I think the MF consists of a range of commentators so you need to check if it was the same name. They are often in conflict with each other and from what I can gather none of them have much respect across the industry.

Brexit offers trade opportunities in far flung countries.

The CEO of food producer Cranswick was against Brexit, but can now see the opportunities for trade with far flung countries.


Adam Couch said thorough planning ensured the Hull-based firm was well prepared.

"In terms of paperwork, we would be in favour of remaining in the EU," said Mr Couch.


"That said, we will adapt. I'm broadly positive about Brexit now and I was a Remainer."

Cranswick worked closely with suppliers and customers to manage supply chain risks and it is minimising Brexit costs and supply chain disruption.

"We convened a Brexit steering committee after the referendum," said Mr Couch.

"It's only in the last six months that we built up a real understanding of what was required to mitigate a lot of the stumbling blocks.

"Paperwork was the main issue and still is. It's typically five extra documents that we have to complete."

Andrew Neil slams 'woke warriors' who are trying to cancel new GB News television channel before it starts after they launched sabotage campaign calling for boycott of its advertisers


Andrew Neil has hit back after a sabotage campaign against GB News channel

Activists are threatening to cancel phone contracts if firms pay for advertising

They are using hashtag 'Don'tBackGBNews' to attack the soon-to-launch channel

Critics claim it will 'be like Fox News', but experts believe it will be 'right-leaning.

Andrew Neil has today slammed 'woke warriors' for trying to cancel his new GB News station before it even starts.

The former BBC presenter laid into activists after they launched a sabotage campaign against his soon-to-be-launched TV channel.

Twitter activists are urging firms not to advertise with the new station under the hashtag 'Don'tBackGBNews', because they fear the channel will be 'like America's Fox News' - a comparison bosses have rejected.


And those backing the campaign, including equality campaigner Femi Oluwole, have threatened to cancel their phone contracts if companies such as EE and Vodafone pay for advertising spaces on the channel.

But Mr Neil, who is the chairman of GB News, has today hit out at those behind the campaign.

His comments come as he today described news debate in Britain as 'increasingly woke and out of touch with the majority of its people' in an interview with the Sunday Express.

In a tweet he said: 'The woke warriors trying to stir up an advertising boycott of GB News, a channel that hasn't even started broadcasting, are hilarious.

Last article about Lloyd's the fool was buying, can't remember him doing another saying he was selling. 'Here's why I'm not buying Lloyd's, I'm buying something else' Good one. idiot.

With the voices of Sage whispering into their ears, Boris Johnson and his advisers become more risk averse by the day, which is ironic given their earlier careless approach.
The Government is planning to publish a carefully calibrated road map for lifting the restrictions later this month (Feb 22), having so far studiously refused to spell out the criteria that will be applied. That plan is being instructed by detailed modelling from the Cabinet Office and the Treasury of what each of the restrictions does for infection rates. Which for instance does most to spread the disease? Schools, university halls, gyms, non-essential retail, household gatherings, restaurants, entertainment venues, and so on?


Restrictions will be removed accordingly, starting with the least effective in preventing infections relative to economic impact and concluding with the most. Sadly, theatres, music venues, and mass gatherings will probably be the last of them.
In a pointer to what further support packages might be announced in the Budget next month, the Treasury recently published data showing no correlation of any significance between last summer’s “eat out to help out” scheme and the rate of new infections. In some areas – Wales, Yorkshire and Humber – there was actually a negative correlation, contrary to claims that the scheme seeded the second wave. We might therefore expect something similar going into the spring, so as to encourage households to start spending freely again.
I suppose we have to reluctantly agree that all this makes at least a degree of sense. The last thing the Government wants is to repeat the mistakes of last summer and early autumn, when the lockdown was eased only to incubate a second wave. Johnson needs to be 100pc confident that this time around the opening up is sustainable.
Inability to spend through the pandemic has led to a startling increase in the savings rate, with UK households having deposited £125bn more by the end of November than would normally be expected. Unfortunately, this will not have been spread equally among households, most of which will have little or no savings windfall to spend as restrictions are lifted. But even if as little as just 5pc of it is regurgitated, the Bank of England judges, then it will put a further rocket under the recovery. My guess is that it will be much more. As I say, it is perhaps the prospect of interest rate rises, not negative rates, that we’ll soon be worrying about most

Post 15342...why does it always have to be the next incoming one will grow the share price until the next one..then the next one...then the next one...you get my drift... ...what did the current ones do?...they got paid super remuneration packages...it has become a self full filling label procedure in the casino markets...






Possibly also the changes to the management team may also be a factor. Lloyds already has a new chairman and has appointed a new CEO, Charlie Nunn from HSBC, to take over later this year. This new team could look to accelerate growth or change the strategy of the bank. This could help excite investors and grow the Lloyds share price.

'I think I’d personally add ASOS over Lloyds to my portfolio'

Maybe if you are adding to your portfolio, I'm not.

[blueball] 07/2/2021 12:36

Why I wont buy back in.

If Natwest did well enough to be forking out £200M in bonuses then I reckon mortgage lending must have been a good business end of 2020... Lloyds should be good news (in context of corona) and they aren't paying bonuses (even better) saying they would keep the cash to boost the bottom line during the pandemic




The taxpayer-backed NatWest Group is preparing to pay bonuses of roughly £200m for last year, Sky News understands.

"whilst it's part of the UK it should be binned and replaced with a Proclaimers song."

You are joking, right?

I would suggest "Giddy up a ding dong" by the Sensational Alex Harvey Band.
