More implosion as the former Conservative party leader Iain Duncan Smith steps up the pressure on Theresa May by urging her cabinet to resign en masse if the revised EU withdrawal bill is published on Friday.


If the Tories were a football team there would be 22 players all trying to score in the same (own) goal. Just unbelievable - embarrassing is an understatement.

Totally agree, they despise the manual worker / tradesman and if you didn't attend private school or study the likes of historical antiquities at Oxford or Cambridge then you're seen as an expendable moron who's really just an inconvenience........

Not so sure jordaggy - it may well be in the price.

Who knows?!

If Farage comes romping home, we could see 55 tomorrow - uncertainty abounds and you know what the markets think about uncertainty.

I dont think highlighting other €U countries bending/breaking the rules is playing the blame game. It's simply pointing out that our lot (useless as you say) are not doing anything about it.

And it's far too late now anyway, the goose is cooked!

Indeed law, timing is next to impossible with so much going on...added to the fact that that there are 2.5 million retail investors. Most buy too early or sell to soon. I have £25k divi to re-invest, so I'll buy 5k chunks on the way down...but quite fancy vod, av and cna too...decisions decisions.

[ladeside] 23/5/2019 11:19

You're completely missing my point. If other EU nations are breaking state aid rules and we don't complain about it or join them, than I don't blame them for standing up for their workers and businesses, however I DO BLAME the UK government for doing nothing about it or following suit.

As always, people are trying to blame others for all their ills when the real villains / weaklings are much closer to home.........

jordaggy, heading south, keep your powder dry for 52p-54p, me? I got my timing wrong yet again!

[jordaggy] 23/5/2019 11:01

I'm tempted to buy yet another big fat chunk for my SIPP...should I wait for 55? perhaps I just buy smaller chunks on the way down...decisions decisions - the market is looking crashy ...

[hernando2] 23/5/2019 10:45

So you can't point me to any specific state aid where we breach the EU rules?

It's just a generic everyone does it?

[alphorn] 23/5/2019 10:34

mm2 - expats are traitors but you also have a problem with immigrants - engage your brain. You want more or less residents???

Unfiltered Poika for a second - great example - more interested in the Netherlands than anything else. Lol

"Off to Zurich now - looks a good day - keep imploding".

Well done - you have exceeded my expectations and there is more to come no doubt.

……...230;………...in the meantime I see that it is still everyone else's fault.

Can't wait to see who is to blame once Brexit has happened.

Many of the posters here must be ex-British Rail - the wrong type of leaves etc.

Brilliant post maxkI read an article yesterday quoting that since the start of Britain producing steel in the 1800s to current day, it took China three years to produce the same amount. Unbelievable......

[hernando2] 23/5/2019 09:44

I don't recall any ignoring of state aid...could you point mean the right direction, the bailing out of the banks was all signed off as far as i am aware.

Perhaps i have missed some

[ladeside] 23/5/2019 09:42

The UK ignore the state aid rules when it suits them as we all well know. If it was the Finance sector you could rest assured that the bail out would have already happened without batting an eyelid.

That said, in this case I don't believe a bail out should happen in order to protect a foreign hedgefund (or any hedgefund for that matter), they should be taken to task and made pay back all the money that they've taken out the company since they purchased it for a £1.

Filthy thieving barstewards..........

More volatile than almost anything on AIM. Why I bought these for portfolio stability I’ll never know. :(

Note the date...also that I lost patience long ago.

Watching paint?

Goes to show just how useless Broker targets are, probably why they've stopped issuing them.

Pricing in euro election results. Already trimmed lloyds but will hold the rest for now.
