The fourth article in the telegraph today, each time with a different government member stating the objective is to get rid of the backstop.

Increasingly convinced we’re being prepared for the ‘success’ of a deal that is merely the WA minus the backstop, namely Brino and a disaster both for the Conservative party and the UK (and democracy, sovereignty, freedom, accountability etc etc).

Macron sends blunt message to Boris - EU threaten trade shutdown until UK hands over £39bn



It was always about money. The EUSSR with their snouts in the trough of British money. It was money, money, money for the Evil EUSSR

Time's up

LEAVE and WTO

Save 39 billion for the BRITISH PEOPLE.

Now more than ever !Even the Germans were happy to see the back of her.."Domestically von der Leyen has been a divisive figure, with some German media outlets recently reporting that it's "good news" for the military that von der Leyen is leaving her position as defense minister"God help Europe.

I thought Germany was already at the top of the European executive last 50 years...

[k38] 28/7/2019 21:53

Wow... if this is not an offence to Europe, I don't know what it.In a statement, Merkel congratulated her, saying she looked forward to "good cooperation" with von der Leyen as "a new partner" in Brussels. "After over 50 years, a German will be at the top of the European executive," she noted.

At least Boris had Jeremy hunt as an opposition and.. people vote for the conservatives to lead the country and solve Brexit. If you want to talk about democracy read...Von der Leyen's nomination to replace Juncker was unexpected since von der Leyen wasn't even a candidate. Some have described her nomination as a backroom deal in Brussels.Ahead of the vote, von der Leyen faced a lot of criticism, particularly from Merkel's coalition partners -- the Social Democrats (SPD) -- who were upset that EU leaders ignored the top candidates after days of horse-trading.

grahamite ..the only part of your excellent diatribe about Plug and Dracula is when you say they come across as weirdos.

There is nothing whatever they can do about that. They ARE seriously lockable up weirdos..

Any psycho would get the jackets out straight away if he was given the job.

An unelected government deliberately pursuing policies which are 100% certain to do great harm to the country? Normally a situation for the armed forces to move in.

If you knew the mechanisms for central and local government procurement you wouldn’t make comments like that.

Your ignorance at your age is astounding. What have you been doing all your life?

Jacko

Neil Woodford isn’t my idol. I admire some of his work, some of his work I don’t like at all.

Remember, Woodford is far wealthier and more successful than you. So am I.

You seem to be a one/two trick pony and even that you get wrong. Lloyd’s and ITV - is that all?

I’ve never once owned Carillion. Shows your old mind is failing.

As for Kier, PFG and CPI - yes, for various reasons they didn’t work out. But, they are blips on an otherwise very solid portfolio. Maybe you should stop pretending you are in my league and start listening to someone who knows what they are talking about.

I would wager my return/risk ratio on my portfolio is one of the best on ADVFN over the last two decades.

If you are looking for a Minerve investment idol I listed them to you a few posts ago.

Try Munger, Buffett, Lynch, Arnold.

You are truly an old prat.

[corby3] 28/7/2019 17:54

Aren't Carillion bust and the other two in trouble.

Will also be interesting next year, on divi, when they move to a 1/4rly.

[bargainbob] 28/7/2019 16:53

Lloyds are changing to quarterly dividends.

[gaffer73] 28/7/2019 16:18

Let's hope so!

[likeawalrus] 28/7/2019 14:07

just to expand on why I think the divi will be above expectations. Lloyds has a huge investor base, the largest of any ftse company, the share price has been in the doldrums for ages, ppi is coming to an end, very good fundamentals; so I think they will feel under pressure to reward the patience of the shareholders with an interim divi that is better than expected

[mikemichael2] 28/7/2019 14:07

Don't forget Kier jacko, and how do you zoop up a car??

[gaffer73] 28/7/2019 13:43

Don't know, never had it. I had the option to take it out but unlike the several million people who entered into the contract without bothering to read the terms, I managed to work out for myself that I wouldn't be covered so declined the offer. It's been going for about 5 years now I think, so if they've waited till now they're still as stupid as the day they took it out.

[mr.elbee] 28/7/2019 13:21

too much computer spell checking by supermarket staff.

[m4rtinu] 28/7/2019 12:55

jrp - thanks for referencing this article, which I missed originally. A bit pessimistic, but perhaps necessarily so.

On a pedantic note they made a big faux-pas with this line:

"The bank has also weathered the producer price index (PPI) storm, although further payments will continue to mount up, the end is in sight for this hardy perennial of bank results." As the Moggy says, "check your work!"

[jrphoenixw2] 28/7/2019 12:31

Thanks for the IG link @ #3836 Whitestone, it's one of the better informed analyses I've seen of late, and thought provoking to see technicals, from a source I hold to be usually quite trust-worthy, at the share vs index level. Quite a sobering 2-way view, but informative.

It'll be good to have PPI out the way, and then hopefully get the new spirit of 'can-do' from #10 embedded into the popular mood. When I worked in the City one of our many corporate mantras was 'The tone comes from the top'. That concerned culture, ethics, but also without question the general mood.
