Saw the interviews, what a shambles.
Hunt stands no chance but Boris could bring chaos.
Why does Johnson promise things that he can't deliver.

BBC is a lefty metropolitan pile of S,h!t.e. I cannot wait for them to be privatised.

@John Fuller

Abolished not privatised.

@Roger Hudson @John Fuller Indeed. Who would pay hard cash for that bucket of unionised poo?

Alp...if all currencies fall in sync then any reason to defend...

How do you get dramatic rate cuts on a 0.75% base?


Meaningless to ordinary businesses and retail customers. Even mortgage borrowers wont see anything.


Do inflation figures mean nothing anymore?

[alphorn] 12/7/2019 20:43

Others argue that rates may have to be used to defend GBP in that scenario. Not long to wait.

Bloody classic. Wish I could like that more than once.

He couldnt afford the pay drop.

Minerve's pretty smart, wonder if he'd be interested.

[alphorn] 12/7/2019 16:12

He is probably most happy too. He is/was IMO quite reasonable - who will follow is the question.

[grahamite2] 12/7/2019 16:09

Who cares about Hammond? He's got, what, 11 days now?

All the work of clever economists. Why do people go to universty for three years and learn nothing of use in this discipline.

To see a return on your money buy assets in short or limited supply such as property, selected vintage vehicles and aircraft. Do not under any circumstances give it to banks and building societies who will give you zilch in return.

Indeed bank over regulation, lending restrictions, high margins and fees and restrictive terms are restricting lending in the UK. Killing perfectly sensible investments and developments and damaging the economy.

Is Halfwit Hammond (and pusher of project fear so running down the economy) going to do anything about his daft pension rules that are doing so much harm particularly in the NHS. With endless cancellations and delays for patients. Or his insane stamp duty rates, insane landlord interest rules, absurdly high and complex tax system, daft bank lending restrictions …. Or is he just going to leave the mess for the next person in a couple of weeks time? He is surpassing even John Major for gross incompetence as Chancellor.

cheshire - well done. My trade horizon is around 3-6mths and not a frequent trader.

There are other things to do and just back from a blast and lunch on the lake. The weather is usually amazing here and the scenery is beautiful. Better than any trade!
Have a good weekend.

Momentum announces drive to help Labour members deselect MPs

Exclusive: Group says process will clear way for MPs who are more diverse and working-class


Jessica Elgot Chief political correspondent

Fri 12 Jul 2019 10.00 BST






Momentum is to launch a nationwide campaign to encourage members to begin deselection processes for Labour MPs, arguing it can open the door for more diverse, younger, working-class MPs.

The grassroots group said it would support rank-and-file members across the country to begin the process of challenging their sitting MP under Labour’s trigger ballot system.

The system, which was changed last September to make it easier for local party members to challenge MPs, allows members to vote on whether they would like their sitting MP to face a full selection process or be automatically reselected.

If more than a third of local party branches or more than a third of affiliate branches are in favour of open selection, a reselection process will take place where other candidates can challenge the MPs for the seat.

Those planning to drop dead in more than 2 but less than 7 years should note that there is talk of AIM stocks ceasing to be considered business assets.

There is no challenge because you can’t have 100% winners. Someone has to lose. If 77% lose then that is pensions and savings that are being lost. That increases the chances of more being dependent on the state. So, as I said, we shouldn’t be encouraging people to do these things. Most people have a deluded sense of ability and how much time you need to be successful.

Don’t attempt to try and come across as a wise head on these things, you are embarrassing yourself. Best keep your mouth shut and stick to what you do know, which is what exactly?
