So what for this week? On the one hand you've got the BOE considering negative interest to 'rescue' the economy and on the other signs of normality returning . With Hopefully the start of the share price returning to 'normality' as well ?Brexit seems like the least of our problems but we might see some progress even there this week.Who knows ?Good Luck.

Boss of Britain's biggest recruiter warns of 'tsunami of job losses' when furlough scheme endsJames Reed fears the labour market is heading towards a 'day of reckoning' when the support endsByTom Rees24 May 2020 • 9:30pm?The UK is facing a "tsunami of job losses" when the Government's huge support for workers' wages is wound down, the boss of Britain's biggest recruiter has warned.James Reed, chairman of online jobs site Reed, said he feared the labour market is heading towards a "day of reckoning" when the support ends."The worry is what happens when furlough winds up," he said. "Is there a wave of redundancies coming? The danger is a tsunami of job losses." Mr Reed added: "Companies I talk to are a half or a quarter of the size they were when they furloughed people, or they are on the verge of going bankrupt."Economists fear a second wave of redundancies could sweep the UK as the furlough scheme is rolled back, threatening to derail the economy's recovery.Some 856,500 people made new benefit claims in April, six times higher than any point in the financial crisis, while eight million are furloughed.The jobs retention scheme could be propping up so-called "zombie jobs" that would not survive without the support. The Government pays 80pc of furloughed workers' pay to prevent mass unemployment by the lockdown.The economy is unlikely to have staged a full recovery before the scheme is wound down, putting jobs at risk. Mr Reed predicts unemployment "will go up significantly" and warned the jobless rate could top 15pc.Daily Telegraph

The price of solidarityBy JOHNREDWOOD | Published: MAY 25, 2020For years Germany and the Netherlands have resisted any idea that the EU should borrow money together and spend it in the poorer areas of its territory. They wanted a currency union but not a benefits union, a monetary union but not a transfer union.The dollar area or the sterling area are currency unions backed by self governing states. In each there are large transfers of money from the richer parts of the area to the poorer parts. These take the form of grants to local government from central taxation, grants to individuals through the benefits system based on need, and common taxation raising m ore from the places where incomes are higher. As a city or county that suffers relatively low incomes cannot devalue against the richer places, it needs to the grants to get its living standards closer to the national average.Last week Germany and France came to an Agreement. They propose a Euro 500bn fund for the EU, to spend on recovery from the pandemic.  The money will be borrowed by the EU as a whole, where each state stands behind the loans in proportion to the size of tis economy.  If the EU decides to spend proportionately more in the distressed areas of its territory, then it would have some mild element of redistribution about it.Time will tell whether this is the first step on the full road to a transfer union, or whether this is a one off gesture soon to be watered down by delays in getting the money and by an approach that all states should have prizes in the lottery draw for the funds.I have always thought those in the EU who argue they need a transfer union to complete their monetary union are right. The problem is the true price of solidarity and more equal standards will be very high for German and Dutch taxpayers. Is this a saleable proposition to them?Posted in Uncategorized | Leave a comment

Can't think of a decent one. Never seen so much scum in suits . It's like a court day in Birmingham

Maggie Thatcher is dead I think

[minerve 2] 25/5/2020 00:03

Cummings must have an old photo of boris molesting a pigs head or something

Got to be some hold over em

[spartan attack] 24/5/2020 23:57

Ah well now Minerve that's different. Your not a tory so you should be dead really

[minerve 2] 24/5/2020 23:55

And they want to take on the world?

Give me a break.

[minerve 2] 24/5/2020 23:52

Well if the police even bother to make a call they are coming to the wrong house if they think they are going to find me contrite.

[spartan attack] 24/5/2020 23:48

Have to build regional BB courts to cope with the demand

[spartan attack] 24/5/2020 23:46

Cops will fall over if they look at the forum. They wouldn't know where to begin .

Probably the easiest decision would be to not look further or the courts would be full of UK bb investors for the next ten years

AndyCapp doesn’t like what I say because it just reminds him that his Little Englander Boris Brexit dream is over, finished.

Minerve I don’t know who you are but I have reported you to the police who have confirmed they will contact ADVFN. Your posts are obnoxious and I suspect transgress the law in respect of Dominic Cummings.

.....

You obviously don't read many threads here. Haha

[minerve 2] 24/5/2020 23:40

Perhaps I should report the countless comments wishing that I should top myself.

There have been plenty here. I won’t though because I don’t want to waste police time and I am made of steel.

Not made of margarine like some on here.

Oh, is poor AndyCapp offended?

OH, such a shame. Poor Little Englander.
