Minnie..sorry to mention investments, but your Capita are down another 6p this morning. You might want to get out, as Boris may be de-criminalizing the ridiculous TV licensing law.

If it happens, Capita will definitely see a drop in the revenue their scumbag agents frighten poor people into paying for the BBC TV license.

I know you care about people who struggle to pay this unfair, uncommercial, levy on the poor, so perhaps it is time to practice what you preach and ditch this awful company from your portfolio.

The big question is, how to celebrate Brexit Day?

One answer would be a trip to Spoons, to honour the great Tim Martin.

"The UK government says it has signed 11 trade agreements with African countries, just over a week before it officially leaves the European Union.

It is expected to unveil a new strategy for development in Africa later on Monday, which will focus more on infrastructure and trade.

At least a dozen African leaders are in London for a summit aimed at boosting the UK's private sector investment on the continent.

This is a major shift in the UK's relationship with Africa.

It is about using aid money to support investment. The Department for International Development says it is now focusing on digital technologies, green energy and women entrepreneurs.

UK businesses will also play a big role. They have already signed deals worth more than £6bn ($7.8bn), with more expected during the summit.

With many of the fastest growing economies and a rapidly expanding population, Africa is seen as an attractive market for long-term investors."

The miserable Remoaners are being left wallowing in their defeatist gloom. We're moving ahead without you.

Hope nobody here is invested in the overpriced Fevertree other than in its equally overpriced products. The tonic is unremarkable.

Yes, symptoms include posting the same thing twice!

Watch out!

LOL

Barometric pressure unprecedentedly high over the UK over the last couple of days!
Watch out for crazies like Min to go berserk with frenzied excitement!

[gotnorolex] 20/1/2020 11:03

Going thataway for awhile!

Cummings and his Tories definitely need to start adding artificial intelligence given they were quite disastrous with human intelligence.

Computer says Remain 🤣🤣🤣

"to pay about £35 bn pa in extra costs, (on EU figures)"

Extra costs over what exactly?

[grahamite2] 20/1/2020 10:17

EU rules ... force 96% of UK companies, about 5,400,000, who have no EU trade, to pay about £35 bn pa in extra costs, (on EU figures).

Just the point I was making yesterday.

We may yet be astonished at just how good leaving the EU is for us. We'll wonder why the hell we put up with it for so long.

Jeremy Corbyn's plan to send John Bercow to the House of Lords comes under fire from protégé Rebecca Long-Bailey







Amy Jones, political correspondent
19 JANUARY 2020 • 6:25PM



Jeremy Corbyn’s plan to elevate former speaker John Bercow to the House of Lords has been dealt a blow by his favoured successor Rebecca Long-Bailey.

The Labour leadership candidate indicated she did not support the decision, with a spokesperson saying she was instead in favour of “abolishing” the second chamber and replacing it with a “democratically elected Senate outside of London”.

Mr Bercow was accused of bullying by former staffers while in office and became the first holder of his role in 230 years not to be offered a peerage upon resigning last year.

David James 20 Jan 2020 8:26AMFoster's boring EU propaganda. Even labelling it a "fair" and "level" playing field is nonsense. In effect each UK family must pay £1,200 extra in higher prices from 15,000 EU External tariffs. To subsidise EU waste and protectionism.Cover for EU blocking UK competitiveness, and control of UK consumers with rules, quotas and 15,000 tariffs to subsidise inefficient greedy EU economies.EU nonsense of unwanted EU rules was to advantage big German industry. They force 96% of UK companies, about 5,400,000, who have no EU trade, to pay about £35 bn pa in extra costs, (on EU figures).The UK has no choice but diverge sharply from EU rules. They have made the EU crash into negative growth. The UK must leave as 90% of all future growth will be in non EU regions. The EU will stagnate at best.The EU is sinking in crisis. Even Merkel says the rules must be more competitive.

think SME are going to struggle with the red tape e.g

You need an EORI number to move goods into or out of the EU (including the UK).If you do not get one, you may have increased costs and delays. For example, if HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) cannot clear your goods you may have to pay storage fees.

err close up shop

If you don't know then you shouldn't be in business...




Businesses you should have been prepared!

What should they be prepared for?

We don't know yet!

ROFLMAO!

I do like the 70p to 84p bit though.

Have to say Min, Liverpool are so far ahead and everyone else so inconsistent that's its going to be embarrassing. We can let the scousers have their moment I am sure they will make the most of it.Yawn. Enjoyed the day though, few beers and all that.

Withdrawl of the supermarkets , all good longer term . Not easy to finance a loan business nowadays , leaving only the super players .

Still see it as a negative , when last player in a town , they are still closing the branch . Poor CEO descision imho.

PPI will rattle one more time Pete , but surely the death rattle . Again CEO not controlled that very well.

In truth think he needs to go .

[sentimentrules] 19/1/2020 23:57

Yes better out there. Indices all diverging on the rise though. Money leaving during it. Not sure if it's profit taking or a general exit but bank sector right on the ledge . Needs a rise this week to avoid prolonged downturn
