Renewed - I quite agree!

PC - IMO it is right to raise issues over trade with KSA. Improve your acceptance of human rights or say goodbye to fighter jets. We can be a force for good, as well as trade.

How can we put Bloody Sunday squaddies in the dock for murder, yet tell the IRA they can get away with it?

By
Boris Johnson


What signal does it send out to our brave armed forces?

We cannot yet know for certain whether charges will indeed be brought against the four ex-paras who were at Bloody Sunday in Londonderry in 1972. But if it is true – as seems very likely – that on March 14 they are charged with a number of offences, including murder, then I believe there will be a storm of utter fury from the public. And as that storm rages, some objections to the prosecution will be good; some will be frankly less good. It is important, therefore, to focus on what is truly nauseating in this affair.

Here is the new PPI.

The UK economy has been boosted over the past 15+ years by claims going directly into individuals' pockets - like a tax refund.
First, the Endowment scandal (est £25bn), then PPI (est £40bn) and now car finance.

Some car buyers are being overcharged by more than £1,000 when they take out a loan to buy a car, the UK's financial watchdog has warned.
The Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) said the industry practice of allowing dealers to set their own interest rates was costing consumers £300m a year.
Dealers overcharge to boost their commission, the FCA's investigation concluded.
It said "we will act to address harm caused by this business model".
The regulator launched its investigation into the car finance market in April 2017 after there was a rapid surge in consumer credit led by car dealership finance.
At the time, it said it was concerned about a lack of transparency and potential conflicts of interest.

Questions - who will pay out these claims and who will take the losses? Will buyers be able to cancel their finance agreements as void???

'FUNDAMENTAL REASONS WHY MRS MAY’S WITHDRAWAL AGREEMENT IS AN ABOMINATION

1. From 29 March the UK will be under the de facto jurisdiction of a group of 27 foreign powers, with no ability to veto laws or procedures affecting our country and its citizens
2. The EU27 can make decisions in Council behind closed doors, with no published minutes, which would profoundly affect British businesses, citizens, and the economy
3. The EU27 could even impose new taxes on the UK, and Parliament could do nothing about it
4. The EU27 could cripple the vitally-important UK financial sector, with new taxes and regulations
5. A major part of the Agreement (the Northern Irish Protocol) locks the UK into a permanent customs union with the EU, with no unilateral right of the UK to terminate
6. The Northern Ireland Protocol requires the Province to obey existing and new Single Market rules, with no say over them, and effectively splits off Northern Ireland into being a colony of the EU and the Republic, thereby breaking the United Kingdom in two
7. The UK will have no right to do international free trade deals – a key economic benefit of Brexit – because it must stick to protectionist EU tariffs. The British public cannot benefit from an independent trade policy resulting in much cheaper imported goods, nor can our exporters thrive
8. Any new EU trade agreements would require the UK to match the new lower tariffs, but the countries involved would not be required to reciprocate in respect of the UK
9. The UK would remain under the jurisdiction of the ECJ until at least the end of 2020 and the agreement makes provision to extend this until 2022
10. In some parts of the law, British courts would have to obey the ECJ for over 100 years – the lifetimes of as yet unborn children
11. The UK would not be a truly sovereign nation in the lifetimes of all reading this
12. The Agreement means the UK paying at least £39 billion, despite there being no legal obligation to pay anything like that amount, and with no new UK-EU trade deal guaranteed in return
13. The final amount taken from British taxpayers would be decided by the EU, and the UK would have no say because the ECJ would rule on this
14. Other aspects of the Agreement and Political Declaration would adversely affect the UK’s autonomy in fishing, defence, foreign policy, competition law, state aid and many other areas of life
15. The Withdrawal Agreement and Political Declaration together lock the UK into a continuing and subservient relationship with the EU, agreeing to match and “build upon” current arrangements, giving away money, sovereignty, laws, and even decisions on the very composition of the United Kingdom itself.

Dividend consensus

Before the Results, the consensus totals for this year and next were 3.50 and 3.70 respectively. Both last week and this week, analysts have trimmed them a little, to 3.44 and 3.65.

I've seen some daft comment on here about the dividend going to 6p. In your dreams, as long as the bank sticks with a policy of suppressing dividend growth in favour of buybacks.

If the report from the Telegraph is true, presumably it makes March 12 more likely for the MV, rather than this week, probably followed by an extension:

The Attorney General has abandoned attempts to secure a hard time-limit or unilateral exit mechanism from the Irish backstop, The Telegraph has been told.

Ministers briefed on Geoffrey Cox's approach said those aims, which represent the central demands of Eurosceptics, are considered too "blunt" and have been rejected by the European Union.

Some Cabinet ministers are already resigned to the Prime Minister losing a second meaningful vote on her deal amid concerns that changes to the backstop secured by Mr Cox will not be sufficient to win round Brexiteers.
