Remember, remember, the Fifth of November Gunpowde Remember, remember, the Fifth of November Gunpowder treason and plot I see no reason why gunpowder treason Should ever be forgot What was the Gunpowder Plot? They had hoped for better treatment from the new monarch James I after 45 years of hounding under the reign of Elizabeth I, and decided on drastic measures when things did not improve under his reign. Warwickshire-born Catholic Robert Catesby and his friends planned kill the King, his ministers and scores of nobles by blowing up the Palace of Westminster during the State Opening of Parliament on November 5, 1605. The plotters rented a house nearby and managed to smuggle 36 barrels of gunpowder - around 2.5 tons - into a cellar under the palace ready to blow it sky high. The explosives were discovered with hours to spare after an anonymous tip-off warning one peer to stay away. To this day the cellars under the Houses of Parliament are ceremonially searched before the annual State Opening.
The Bank of England is to pump an extra £150bn in The Bank of England is to pump an extra £150bn into the economy as it warned the resurgence of Covid-19 would lead to a slower, bumpier recovery. Tighter lockdown rules, including new restrictions in England, are expected to push the UK into another downturn. While the economy is expected to avoid another recession, the Bank believes unemployment will rise sharply as government support schemes wind down. Policymakers also kept interest rates on hold at a record low of 0.1%. The Bank expects the economy to shrink by 2% in the final three months of 2020, before bouncing back at the start of 2021, assuming current restrictions loosen. It does not expect the UK economy to get back to its pre-virus size until the following year.
The #housing #market is to remain open for the fou The #housing #market is to remain open for the four week #lockdown in #England. The Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local #Government confirmed the news on Saturday evening via Twitter, some hours after #primeminister #borisjohnson announced the lockdown until December 2. A tweet from Housing Secretary Robert Jenrick said: "Q: Can I still move house? A: Yes – the housing market will remain open throughout this period. Everyone should continue to play their part in reducing the spread of the virus by following the current guidance." That current guidance says: "The process of searching for and moving into a new home is different because property agents, conveyancers and other professionals have modified how they work to reduce the risk from COVID-19. These changes could include doing more online, such as offering virtual viewings; vacating your current property during viewings; and ensuring your property is thoroughly cleaned before someone else moves in. We encourage all parties involved to be as flexible as possible and to be prepared to delay moves, for example if one of those involved becomes ill with COVID-19 during the moving process or has to self-isolate. It may become necessary to pause all home moves locally or nationally for a short period of time to manage the spread of coronavirus. We will let you know if this needs to happen. If you are about to enter into a legally binding contract, you should discuss the possible implications of COVID-19 with your legal professional and consider making contractual provisions to manage these risks. You should not expect to immediately be able to move into any home where people have COVID-19 or are self-isolating." This is national guidance and applies to all 3 Local COVID alert levels. If local restrictions are in place in your area, please check for local lockdowns guidance. You can use the UK GOV postcode checker to find out the alert level and which restrictions apply in the area you are moving to or from.

Bank Rate maintained at 0.1% - September 2020 The Bank Rate maintained at 0.1% - September 2020 The Bank of England’s Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) sets monetary policy to meet the 2% inflation target, and in a way that helps to sustain growth and employment. In that context, its challenge at present is to respond to the economic and financial impact of the Covid-19 pandemic. At its meeting ending on 16 September 2020, the MPC voted unanimously to maintain Bank Rate at 0.1%. The Committee voted unanimously for the Bank of England to continue with its existing programmes of UK government bond and sterling non-financial investment-grade corporate bond purchases, financed by the issuance of central bank reserves, maintaining the target for the total stock of these purchases at £745 billion.

If you are thinking of moving house - now is the t If you are thinking of moving house - now is the time to do it! Stamp Duty Holiday Explained The chancellor has announced a temporary holiday on stamp duty on the first £500,000 of all property sales in England and Northern Ireland. The tax threshold has been temporarily raised until 31 March 2021 in order to boost the property market and help buyers struggling because of the coronavirus crisis. The changes have come in with immediate effect. What is stamp duty? #Stampduty is a tax paid by people buying properties, although it varies slightly across the UK. In England and Northern Ireland buyers pay Stamp Duty Land Tax. In Scotland it is Land and Buildings Transaction Tax, while in Wales buyers pay Land Transaction Tax. The amount handed to the government depends on where you are in the UK, and the price of the property. The changes to stamp duty will only apply to buyers in England and Northern Ireland. So what has changed? The government has temporarily increased the stamp duty threshold to £500,000 for property sales in England and Northern Ireland, until 31 March 2021. This means anyone completing on a main residence costing up to £500,000 between 8 July 2020 and 31 March 2021 will not pay any stamp duty at all, and more expensive properties will only be taxed on their value above that amount. This will save buyers as much as £15,000, if they are buying a property of £500,000 or more. The move is aimed at helping buyers who have taken a financial hit because of the coronavirus crisis. It is also intended to boost a property market hit by lockdown. According to the Halifax, house prices have fallen for four months in a row.

Rishi Sunak’s first Budget took place against th Rishi Sunak’s first Budget took place against the backdrop of the global outbreak of COVID-19. Not surprisingly the UK’s response to this was the initial focus – providing some much needed short term financial measures in the current uncertainty, from ensuring the NHS has sufficient budget to cope, to extending statutory sick pay rules that affect millions of workers. The new Chancellor set out a Budget which supports the government’s ambition for a ‘fair and sustainable tax’ system. Many rumours didn’t quite come to pass, we did not see an overhaul of inheritance tax, scrapping of Entrepreneurs Relief or an announcement of a wide spread review of pensions tax relief. But as expected we did see an increase in the Tapered annual allowance, and the good news was it was significantly more than expected, saving many from significant tax bills and the hassle of carrying out complex calculations.

There's been an emergency cut in interest rates in There's been an emergency cut in interest rates in the face of #coronavirus by 0.5% to 0.25% - the joint lowest in history. From the Bank of England's press conference, the following: "Activity is likely to weaken materially in the coming months" in the wake of coronavirus, says Governor Mark Carney. Smaller companies will be worst hit. "The reduction in bank rate will help bolster confidence at this difficult time," he adds. Andrew Bailey, who will soon replace Mark Carney as governor says the Financial Policy Committee's decision to ease capital requirements will be followed by "monitoring" to make sure banks lend. The pound slumped 0.5% against the euro to €1.136 and was little changed against the dollar at $1.289. The cut in rates makes the UK less attractive as a place to deposit #money by foreign investors seeking cash deposits or bonds. #Share #markets reacted positively, albeit after a choppy week. The #FTSE 100 rose 1.4% in early #trading today. The key target of this move is the cashflow of small and medium-sized businesses, which could be hit by a combination of slumping demand, trade difficulties and staff absence. The Bank and Treasury agree that this will be a temporary shock. The aim, therefore, is to prevent unnecessary permanent economic scars. Alongside Budget measures, it is designed as a bridge beyond the virus. To be clear, coronavirus is unique and highly unpredictable. There is a fundamental problem of people and businesses not being able to function because of the measures to contain the virus. The message from the Bank is that the banking system is fully padded up to help businesses get through this.
