I have been Compounding with dividend growth stocks for 10 years now using the Compound Income Scores. Here's a review of how that has been & lessons from that. See here if that is of any interest: compoundincome.org/indexphp/…

Seems quite a plausible & not surprising.
The number of businesses in Britain has fallen by 104,000 since 2025, taking the total down to 5.6m, government figures have revealed.
The main contributor to the decline was the loss of 157,000 self-employed people. It's not surprising that the self-employed are quitting in droves. The mad "Making Tax Difficult" requirement to force them to file tax returns five times a year has pushed out many.
The upcoming requirement to pay tax early will make cash flow very challenging and force many more self-employed out of the market.

I have had 5 this year with the last one in August 2026. The last two months have been bad so I get the point.

Economic suicide in the name of meaningless virtue signalling.
What an embarrassing time to be British.
Or an encouragement to spend it as your "only" taxed at 20% at the moment for the luxury of spending.

The shortest dated low coupon Gilt is 1/8 Treasury 31/1/28 which has a GRY of 4.32% & an annual income yield of 0.13% which will be subject to 24% or 44% tax from April next year. While the current Prize Fund on PB's is 4.35% tax free with average luck. nsandi.com/products/premium-…

So income tax for higher rate taxpayer is 40%, plus 2% for NI
Rental income and bank interest for higher rate taxpayers was 40%, and no NI
Then Rachael Reeves increased it to 42% starting in April.
With some logic, that income regardless of source is in effect taxed the same (leaving dividend taxation aside)
But now Healy is increasing it to 44%
Is this their attempt at a wealth tax?
We'll make landlords and the cash rich pay higher rates than workers?

FYI, talking about Brexit yesterday, Angela Rayner claimed that...
“The evidence is really clear in terms of 20% down in exports to the EU, 16,000 businesses no longer exporting to the EU, it has been the red tape on the EU deal we got, has been damaging to the economy”.
But if this is indeed the evidence, it really is not clear!
Let's unpick it... 🧵

Some good stuff to remember & take note of in here & why I do what I do in investing. 👇
J.P. Morgan JUST released its 2026 principles to long term investing-
And it’s the ultimate case for long term compounding.
I pulled out 10 charts every investor should see, because these numbers are staggering: 🧵👇

I remember back in the 90's I think it was MP's arguing that lower funding would lead to less quality dramas & more low quality TV. I didn't really get it back then, but I do now!
