.......you do if it is of national importance! My goodness, you are forgiving. Lol

Cheshire Pete is right. Boris would be a national hero if he walked away right now. He'd even salvage some of the reputation he's thrown away with the mishandling of COVID. Nobody expects a Prime Minister to get everything right all of the time.

The frog fishermen have the entire French coastline to play with. What possible right do they have to ours?

Out of one cash trough and into another with a pot of gold at each end of the move.

As for the new guy, he seems to like Shoring Customer services and IT jobs to India, so little to look froward to for current Lloyds staff or customers!

Yes the merry go round of liars and crooks

France's Europe minister warned that there would be no trade deal without "sustainable and wide-ranging access to British waters". "Our fishermen are no less important than theirs, and they didn't have the right to vote in the referendum."

No give on either side and getting a bit tetchy

I see that Credit Suisse has a new Chairman. ;)

Credit Suisse announced Tuesday that outgoing Lloyds Banking Group CEO António Horta-Osório would be its next chairman. Current chairman Urs Rohner will step down in 2021, after working at the Swiss bank for a decade.

News of Horta-Osorio's appointment at Credit Suisse came a day after Lloyds Bank announced his replacement as CEO, HSBC banker Charlie Nunn.

A much more interesting bank for him.

The UK fishing industry has a bright future if Doris doesnt do a shirtlifter and throw it under a bus.

@miniman.... you sad sad person, you are like a broken record, just repeating your warped view of everything. Never mind, when they put you in the straightjacket and take you away you will have all kinds of new people to preach to!

Sunderland Nissan workers vote for Brexit. Fishermen vote for Brexit. Farmers vote for Brexit. A Brexit sold on lies, deception and promises by the likes of Johnson, Gove, Fox and Davies that have all been broken. Well act in haste, repent at leisure. There’ll be plenty of leisure time to be had as businesses fold and bankruptcies mount.

Quid's in with Bitcoin again Min, should pay for my private treatment.

"He doesn't want to be seen as the bad guy by walking away."


"Think he should walk away and now....he'd be a national hero."


Even your thinking cannot be reconciled.


By-the-way, if you lose your job and way of life, Boris will not be your hero, I can assure you that.

[cheshire pete] 01/12/2020 10:12

Minerve: Think Boris wants to be able to say something like the EU didn't ever really want to do a deal, if they had been genuine they would have moved more quickly.
He doesn't want to be seen as the bad guy by walking away. Imagine the lefty press headlines...Boris throws his toys out of the pram... Boris scuppers talks...Boris storms off....blah blah blah.

Think he should walk away and now....he'd be a national hero.

JP Morgan and Lloyds reportedly considering bids for Starling Bank


The challenger maintains "an IPO is still in our sights.”


Just a week after Starling Bank announced it has reached profitability, and suitors are already reportedly queuing up.

According to The Times, JP Morgan and Lloyds Banking Group have both expressed interest respectively in the challenger bank.

JP Morgan is currently gearing up for a 2021 launch of its own UK digital bank, possibly under its Chase brand, which is little-known in the UK. A Starling takeover would give JP Morgan both a recognised and established brand along with 1.9m UK customers.

Lloyds, meanwhile, is reportedly interested in Starling from a technology point of view, with The Times reporting that Starling has recently opened a “data room” as part of an upcoming £200m funding round.

For the month of October Starling Bank turned an operating profit of £800,000, representing £10.1m on an annualised basis, on an operating income of £9m.

The figures have been buoyed by interest income from Starling’s strong growth in lending, particularly from government-backed lending schemes.

Whether or not a bid materialises from either JP Morgan or Lloyds, Starling Bank CEO Anne Boden has always maintained that an IPO has always been a longer-term aim for the bank.

When asked about the JP Morgan and Lloyds a spokesperson for Starling told AltFi: “Anne has always said she will never sell to a big bank. An IPO is still in our sights.”

Yes, altho might prove us wrong.

[minerve 2] 01/12/2020 09:59

By-the-way folks....

I posted a month ago about National Grid potentially having an undervalued asset in its gas pipeline. They have been awarded a contract to look at this pipeline for pumping hydrogen.

Just like Minerve suggested they might.

Watch this space. ;)

If you agree then why is your side failing in execution?

Do you admit your choice of Tory leader has failed you?

Simple answer: yes/no

[maxk] 01/12/2020 09:55

I agree with you Min! #035 Even gave you a tick up.

[minerve 2] 01/12/2020 09:51

Scaredy cats. Dirty rats.

Morning.

You don't.

So declare No Deal TODAY and let us get on with it.

What are you waiting for?
