K38, Brussels pinned their hopes that the elected representatives would be too scared to sever ties with the EU & they were so nearly proved correct. The longer the parliamentary shenanigans were played out the more previously malleable voters started to question the democracy system they were embroiled in. In many respects the likes of Anna Sourbry etc opened up the debate onto something much larger than Brexit alone.

I believe Coronavirus still in "control" of the market. 50p is not out of the Q, depending on the virus news the next 5 days.

IN A MOMENT OF MADNESS.. WE FOUND FREEDOM!


Voters in UK use (and still) follow the news UK vs. EU. Brussels do not only underestimate Cameron but the people too. They thought a remainer government would not rist a referendum. That's why the mafia call him (openly)f#stupid.
He had not choice but to call for a referendum!!

And the politicians CP. Steve Baker is often overlooked but imo was integral in delivering a cohesive strategy & respected by all the factions of the leave campaign. The plan took 40yrs to come to fruition and was won at the first bite of the cherry. Something which is lost on the SNP who are in comparison rank amateurs.

Yes UTT, unbelievable arrogance by both the EU and Cameron who both underestimated the resolve of the British people. EU still trying to kid everyone that they hold the aces in the negotiations with UK now we've left. Not anymore now the Rotten Parliament has gone.

Wonder if the term Rotten Parliament will go down in history as did the Long and Rump Parliaments.

"March budget" ...what's going to be left of it!

[wendsworth] 26/2/2020 16:23

diku: I wouldn't have thought so. Me too at 50p ...but not such a 'big order'and I'm not sure the share price will fall to that level. March budget could be interesting.

[diku] 26/2/2020 16:05

Will Barc drag Lloy down tomorrow to 51p...surely big orders waiting at 50p...

[wendsworth] 26/2/2020 16:03

diku : You're welcome. Rightly or wrongly I've just taken an additional position in Barc to box in the 6p dividend. Waited for the FTSE and DOW to turn positive! I'm not ramping ! Still waiting on Lloyds ...!!

[wendsworth] 26/2/2020 15:47

diku : Barc goes ex divi tomorrow.

[optomistic] 26/2/2020 15:44

Cameron knew what answer he was going to get.

It was just 'a play' to the ignorant masses, and boy, haven't they bought it ever since!

EU 'red lines' warn of difficult months ahead: The EU published its negotiating mandate yesterday afternoon, outlining their fundamental demands for the upcoming trade talks. Many of the EU's caveats for a deal are at odds with what Boris Johnson and David Frost have been saying will be acceptable for the UK. The 46-page document sets out the EU wish list for the future relationship regarding fishing rights, financial services, 'level playing field' rules, regulation and food and health standards, and clearly demonstrated that the two Parties are worlds apart on their respective visions. Following the EU's negotiating directives going public, our Chairman, Shanker Singham responded by saying "If the EU continues to seek to use its legal order as the supervening order, or the reference point for adjudication, we are unlikely to make any progress." In his article he outlines the key potential flashpoints of negotiations, you can read the full article here. Michel Barnier is set to address the European Parliament later today. Future foreign policy under review: The Prime Minister has announced a major review of foreign and defence policy. The review will attempt to determine Britain's national security strategy for the next five years, looking at how Brexit might affect future relationships with allies and developing the UK's cyber capabilities. This major overhaul in foreign policy is likely to see an increase in defence spending to £38bn per year. Johnson said "We cannot rest on our laurels. We must do more... to ensure British foreign policy is rooted firmly in our national interests, now and in the decades ahead."Civil Service is Cummings' next target: Boris Johnson and Dominic Cummings have turned their attention to improving the efficiency of the machinery of government and reducing the influence of the civil service establishment. One former Cabinet minister said "Senior officials in Whitehall despise Brexit" suggesting that once again Johnson will look to centralise power for unity on Brexit as we go into tough negotiations.Farmers fears on future trade deals: Environment Secretary George Eustice spoke at the National Farmers Union annual conference today, and made an attempt to curb fears over the impact of a potential US-UK trade deal. Eustice said "The entire nation eats the food we produce, so when the NFU speaks up on standards up you are speaking up for everyone." The NFU has commended him for speaking up about food standards but fears over the impact of a trade deal on British farmers remain.Brexit success sees Baker resign: Steve Baker has resigned as chairman of the ERG. In his resignation letter yesterday, he praised the group's success in helping get Brexit done but also said that now the Prime Minister "has the policy, the mandate and the majority he needs to deliver an exit from the EU worth having." and he wanted to focus on his constituents in Wycombe and bringing the country together. Current Deputy Chairman, Mark Francois takes over the helm of the ERG.On our site today: Political commentator and spokesperson for Leavers of Britain, Suzanne Evans, looks at the way in which Whitehall operates and discusses how the civil service should be made more accountable. Finally, Alastair MacMillian, who runs White House Products, a company that exports to over 100 countries around the world, argues that if the EU don't start prioritising their domestic exporters, for whom the UK is a major market, during trade talks, they will pay dearly.For the latest news and developments throughout the day, please do follow @GlobalVision_UK on Twitter.Thanks for reading, and enjoy the rest of your day.

I read that around 1500 contractor positions are in the process of going or gone. It's a tough life in banking.

"Footnote..How the EU wish they had given Cameron what he asked for.

Unfortunately they had no dead pigs for your sainted hero. Deal breaker ensured.
