This Is Money: Is it finally time for the UK stock market to shine?
Amid Donald Trump's tariff madness, there may be a silver lining for British investors. With American exceptionalism swiftly being replaced with American erraticism, the UK is attracting the eye of international investors. They see the FTSE — and its European counterparts — as a relative bastion of sanity and somewhere that a rules-based trading system can ride out the storm away from a US government seemingly intent on tearing up the rulebook and throwing the pieces in the air to see where they land. But this isn't the first occasion that investors have heard the siren call of a revived UK stockmarket, only to have their hopes dashed on the rocks, so will it be different this time? Georgie Frost and Simon Lambert discuss whether UK shares will be a tariff winner — and where else investors can turn to make a profit. Plus, how much should you have in savings at different ages and are NS&I's new bonds or Cash ISA table-topping rates from savings apps a way to get there. And finally, a question from a reader who asks what they can do about a neighbour who borrowed their lawnmower and broke it... and what our consumer rights lawyer's answer reveals about Georgie.
