I couldn't agree more good post

The governor of the Bank of England, Andrew Bailey, has signalled he is pessimistic about the current worker shortages crippling the UK economy ending soon.

Giving evidence to the Treasury Committee, Bailey said the main problem in the economy is now “getting jobs filled"

The MPC voted to maintain the pace of bond purchases to ensure the stock of the Bank’s assets swell to £895bn and keep rates unchanged at 0.1 per cent in their previous meeting in August

The UK will try to use a major summit next month to close a series of investment deals potentially worth billions of pounds with Gulf countries like Saudi Arabia, Qatar and Oman.

The Global Investment Summit will see Boris Johnson and international trade secretary Liz Truss focus their energies on trying to broker investment deals with Middle Eastern states similar to the multi-billion pound agreement signed with the United Arab Emirates (UAE) this year.

""NI isn't increasing. A new levy is being introduced ring fenced for health and social care""

Now isn't the time to be increasing National Insurance. It is going to be a difficult time for people anyway with the end of furlough, end of the Stamp Duty holiday and high inflation. The last thing we need at the moment is to be paying more tax. There are hundreds of directors of limited companies who pay themselves an income through dividends. This is a group that were locked out of any financial support during the pandemic and are now facing the double whammy of seeing their income hit just as the recovery takes shape

Share price is tanking on news of tax hike looks like investors are going to suffer even more especially those who rely on dividends as income
