Imagine a Chinese tech CEO credibly accused of having an affair with a suspected American intelligence asset, interfering with investigations into export-control evasion, and supplying billions in advanced chips that bolster US cyberwarfare capabilities.

What do you think would happen to him?

It's bad to cap credit card rates in the first place, but it adds insult to injury that the cap isn't even indexed on the prime rate. A telltale sign of financial illiteracy.

I used to think it was somewhat conspiratorial to think that fiscal policy was aimed at destroying private enterprise, not merely at attempting (often haplessly) to raise revenue. I am no longer sure that it's not, in fact, the explicit strategy of the Fabian Society.

The government's war against the self-employed is intensifying with brutal new proposals to force them to pay tax monthly in advance. The crunch year will be 2029, when they will have to pay double the amount of tax in one year.

“The Government’s proposed changes to how self-assessment operates are completely unworkable as they stand and will cause enormous cash flow problems for many thousands of self-employed people,” warned the Federation of Small Businesses

“Under the new proposals, in 2029 the self-employed will have to pay around two years’ worth of tax in one go.”

The plan is clearly to give Labour a one-off cash boost in an election year.
