Image source: Getty Images How much would a UK investor need in a tax-efficient Stocks and Shares ISA to retire comfortably?

Realistically, an income-focused investor would need around half a million pounds to achieve a minimal dividend income. Based on an average 5% yield, that could return £25,000…
Image source: Getty Images The Greatland Gold (LSE:GGP) share price has been one of this year’s best performers. Since the start of 2025, it’s risen over 160%.

Not just engines Rolls-Royce’s small modular nuclear reactor (SMR) business is part of its New Markets segment.…
