Will the Budget be good for you? - This is Money Show

This is Money Podcast ·

2016/03/18

Tax cuts and the Lifetime Isa were the giveways in George Osborne's Budget, but will they help you? Simon Lambert and Lee Boyce, of This is Money, join Georgie Frost, of Share Radio, to take the Chancellor's plans apart in this week’s This is Money Show and try to work out whether it was a good, bad or indifferent Budget. The outlook for the economy, the Budget winners and losers and the thorny question of whether a Lifetime Isa beats a pension are all up for debate. (Along with a look at some

Just how – badly – will the Budget affect you?

This is Money Podcast ·

2016/03/11

The Chancellor, George Osborne, has earned a reputation for leaks, U-Turns and unworkable tweaks to our taxes. A captain of chaos, some might say. His recent achievement, killing the cash Isa and replacing it with a tax-free limit on ALL savings accounts, will be a particularly memorable mess if anyone ever works out how it’s going to work. He’s got another Budget speech planned for Wednesday 16 March. For once, we don’t know much about what’s going to be in it. This is a bad sign

A life changing edition - This is Money podcast

2016/03/04

Everything you thought you knew about life, the Isa and everything is wrong. Modern life is amazing; we’ve never had it so good. We have technology and prosperity above anything anyone a few decades ago could have possibly imagined. And we have a welfare state to look after those who inevitably fall off the merry-go-round of progress. These are the conclusions of the arguably the world’s greatest businessman, Warren Buffett. So why are our politicians, bankers and bonkers billionaires

How bad are our banks? - This is Money podcast

2016/02/26

Britain still holds a stake in two of its biggest banks, Lloyds and RBS, but how bad are they? We take a look at whether the banks' results, whether they are cleaning up their act and whether they are worth investing in. Meanwhile,... It was the best of times… it is now the most uncertain of times. With four months to go to before the people of England, Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland and the 2 million expats living in continental Europe vote whether to stay in or out of the European single

The economics of Brexit - This is Money podcast

This is Money Podcast ·

2016/02/19

What would Brexit mean for the UK economy? It is said Great Britain used to rule the world. Today we’re just a small part - albeit an important one - of Europe, with a few remaining outposts - most notably a couple of bailiwicks in France, an island in Argentina and a rock in Spain. And now our role in Europe is under threat. Or is it? Do we accept what some vocal business leaders have said this week and remain a loyal insider of this massive single-market economy? Or do we vote with our

Share prices around the world this week have been falling like dominoes in a record-breaking dominoes falling over attempt. London loses 2% in a day, New York opens and falls 2% then in Asia the sell-off continues, slashing 2% off its market value. London opens again and mirrors the previous losing sessions in Asia and the USA and so it goes on. And on. The FTSE 100 index of leading UK shares found itself at a three and a half year low.

Flop of the shops – This is Money podcast

2016/02/05

It’s been a couple of years since Tesco got found out. The store that thought it could get away with whatever it wanted because customers, it said, ‘wanted its cheap prices’ was embroiled in an accounting scandal in 1994. And the problems continue. Were Tesco’s prices really cheaper? You can ask the customers it has lost to low-cost rivals Lidl and Aldi about that. It’s also losing customers to online rivals as the internet provides what the High Street can’t – 24 hour opening, among other

2016/01/29

After a seven-year investigation into Google’s UK tax affairs, the company agreed to pay £130m to us. Chancellor George Osborne hailed it a huge success. No one else agreed. Especially not the Shadow Chancellor, anyone with a calculator, or even the French, who a few days later announced they were negotiating a much bigger windfall on a far smaller business than Google UK. It amounted to a tax rate of about 3% on its multi-billion-pound earnings in this country. And all this at the

The Bear Necessities – This is Money show

This is Money Podcast ·

2016/01/22

Banks, the City, Wall Street, call them what you will – they use jargon to steal your money. It’s what caused the walloping financial crash in 2008. And it’s possibly what’s going to cause another one eight years later – that’s right, in 2016; this year! We’re in a bear market. What even is a bear market? The opposite of bull, of course. See how easy it is? This week, This is Money editor Simon Lambert and personal finance editor Rachel Rickard Straus join Share Radio’s Georgie Frost to

Luckily we have the most upbeat and entertaining trio in financial broadcasting, Simon Lambert, Lee Boyce and Georgie Frost, taking a fun look at what's been happening over the last seven days – however grim it is.

It’s not often that a watchdog not only watches but also bites. But that’s what the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) has done to our shameful banks. Sorry listeners, it’s bad bankers again! This time it’s the ‘pathetic’ interest rates paid to loyal savers, some as low as 0.01%.

The no-brainer savings deal - This is Money Show

2015/12/04

Is this the best financial product ever? From a saver's point of view the Help to Buy Isa may just be that. Much of the work at This is Money involves uncovering bad behaviour at banks and other providers of financial products. Anyone would think bankers had no morals. Of course, we also work hard to praise the good stuff. One banker this week, claims a product has been launched that has no downside. Really?

Banks on trial and 'convicted' - This is Money Show

2015/11/20

When banks brought down the global economy in 2007/08, Iceland jailed the bankers responsible. In Britain meanwhile, taxpayers gave our bankers getting on for £200 billion to be paid for by cutting spending on police, armed forces and the benefits of disabled people. We also commissioned a report into multiple scandals committed at HBOS bank that has taken seven years of writing. The report came out this week.
