds to those with legitimate ID. @Cal_Muirhead thisismoney.co.uk/money/mark…

A US activist investor decides to intervene in a UK fund and this is the result, as @Cal_Muirhead reports. Shouldn't savers enjoy greater protection against such raids?

Eyebrows have been raised at the estimates for bumper stamp duty revenues in 2030-2031. These are partly based on the government's v ambitious general election housebuilding pledges being achieved. The problem is that this seems mostly unlikely 🏠🏘

At Tuesday’s Spring Statement, Rachel Reeves will try and pull the wool. She’ll say the plan is working. But we all know it isn’t. We’re getting poorer. Unemployment is at pandemic levels and rising. We have the highest borrowing costs in the G7. Britain deserves honesty - and a plan to fix our economy. But if the briefings are to be believed, Reeves will come to Parliament on Tuesday and take no action whatsoever. In today’s @DailyMail, I set out a few home truths to a Chancellor who is out of her depth, out of touch, and rapidly running out of road👇🏻

NEW: 1/The government is poised to announce a u-turn on sharp increases to the business rates bill faced by pubs. It's expected that the government will reduce the so called "multiplier" - the percentage of a pubs rateable value used to calculate business rates bills....

Lots of big tax rises, mostly happening around election year. What could possibly go wrong?

Rachel Reeves can count herself (at least a bit) lucky. OBR productivity downgrade would have knocked £16 billion off tax receipts. But she was saved by £32 billion of *extra* receipts from higher inflation and a shift to more tax-rich growth (lower profits, higher wages).

...and even savers who think that they are not exposed to AI stocks could be hit, as I explain. You may think you're investing around the globe, but, in fact, your fund may be mostly focused on the tech titans of Silicon Valley 💲 #financialmailonsunday

There are more warnings of global meltdown. But where could it start? Taiwan is one location, as @Cal_Muirhead and @PatrickTooher report ...
