If you earn £125k+ in Scotland, the government takes 50% of it
If you put the remainder in the bank to earn some interest, the government now takes 49% of that
Happy saving!
NEW. Additional tax on savings interest (outside of your personal savings allowance and cash ISAs) from April 2027
Basic rate taxpayer: 24% on savings interest and property income
Higher rate taxpayer: 44%
Top rate taxpayer: 49%
So the fact the cash ISA is staying at £20,000 per year is even more important. #Budget2026

In Britain they make you file your taxes every month, call people who earn over £50,000 ($65,000) a year “high earners”, and tax them at 40%
The hidden tax measure in the Budget is huge for people paying tax under self-assessment - sole traders, partners, landlords, retired investors.
For 6th April 2028-29, you currently pay 50% of your income tax late in the tax year in question (in January 2029), 50% just after the year end (in July 2029) with any make-up payment in January 2030.
Under the new proposals you will pay your tax perhaps monthly or quarterly (TBC) from April 2029 onwards. A rough analysis suggests the impact is to draw about 50% of your tax bill forward, a huge cashflow boost to HMRC and a significant funding issue for the self-employed.
The Treasury recognises this, and expects to raise £1.3bn of additional tax in 29/30 as a result of this change.
The cashflow impact of the accelerated charge will send some businesses to the wall.

I understand from my accountants that Business Asset Disposal Relief has been reduced from £1m to £500,000. There are also a number of conditions the business and individual needs to comply with before they qualify.
Begs the Q: why bother setting up a business in the UK?

Now that I've successfully shamed Jon Ronson off X, it falls to @louistheroux and @DAaronovitch to explain why they continue to look the other way while men like this sexually humiliate female students and colleagues.
I want trials.

An electric car mileage tax starts in April 2028, at 3p per mile.
Electric cars were never about helping the environment, it was a means for the government to take more of your money and thus more of your freedom.

Government slipped out further liberalisation of migration in the budget - comes on top of Mahmood's dodgy new routes and plans to open up free movement with EU again
My last MoR.
AC/DC abre el Monsters of Rock de Donington en 1991 con “Thunderstruck” y el concierto se convierte en una de las imágenes más claras de su legado.
Angus Young entra con el riff de siempre, caminando en el sitio mientras toca. Chris Slade golpea la batería con esa energía que define a la banda.
El público responde al instante…. Brian Johnson sale corriendo y grita “Thunder”.
Es el estilo que AC/DC lleva décadas sosteniendo: riffs simples, ritmo que no se detiene y una presencia en el escenario que no necesita adornos. En Donington, ante una multitud enorme, suena igual de directo que en un disco.
El legado de la banda está en esa consistencia. Décadas de la misma fórmula, la misma intensidad y la misma capacidad de convertir un concierto en una fiesta. “Thunderstruck” no es solo un tema de apertura. Es la prueba de que el hard rock de AC/DC sigue funcionando cuando se toca en vivo, sin filtros y con la misma fuerza que en los 80.
En Donington 1991 se ve por qué AC/DC sigue siendo referencia: No cambian el sonido para el escenario, pese a que el escenario esté con más de 75mil personas… El legado de la banda y el concierto quedan en el mismo lugar.
¿Eres un fan de AC/DC o al menos alguien que lo mantiene en sus listas de música?
¡Thunder! ⚡️🎶⚡️🎶⚡️🎶

Don’t EVER tell me that Flydubai Captain Smit Machchhar isn’t a hero, or that it was just an ‘altercation’ in the cockpit.
The man is a genuine HERO who saved 174 lives from a scumbag Islamic jihadist who wanted to end 174 lives.

I predict
1 it will now become permanent
2 the pension will go up in real terms
3 the personal allowance will go down in real terms.
So in say ten years this will become a serious disincentive to people in their late 60s working part-time.
I want trials.
