AS Philip Ullman writes in the DT
The Prime Minister’s approach to cutting migration has been cautionary at best. Meanwhile, this election has shown that Jeremy Hunt and Rachel Reeves share an equally dogged devotion to the policies of the quangos that run the UK financial state. If anything, Reeves – herself a former Bank of England economist – seems even more wedded to the orthodoxy.
Just remember the tory who stated - bonfire of the quangos.
What happened - nothing - weasel words from politicians who dont know how to open a can of beans and put the bread in a toaster and serve the end product!

MATT GOODWIN: FARAGE’S Reform Party SURGES – Tories in CRISIS!

[scruff1] 09/6/2024 12:05

Already tried it M2. Cant get in the Leeds/Liverpool this end - full. Labours solution to the overcrowding crisis - suicide

Oh Dear, sounds like we're screwed, maybe time for a trip down to the cut with mi lead boots??

Farage is an agitator not an executor or administrator!
He won the BREXIT movement but made no effort what so ever to influence the withdrawal
plans. No good saying they were botched by Frost, not a whimper out of him at the time when the EU custom and excise border in Ireland could not be drawn because of the head on clash with the good Friday agreement!

Farage will have NOTHING to do with the tory party

Why?

he has said very publicly many times that.............

HE DOESNT LIKE THEM AS PEOPLE

no more to said. Spin all the theories you like. He is a "people person" and getting on with people is pre-eminent for him.

No, we are in for the usual labour party induced suffering but it wont be that bad because they are all so 4th rate that they are really incapable of doing anything good or bad.

And Nigel believes.... rightly..... that the only hope for Britain is a new party and also for things to get so bad that the sheep will finally wake up[ well some of them]

I think Farage would prefer a coalition with Tory to keep Labour out...

Re Mordaunt, I hear you Mr. E and GG, but you have to consider Farage's end-game, which, in my view is to take control of the Tory Party.

The reality is that with his decision to stand at this election, the Right of centre vote is totally split, giving even more seats/power to Labour. Reform's hastily cobbled together, raggle-taggle band of pretenders will win few seats this time around, but Farage is very likely to secure Clacton, which will give him personally and politically much kudos and an even greater momentum to his following in Parliament.

With the certain ensuing Labour screw-up and inevitable vacuum on the Right after 4th July, like-minds will need to come together fast, even if they might not be a perfect ideological fit for purists. Mordaunt is a Brexiteer and that is a very good start, bearing in mind, also, that she is highly articulate and a popular face for the electorate - a logical/pragmatic bridge between old Tory and Reform.

Nigel will need many parts to his team if he is destined to succeed and he will definitely have to draw heavily upon the wide-spread talent/experience from the remnants of the Tory Party. I am sure Liz Truss will also have her second coming/redemption through him, as will other familiar faces like Rees-Mogg, Jenrick, Francois, Braverman et al. You never know, Boris may also be enticed into the fold, though I think his ego is far too big to ever play second-fiddle to Farage! All of that said, may the Reform leader ban for all eternity the treacherous Gove!

Anyway, interesting times ahead, once we've got past the excruciating Labour victory/Conservative annihilation, though perish the thought that Farage doesn't get in!

Good point on Herion Scruff, the Afghanistan war should be renamed the smack war.

[scruff1] 08/6/2024 20:17

Ask the Chinese. Didnt they give a few bob for it because it had lithium or opium or summat like that

[utrickytrees] 08/6/2024 19:39

What was the cost of Afghanistan?

[scruff1] 08/6/2024 17:46

Someone once calculated after the 2nd WW - it was in a poem which Ive forgotten - dont think it was by GNR- it was around 1 victim per 1m bullets.

[vlad the impaler] 08/6/2024 13:27

Tbf it's only down 4.5% since sector called . Current yield approx 5%?

So, you guys are still up if we ignore a week of inflation

Just have to hope there are not too many -4.5%s to follow now. But hope is a folly ally in markets of course

[ming da merciless] 08/6/2024 11:35

Unfortunate to have to use hindsight, but then again, as solid evidence exits to say - it would have been wise lol

[ming da merciless] 08/6/2024 11:34

Guys can i ask, have you ever filtered/labelled a bull since 1999 or 2007? Just wondering
