Minimum wage and NI costs will be passed on to customers, warns UK’s biggest supplier

✍️ Tom Stevenson writes: In Ernest Hemingway’s The Sun Also Rises, someone is asked how he went bankrupt. “Two ways,” he replies. “Gradually, then suddenly.” That’s a good description of the way this week’s AI-focused market shock emerged.

Chasing a lower tax bill runs the risk of overpaying and a slower sale

🏠 Home to the great Romantic poets and #England's largest lakes and tallest peaks, Cumbria is a dream place to live for millions of people. You would assume the area’s natural beauty would put it out of reach for those of more modest means – but a new Telegraph Money #analysis reveals that might not be true.
