"just the same as when we finally got rid of Bliar"

lol mr.e...we haven't got rid of him yet, at least he doesn't think we have - same as his chum Major lol.

It depends upon how the money is spent - buying companies, properties, laundromat to name a few. Next UK rate move may be down???
(On the GBP it may be people locking in gains?)

Caroline actually Alp. Why is the £ struggling against the dollar? I expected a whoosh, with all the pent up billions waiting to be invested. The UK will be seen as stable by the likes of Moody's, just as soon as Boris' cunning plan starts to bare fruits. As money flows in, inflation will creep above 2% and interest rates will rise accordingly - happy days for banks.

good post mitchy, but you say"Brexit isn't a slam dunk when 75% of MP's are against it. Boris may be ousted now that he has served his purpose."

The MP's and the fishwife and Europe will now do as they are told.
The City view is that the EU and the US will be soon ....very soon...competing for the UK's trade favours fast.
Boris has one chance this is it.
Who is going to oust him? This is the tory party remember.He has single-handedly saved it from extinction.

The patience of a saint. Don't tell me that your name is Monica? ;)

With PPI completely behind us from 2021 onwards, I would expect another 1.5p on the dividend payments or an extra few billion available for buy backs. Patience required for income investors - I still need 84p to break even on my core holding!

Labour leadership contender Emily Thornberry accused of calling northern voters 'stupid'






Anna Mikhailova, deputy political editor Christopher Hope, chief political correspondent
16 DECEMBER 2019 • 8:08AM



One of the MPs tipped to replace Jeremy Corbyn as Labour leader has been accused of calling northern voters "stupid" in a row over who was to blame for the party’s election defeat.

Emily Thornberry, who represents a Remain-voting constituency next to Mr Corbyn's in north London, is alleged to have told a fellow MP in a Leave-voting seat: "I'm glad my constituents aren't as stupid as yours".

The claim, made by defeated Don Valley Labour MP Caroline Flint, was quickly denied by Ms Thornberry but it fuelled a growing row over Corbyn loyalists blaming the public for last week’s historic defeat.

Senior Labour figures accused the party leadership of “supreme arrogance” for suggesting the result was “the voters’ fault” and abandoning working class constituents.

Labour MP Wes Streeting told The Telegraph: "When you suffer an election defeat on a scale like this, you can't just put it down to hostile media, Tory lies or - worst of all - blaming the voters.”

Specsavers is so last year Alp.

[alphorn] 16/12/2019 09:39

Really max - are you hoping for a present from Specsavers this Christmas. ;))

[maxk] 16/12/2019 09:29

You should know Alp!

Freddie - your waffly reply 'It will take whatever time it takes' is no surprise.

Be brave once, if you can, and take a view. There are almost no posters here who stick their necks out. A wafflers paradise; entertainment only.

sends a shiver down your spine to read some of the
financial advise given out on the week end press

investors have to accept a discount on the value of their investments
if they want to take money out at short notice, outrageous !

fast forward 12 months crackin rise in Lloyds

[cheshire pete] 16/12/2019 08:35

maxk: I hope Boris does streamline things. I recall when Cameron got in there were headlines like 'Bonfire of the Quangos' but not sure to what extent it actually happened. Don't know if it was ever queried under FOI...will google.

Mail on Sunday expose of major logistical problems at Lloyds - with building list of complaints inspite of significant compensation paid to date - Directors need to be told to ensure staff pay attention to detail - OK maybe most other banks are as bad but not good news - The $64K question "Will the regulators do any more - if at all - than a weak tap on the wrist" As a shareholder directors need to be grilled about very sloppy internal staff training and management controls (imo)

The Queens speechBy JOHNREDWOOD | Published: DECEMBER 16, 2019Today I am giving you the opportunity to send in your ideas of what legislation the government should propose for the new ParliamentWe know there will be priority for Brexit legislation , and the government has decided to bind itself in law to increases in NHS spending.I would like to see a Constitutional Reform Bill. This would repeal the Fixed Terms Parliament Act which did so much damage in the last Parliament. An Act designed to keep elections to one every five years has instead allowed three in four years. It could legislate to reduce the number of MPs by 50 as promised before. It should limit the Speakers powers by requiring a government moved Money Resolution and Queens consent to legislation.I would like a simpler and lower taxes bill to incorporate the various tax measures I have proposed.I want to see better protection for armed services personnel against legal challenge, once cleared by an enquiry.I favour new legislation on the BBC to decriminalise the licence fee.

It doesn't matter what the share price is to traders , Lloyd's has been dutifully supplying trading opportunities with Brexit uncertainty. They have to recognize Friday has alleviated some of this uncertainty, don't forget were moving onto quarterly dividends which will should help steady the ship as well. Slowly all the ammunition the traders need has been spent or confiscated, Expect EU/ German Banks to be next thing deployed by the traders.

SR: are you short on LLOY? Sounds like you could be.

It looks as though Boris is thinking of doing something about foreign aid. If he does - cuts it in half, say - he'll be one of the most popular PMs ever.
