Cheshire - money (eg pension funds) has to go somewhere and places like UU are as safe as anywhere. Sometimes boring is good. Having said that I will revert to mostly cash by year end before the music stops.
My main focus is bearish GBP which has provided very large gains the past few months. All allocations/positions remain open as of this moment.

I too would vote for Boris over Mr Hunt for the main reason that Mr Johnson is a Brexiteer and not a remainer in Mrs Mays cloths like Mr Hunt is, yes Mr Hunt might be coming over as a nice sincere guy but I don’t trust him or the people around him to deliver us Brexit on October 31st 2019, so vote Boris

The Conservative leadership election

By JOHNREDWOOD | Published: JULY 5, 2019

I will be voting for Boris when my ballot paper arrives. He has given a clearer pledge to get us out of the EU by 31 October than Jeremy Hunt. This is vital for the future of our democracy and for the recovery of the Conservative party.

He has pledged tax cuts for individuals earners and home buyers and more spending on local schools and the police. In contrast Jeremy has promised a further expensive large cut in Corporation tax for large companies, where we are more competitive . It is our tax rates for individuals and taxes on enterprise and property ownership that are holding us back and harming the revenues.

If I needed any more reasons to choose Boris rather than Jeremy, the issue of fox hunting would supply it. Jeremy Hunt announced he would want a further Commons vote on fox hunting and implied he supported fox hunting. I have no wish to see this divisive issue re opened in Parliament. It is very unlikely Parliament would vote a different way to last time, but it would stir up strong emotions on both sides. Mr Hunt then appeared to back down rapidly under fire, saying he did not intend to introduce such a motion were he to become Prime Minister and was merely reasserting the position from Mrs May’s failed Manifesto of 2017. This made his position worse.

I look forward to our early exit from the EU without signing the completely unacceptable Withdrawal Treaty. I want a Brexit bonus budget to spend the money we save. We should stop all contributions to the EU from 1 November onwards.

Boris Johnson: I will make Britain the greatest place on Earth

Boris Johnson has vowed to make Britain “the greatest place on Earth” as he says he will unite the country by delivering Brexit.

“It’s time for a bit of confidence, a bit of self-belief, it’s time to stop being so negative about what the UK can do and that’s how we’ll get a great [Brexit] deal.”

Boris Johnson is Mr Brexit. Elect him PM and give him a chance to deliver it

This leadership election is special to The Telegraph readership for two reasons. First, most – if not all – of those voting are also our readers, and while that’s true of many Conservative contests, this is a rare occasion when they are picking not just a party leader but a Prime Minister. They are looking for a PM who can fulfil a very clear task: to honour the referendum and deliver Brexit.

Second, one of the candidates is a man our readership knows very well. In 1989, this newspaper sent a 24-year-old Boris Johnson to Brussels as a correspondent, and readers were able to follow his progress as he grew bemused, frustrated and exasperated with an EU bureaucracy hell-bent on wrapping Britain...

Anybody watched Ann Widdecombe speech video at EU assembly?...Farage sitting next to her was laughing his head off...worth watching...

Anyone see Boris making sausages earlier and wearing them like a mayoral chain. Brilliant Boris, what a stunt. Look forward to seeing him at PMQ's.

Alphorn: off topic. Seen you follow UU which seem to have bounced...threat of Corbyn and his henchman receding or is something else +ve for UU and other threatened utilities.

Brexiters need to earn respect. At the moment I don’t see the qualities that deserve it.

Theresa May needs to relax her planned clampdown on migrant workers post-Brexit to avoid destroying the construction sector and any chance it has of hitting government house-building targets, a Tory Brexiteer-led group of MPs has concluded

Ann Widdecombe speaks the truth. Free ourselves from the horrendous EU, like the 17.4 million voted for.

Our MEP's right to carry out the 'turn their backs' protest. They shouldn't be there now anyway and they wouldn't be if Parliament had respected the vote and got us out of the EU by 29/03/19.

Now we have seen a bit more of Hunt it is obvious he is unsuitable for high office.
He is all over the place and talking drivel.
Glad he has been found out in time.

Against that he is trying to win the votes of a group of cranks and eccentrics.

Taking back control ?..... "orders from the US".

Bolton: Iran oil tanker detention is excellent news, and he welcomed the move by British Royal Marines.

The United States sees the detention of a tanker with Iranian oil on Thursday by British authorities in Gibraltar as "excellent news".

Spanish Foreign Minister Josep Borrell, said that the vessel was seized on orders from the US, as it violated European Union sanctions against Syria.

"orders from the US".... European Union sanctions?

"economic fallout"...

Jeremy Hunt stated on Thursday that he would advocate for tax cuts "similar to those [enacted] by the United States President Donald Trump."
Hunt said that the reduction in the corporate tax rate would produce some £20 billion for social services per year.

On the other hand, ……..
in case an adequate Brexit deal wasn't reached, funds would be needed to alleviate the economic fallout, so the "priorities such as social care" would be built-up slower.

Hunt said that the lawmakers must respect the will of their constituents concerning Britain's departure from the bloc.
He believes he can negotiate the Brexit deal good for the UK,(he can not)…
but, he did not deny it would be a challenging task, and the "ultimate test” of British democracy."
"We can make a brilliant success of Brexit." Hunt concluded.

Despite..."economic fallout"...?

If you were from where I'm from then you would know
That I gotta get mine in a big black truck
You can get yours in a '64

This is how we do it
It's Thursday night, and I feel alright
The party is here on the West side
So I reach for my 40 and I turn it up
Designated driver take the keys to my truck
Hit the shore 'cause I'm faded
Honeys in the street say, "Minerve, yo we made it!"
It feels so good in my place tonight
The summertime skirts and the guys in Kani
All the gang bangers forgot about the drive-by
You gotta get your groove on, before you go get paid
So tip up your cup and throw your hands up
And let me hear the party say

I'm kinda buzzed and it's all because
Minerve does it like nobody does
To all my thread chimps you got much flavour
Let's flip the track, bring the old Minerve back
