Victory for the Mail and This is Money as Healey axes Reeves’ cash Isa raid

Chancellor Rachel Reeves has dropped the planned restriction on cash Individual Savings Accounts after pressure from savings groups and campaigning by the Mail and This is Money. The reversal means savers can continue putting money into cash ISAs under the existing rules, avoiding a change that critics said would have limited their tax-free savings options.
