"That's bonkers, what has her resignation got to do with the deal?"



Michael

this is not the main deal but the frame or foundation the deal will be completed. Brexetiers want her to go and get control of the second main part of the Brexit. The most important part and save the day.

Your 'overweight' all right.

G2 I was playing DA on returning pro brexit mps. I think that is going to have an impact on some areas on both Labour and Tory voters but not all. It will be inters3ting to see of if the electorate are actually that bothered or just tired of the whole thing. As a party would you put your election hopes on brexit policy or wider polocies. From a personal point of view working with geographical close ne8ghbours has to be a better outcome, but the whole process has opened my eyes to the Brussels system and I am afraid the old adage power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely seems more and more applicable. As with most things though, the tighter you hold things the more slips through your fingers, I thi k the Eu is at that point. The mess of Italy Spain and Greece is an unsustainable burden , by financially kicking countries that are down to promote your own agendas can only last so long... I am not against a free trade zone and collaboration between countries but think the eu agenda has already gone too far. They just need to wind it back a little, and maybe the scope of the exercise should be discussed amongst it members and people rather than it being steered with a slightly clandistined agenda.

Accidental exit is quite possible. I am overweight UK domestics because some stocks were too cheap to ignore.

Alp, why do you want the views of a pathetic individual, me, a fruit and nut case?I'm not interested in any pathetic individual's views, I fail to see why you are.I won't be asking for your views on anything btw.

[alphorn] 28/3/2019 09:32

Minerve - "Some have obviously written-off the chance of No Deal happening".

The accidental exit? Hence my skewed allocation.

[m4rtinu] 28/3/2019 09:28

Whilst I despise UKIP/ Farage (spit!!), I do accept that under a more democratic system of proportional representation they would, and indeed should, get more seats. And it would break the antiquated and self-preserving 2 party system. The dozy Clegg let UK down on that.

Also, I would propose free votes on everything. It is impossible for individuals to completely agree with everything their party puts forward.

For the record, I am old Labour not Lib Dem.

Once Brexit is totally completed and off the front pages, then we may see buy backs being increased. All the political uncertainties on this matter will be complete. Lets not forget that a few weeks ago Lloyds was at 50p due to the Brexit issue and then moved ahead as the markets thought No Deal was off the table. Is there still a possibility of a lower share price in the short term and that's why the buy backs are being limited to 3/4 million a day instead of 10/15 million. Just asking.

Most of the Tory party Hard-Brexit contingent originally sought their objectives believing May as PM gave them their best opportunity. As they now see their choices narrowing, particularly after parliament's vote to not want a No Deal and parliament attempting to take control, they believe their best chance now is to remove May in hope that she is replaced with a pro-Brexit PM so the future relationship after WA expiry becomes more in their favour. Some have obviously written-off the chance of No Deal happening.

If I recall correctly LLOY said spending the lot would equate to about 2-3p on NAV.

[alphorn] 28/3/2019 09:23

ST - be bold for a change - what are you doing in the markets? Sitting on your hands can be ok too. Be constructive. Just try it.

[grahamite2] 28/3/2019 09:23

1carus, it's difficult to be optimistic about the chances of Nigel's new Brexit Party for precisely the reason you say. But why should we have "returning pro brexit mps predominantly on the Tory side"? Local Conservative associations are incandescent over the fraud and betrayal of remoaners and already, before the ultimate outcome is even known, deselection proceedings have started on a large scale.

This tragic fiasco could even have positive results if it means the Conservative Party once again becomes a genuinely conservative party.

[alphorn] 28/3/2019 09:20

ST - have you become over sensitive all of a sudden?

Are you still smarting over these months of being a fruit and nut? I think that it was you?
(That is as far as my swearing goes).

[optomistic] 28/3/2019 09:16

Thanks for the figures gaffer...I knew that 3.6mill/day was nowhere near enough to buy 1.75 bill/pounds worth.
If they are instructed to spend the lot that should boost the share price

[alphorn] 28/3/2019 09:10

ST - you are one pathetic individual; and getting worse.

You are in your dreams that I am a 'Brexit casualty'. You are one of the people that whine and whine about other posters yet, yourself, you offer nothing.

I agree with the Jacko's of this world that we are likely to see some rebound in GBP and some lowly priced UK shares (refer other threads). As posted yesterday I remain skewed to downside protection at this moment. Sometimes though the insurance is not required. I understand that cost/reward profile.

[1carus] 28/3/2019 09:05

What is the mechanism option for a GE now. I am lost. Is it downn to JC to call it or/and the government. Also, if there was a GE what do you think the chances are of a split parliament where returning pro brexit mps predominantly on the Tory side form a majority with possibly a Farage led party. Would farage led party split the Labour or the Tory vote the most and would it be big enough this time around to take some seats. ( remember Ukip got more votes than the snp in the last election but since they were distributed they had no proportional voice) kinda thinking should mps be careful what they wish for?

ShyTott ..782 - Perfect, and recommended reading :)

Last night the speaker indicated that the business Secretary in this afternoon's business session could be questioned regarding MV 3 and Ledshom may give an idea if Friday will be MV3 day.

Abject incompetence. The worst PM in living memory. Utter failure to deliver a withdrawal agreement that comes anywhere close to delivering a leave outcome. And she is looking for a legacy in a WA that will humiliate her country. Go now, and good riddance.

[xxxxxy] 28/3/2019 08:03

May has to resign as she is a failure. Obvious. Embarrassing to ask.

[grahamite2] 28/3/2019 08:03

It's all bonkers! Why are they baying for her blood now, when they had the chance to boot her out months ago?

[xxxxxy] 28/3/2019 08:01
