There are fair arguments to be made on both sides regarding Farage's £90bn tax cuts. They simply cannot all be instated and do ring of "fantasy economics" in some regards, but I think you would struggle to find any supporters of "fiscal drag", that most euphemistic of persistent tax burdens. But, even more vital to Farage's credibility is his perception from the polling station, not Threadneedle Street - and right now he seems more concerned with winning votes in the US than he does the UK.

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. Speaking to people who have been in the room, there is no sense that the cash Isa is safe. In fact, cutting the cash Isa limit remains firmly on the table.

Don't jump to conclusions – cash Isa cuts are still very much on the table. The £20k *overall* Isa allowance is safe, that much has been confirmed, but the chancellor still seems rather keen to get the "balance" between cash and equities right. https://t.co/XSY2WU0llK

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
