@Jacko

My PFG holding up reasonably well today.
Capita doing very well this year, as is BDEV.
Serco been one of my best holdings too.

Oh yes, I have lost plenty of money on my 'Woodford' holdings.

LOL

bbj - x5 or stoned will reply with some inane predictions after reading their tea leaves.

They both need a calendar to know what day it is - and then doubt it.

ROFLMAO

@bbalanjones

Oh dear, I wonder what the old Brexiter turnips have to say about that?

LOL

[bbalanjones] 15/1/2020 10:17

Well well well! Who would have thought it?

The cost of Brexit has already been predicted to hit £200 billion this year - totalling more than the UK has paid into the EU over 47 years.




Obviously NOT the much vaunted Project Fear Teams output now!

BUT

And sun spots for remain valuations?

[alphorn] 15/1/2020 10:06

How does anybody come up with any valuation?

Phases of the moon would cover most Brexit related valuations.

[maxk] 15/1/2020 10:01

How do they come up with these valuations?

[maxk] 15/1/2020 09:53

That's very unkind graham.

Momentum accused of Labour leadership 'stitch up' as members only given choice of backing Rebecca Long-Bailey

Momentum has been accused of attempting to “stitch up” the Labour leadership contest after balloting its members on whether it should back Rebecca Long-Bailey without offering an alternative.

To the fury of senior figures inside the pro-Corbyn campaign group, its 40,000 members were on Tuesday asked to vote “yes or no'' on whether it at as an organisation should support the shadow business secretary’s candidacy.

Momentum, whose founder Jon Lansman is backing Ms Long-Bailey, said it would throw its weight behind her should 50 percent of respondents to the survey agree.

Labour moderates claimed it was “ridiculous” that members had not been asked their opinion on the four other candidates, pointing out that Momentum had been founded to make Labour more democratic....

I always said the only way the Section 30 process might work is if Boris Johnson did something stupid. He may have done that (a) by responding to the request and (b) by giving as the reason for rejection something which is a provable lie.

Controlling spendingBy JOHNREDWOOD | Published: JANUARY 15, 2020The new fiscal rules require the government to only spend what it collects in taxes, with the exception of capital investment. Given the increases promised for schools, the NHS and the police, this means that the government does need to be careful with its spending. If it has other priorities for additional money, it will need to improve the efficiency of the spend elsewhere or identify programmes that are no longer needed.It is anyway necessary to regularly review spending and to challenge public sector managers over how  well it is being spent. Today I invite contributors to send in their best ideas for things that could be cancelled or trimmed from the present large budgets.My own list includes some large items. I would cancel HS2, and spend some of the savings on more immediate and necessary improvements on rail routes into cities and towns, especially in the North and Midlands. London is currently receiving money for Crossrail and for tube improvements.I would transfer some of the money required to be spent on Overseas Aid to housing, NHS capital and new school provision to represent the first year costs of refugees and economic migrants who need homes, access to surgeries and school places for their children. These are allowable costs under the overseas aid definitions.I would toughen and spell out the terms of any future payments to the EU, as we do not wish to be paying more to them once we have properly left at the end of this year. The EU will have benefitted from an additional 21 months of our budget contributions thanks to the delays imposed on our exit by the last Parliament anyway.I would promote faster growth in the ways set out on this blog, which will reduce the numbers out of work and so lower the benefit bills for a good reason.

Not a huge surprise. It has been clear for some time that the more extreme remoaners have lost their reason completely.

Motley fool are suggesting an share price of 70p - 84p. He was honest enough to declare an interest.

Flyby is saved but more missiles fired at U.S base in Iraq. No injuries.
