The future of the UK’s combat air capability is under scrutiny as the Ministry of Defence (MoD) considers the export procurement of new Typhoon jets against the potential cessation of Typhoon final assembly at BAE Systems’ Warton facility, and the retention of skilled workers for the Global Combat Air Programme (GCAP). |

Where you emigrating to? |
Eyes are wide open. Watch and learn when it all comes tumbling down.Meanwhile, must say BAe had a good day. Long may it continue. Good luck all. Make hay whilst the sun shines? |

AVON a good bet as Trump and Vance will need to wear their bullet proof suites. |
Agreed.An artificial boost (which is why our GDP per capital is on the way down).My mate is convinced we'll have to call the IMF in but I can never see it happening. Sadly.The only way we'll make meaningful cuts is if it's forced upon us. Tories/Labour simply incapable of doing it. They can't even control the civil service let alone our borders (or anything else). |
Think youll find all these "Non economical" migrants are given plenty of money, in addition to "free housing", free NHS, free Dentistry, free education etc etc.
Their free housing and "money to spend" comes from money printing
Their spending, the rent the govt pays to the "landlord" of these properties they get housed in ALL go back into the economy, boosting GDP
So not smoke, mirrors or BS you'll find if you open your eyes |
Opening the borders to non economically participating migrants REDUCES GDP, not increases it. Smoke, mirrors and BS. |
Chief,
Indeed.
We are financially in dire straits due to mismanagement by the Uniparty since 90s.
Public sector cuts are coming (when the money runs out)
See the US. They're trying to slash the overpaid inefficient federal workforce, many of whom are workshy.
This is coming to UK too.
UK national debt position is unsustainable(which is why theyve opened the border and over seen a massive surge in countrys populace - to artificially boost notional GDP so as to maintain the Debt:GDP ratio at semi manageable levels)
At some point these cuts will be forced on most nations. |
No way we can get Defence spending to 5% any time soon. Could be easy though if debt repayments didn't take up 100B a year. Can you imagine Labour making hefty cuts to public sector pay rises/pensions, housing benefits etc, to fund defence increases. Nope, me neither. |
Think the rise today due to Starmer's commitments to increase UK defence spending .... and I suspect he is trying to take a leadership position to encourage Europe to increase spending, and also to mediate after the Trump / Zelensky spat.
Jack - I'm out at 1650p today...also hold QQ. CNC and AVON so over-exposed to defence which is the main reason for the sale. But I did add to QQ. again at same time.
IMV BAE share price is up with events based on valuation and may consolidate from here for a while - meanwhile QQ. is IMV undervalued but will still be a beneficary. |

QQ. good call TNX |
Wowza. Big jump. Wish I'd seen first thing. Would Shirley have been tempted to offload more. Let's see if 16 quid can be reached again... |
JPMorgan raises BAE Systems price target to 1,725 (1,630) pence - 'overweight' |
BAE Systems shares rocket in defence stock rally after Ukraine aid talks |
Incredible that folk who had access to defence spending news all weekend then act surprised that defence companies show extremely strong share prices come Monday morning.
Every country pretty much increasing defence spending. BAE makes everything an army, navy etc need. |
Probable Defence spending predictions in reaction to Trump/NATO/Ukraine announcements, I strongly suspect. And about time too! Well overdue. |
Why the Stella rise ?? |
Dassault Aviation in France seeing its share price match that of BA.So market assuming a no fly zone in Ukraine and European action |
Trump arguing was after marker close |
Cor, thats a jump! |
Yes this seems more than that. |
Wow, there must be something more surely, the war concerns have been there on Friday. Mind you , QQ is up a lot too so presumably is . |
