  • Rayner’s irrational tax raid will suffocate Britain’s most promising businesses

    1 week ago | aol.co.uk | James Baxter-Derrington

    Thirty years ago, 10 plucky firms listed on London’s new Alternative Investment Market (AIM) with a combined capitalisation of just £82m, opting for the exchange as a less burdensome and expensive means of attracting investor capital than the main market. Since that time the average market cap of a single Aim firm has grown to £101m, more than 4,000 companies have participated in the market and raised over £135bn from investors.

    Rather than cobbled together estimates from various interested figures, these numbers come from HMRC as per a Freedom of Information request from TWM Solicitors, and represent the projected income of Rachel Reeves's raid from her inaugural Budget, in which she halved the tax relief available. It stands to reason that culling the remaining 50pc tax relief would raise the same sums again. Except it doesn't.

    So, to clarify: the Chancellor has only committed to preserving the £20,000 Isa allowance - she has categorically not said that this can all be held in cash.

    Investing is a volatile game. In the space of just a few weeks a stock can double in value or be completely wiped out, and it can require nerves of steel to see through the red numbers. Since 1945, we have witnessed more than a dozen bear markets, defined as a sustained period in which stock markets collapse more than 20pc in value. During the Global Financial Crisis, stocks fell over 50pc, more than halving your investment on paper.

Whether Boaz wins plan B, C or Q, it doesn’t seem likely Saba will skulk away until it can wave a piece of paper declaring victory, however pyrrhic. (Plus a nod to a very impressive line-up from @lsesuAIC) https://t.co/xZmE7Af6Zy

Nothing lasts forever - is this AI's Amstrad moment? A serendipitous venture into the BBC archives yesterday sparked a thought on what DeepSeek actually means for AI. Little more than a ChatGPT clone, is there much to separate it from Amstrad's IBM clones? https://t.co/OCjNWHWZHs
