Government have been abundantly clear, no extension which is exactly the attitude to have when negotiating a deal.

Dear Mr Barnier

Please stick it right up Frost, Raab, Gove, Johnson and the rest of these exceptionalist English chancers. Force them to either crumble completely or accept the “no deal” they keep on telling us is their default position.

I write as a committed Englishman and European.

Regards

PS My apologies for the UK having inflicted these time wasters on you.

Economic recovery is unlikely to happen in time to help Trump. COVID over there is just as much a mess as it is here. You can thank the two half-wits 'in charge' for that.

The winds of change are about to blow through Whitehall with a vengeance

The changes being drawn up will amount to more than renaming or merging a few departments

The main function of the Cabinet Secretary is to serve as the Prime Minister’s senior Civil Service adviser. When he is no longer able to fulfil that role, either because someone else has supplanted him or he does not command the confidence of the Prime Minister to ensure his government’s wishes are implemented, then there is only one outcome.

It is not entirely clear if Sir Mark Sedwill, who is to step down in September, was unwilling to carry through the planned overhaul of Whitehall or if Boris Johnson feels it is better to start afresh with his own man. Removing a Cabinet Secretary within a year of taking office is unusual and will probably send shock waves around Whitehall.

But the move has been telegraphed for months even if Sir Mark might have hoped to survive what has been described as a “tsunami” of Civil Service reforms. There have been suggestions that he wanted to remain as National Security Adviser but therein lay one of his problems.

He wore three hats – the other being head of the Home Civil Service, which was too great a range of responsibilities. These are to be split up, with the national security post given to David Frost, the chief Brexit negotiator, who has clearly impressed the Prime Minister and should have largely completed his task by September, deal or not.

Sir Mark’s tenure was evidently coming to an end, given the weight of briefing against him which had made his job impossible. The power wielded inside No 10 by Dominic Cummings, the Prime Minister’s chief aide, was also making his position untenable despite attempts to insist the two worked well together.

The prospect of a significant shake-up of the government machinery has been talked about for months and the pandemic crisis has accelerated the need for change. At the weekend, Michael Gove, the Cabinet Office minister, denounced what he called “groupthink” within the Civil Service. The changes being drawn up will amount to more than renaming or merging a few departments but will seek to tackle an entire culture which Mr Cummings and others believe to be holding the country back.

It is suggested that the new cabinet secretary will be a Brexiteer, which would almost certainly require an appointment from outside the Civil Service. The winds of change are about to blow through Whitehall with a vengeance.

GTG - I am on an investment site to air my views as when I write them down it has always been helpful to me and learn from others' views.

Fantastic find, freddie! In an ideal world you might have resized it, but...

"I suspect you've not got a days graft in you"

Only monkeys have to graft. And oh boy, aren't you a monkey.

Enjoy your terraced life old boy. ;)

"GtG - You might want to explain how you dodge an issue when you take a position"

Classic obfuscation so as to avoid answering the question

How would YOU FIX the issues you always moan about and take a pop at the Tories over.

bob.. 2/3 are profits thanks to mms games, sooo predictable.Lol...;))

[grahamite2] 29/6/2020 10:20

Hear, hear, cheshire pete.

For negotiation to be meaningful and to serve any purpose at all, there has to be some sort of prospect of a compromise. If the two positions are wholly irreconcilable, there's no point.

[alphorn] 29/6/2020 10:19

AZ - you are indeed bogged down in fudge.

So share with us what actions you have taken in the market in past few months?

Are you here to invest or snipe at other's ideas?

[alphorn] 29/6/2020 10:12

GtG - You might want to explain how you dodge an issue when you take a position.

Actions not words - and MG are there enough words on this thread.

[cheshire pete] 29/6/2020 10:07

Yes and if Barnier doesn't stop playing games then 100% of his time as security advisor and 0% EU negotiator. Don't waste taxpayer money on false errands.

ALP always dodges the question!!!!

Don't see the big issue in him letting us all know what he would do/how he would fix it frankly.

Bet he'd say "Cancel Brexit"

Fact he noticeably avoids doing so tells you he has no solutions - just wants a excuse to do UK down, to do the Tory govt down, and to continue Remainer whinging.

Just love the way these articles get written post 308673...different wording same substance keep on churning...how long is a long run?...for Lloy shareholders it is an endless run jam tomorrow...only winners are the insiders...






Therefore, over the long run I’m optimistic about its potential to produce improving share price performance. It will require an improving economic performance to achieve this, to my mind. Or, at least the prospect of an improving outlook for the banking sector.

How long this will take is unknown, and in the meantime I’m not expecting a fast recovery for the Lloyds share price. Though, over the long run I feel it is could offer good value for money at the moment versus its peers and the FTSE 100.

When you look at the header chart the whole month of June so far it stayed above 30p...

[az209] 29/6/2020 08:23

Alp, you're dodging my question. What would you do? I have read your views many times but come on, how would you fix it. If you don't know then just say so.

Still no answer on why the bullish view on Sterling. Or is it the case of just watching a graph and waiting for an upswing regardless?
