We also have a quick, easy poll to find out how you feel about paying for Christmas on a credit card. Then, just to switch gear a moment, unusually, I've written a political column this week. It's one i wrote for my Substack, News Uncut, about the Israel/Hamas war. I
was so alarmed by the push to make us choose a side in the conflict, and do it quite violently, that I felt I had to make the point that we are being played. We don't have to pick a side here and, given the horrendous death and destruction on both sides, we really shouldn't. There are some dodgy dealings going on in that small part of the globe and also here in the UK and across the West. We are being nudged again (remember how
we were nudged with covid, with Ukraine, with Net Zero?) and that means we need to stop and think and regroup. Take a look at some of what I have to say here. Feel free to let us know what you think of our newsletters and what you'd like to see in them going forward. Email us at

You can get just short of 6% on some accounts which hasn’t been seen since before the 2008 financial crash. But there’s always a catch isn’t there? The catch now is that with this extra interest you could easily be caught in the trap of savings tax. Here are the facts. You may like to move some of your cash before it gets
taxed.
