LLOY is buying back circa 200M per month

Means from March 2019 it can do this for 9 months under existing authority or till end of this November.

If a hard Brexit is the outcome one would expect accelerated buybacks in November and the latter half of October IMO

Boris learned from Mays time. Needs to be authoritarian. Centre only assures a short stint and has no impact. So whatever time he serves , should be highly effective

Brexit for sure anyway. That's a done deal already in my book.

Looking forward to seeing his national plans in action. 20,000 new cops on the street is a great start.

I'm sorry. You are deluded. Only chimps will forget dirty work like that. It is actually going to empower anti-Tory sentiment.

Boris's new Cabinet, it was John McDonnell's turn on Peston last night to hail it as the "most right wing Cabinet in my lifetime" and predict that we'll see some "pretty hardline neo-liberal policies come out". High praise indeed from Britain's most left-wing ever Shadow Chancellor. McDonnell astutely notes that they will be "differentiated certainly from the Labour Party"...Whether it really suits Corbyn "down to the ground" is another matter, he may end up finding out sooner than he really wants. New Leader of the Commons Jacob Rees-Mogg told Peston a general election was not a "government objective" but was "impossible to rule out" given the Parliamentary arithmetic. The way Boris ruthlessly stamped his authority on the Cabinet yesterday suggests he is more than prepared to face down any potential rebels. With an election if necessary...McDonnell couldn't even say Labour would definitely back Remain, meanwhile Corbyn continues to wander round aimlessly calling for a general electionnfids Marxist leadership may be in for a sharp shock now they're no longer getting an easy ride against May's muddled centrism...Order order

Minerve once the exit is done, its done. Country will unite even if with begrudgery.

[minerve 2] 25/7/2019 09:07

Does Boris understand that the 'D' and the 'U' in his plans are mutually exclusive?

You are not going to deliver a No Deal and then unite the country.

His superficial, faux eccentric charm might work on the simple folk and a few vulnerable women with self-esteem issues but it isn't going to work with Remainers.

Here is the question. The financial markets. Are they betting on a deal done by October 31st?

Many benchmarks out there. I would suggest they are.

What u all think via market bets?

I should say out by...

Dunno if an actual deal

Congratulations to Boris

By JOHNREDWOOD | Published: JULY 25, 2019

Boris Johnson yesterday became Prime Minister, following his good election win in the Conservative leadership contest.

He campaigned consistently and strongly to get us out of the EU by 31 October, with or without a deal. He made clear he sees the draft EU Withdrawal Treaty as dead. He and the government he leads must now see this through. I wish him every success with the task.

The draft Withdrawal Treaty

By JOHNREDWOOD | Published: JULY 25, 2019

Martin Howe, Richard Aikens and T Grant have written an excellent guide to the draft Withdrawal Treaty, published by Politeia.

They remind us that the whole Withdrawal Treaty, not just the Irish backstop, contains problems for the UK were we to sign it.

In particular they cite


It reaffirms the supremacy of EU law in specified areas, requiring UK courts to strike down any UK legislation which contradicts EU law.
It gives the European Court of Justice an important role in settling disputes by referring them to the ECJ, a court of one of the two parties to the dispute. International Treaties usually go to third party independent appeal
It imposes stringent penalty payments on the UK for non compliance and allows the EU to suspend its own Treaty obligations if they argue the UK has failed to comply
There is no exit clause for the UK without the permission of the EU
I wrote a letter to the Attorney General about various problems with the draft Treaty including the long tail financial liabilities it would commit us to.

It is good the new PM has said this draft Treaty is “dead”.

ANGELA MERKEL’S 1.3 TRILLION REASONS TO BE NICE TO THE UK

Over the past 20 years, Germany has sold €1.3 TRILLION of goods to the UK
Last year alone, Germany’s trade surplus with UK was equivalent to the ‘divorce bill’

So it's undemocratic for the people to have a vote on the exit deal which was totally unknown at the referendum, but it's somehow democratic for 92000 daily mail readers to vote in a completely new government.

What's wrong,Sentiment,is 50 years of persistent negative brainwashing from the MSM.

It is hypnotic in its effect and will not be overcome for a very long time,if ever.
