We shall see.
Davey is a decent bloke of good character.
People trust him.
He is blatantly pro EU.and our relationship with our most important trading partner.

Just a guess.

I think the polls will be proved to be way out, although not enough to stop a comfortable Labour victory.

I predict 1 seat for Reform...Clacton. (10th time lucky for Nigel)

Careless
How could you even mention the Davey lamp when writing about politics?
Man is devoid of sense as is his party.

Interesting to see if the polls are right.
So many undecided.

I feel the Lib Dems could do quite well.
If the Reform share holds up, then Labour could win huge.
I suspect that the Reform vote will be much lower on the night.

Farage has split the Tory vote in two halves.
Handing Labour a landslide victory.
That is how it looks.

Add together Reform + Tory and this would be a close election.
Credit to Farage, he is a disruptive influence with a loyal following barking out simple populist solutions knowing he will never be in power.

How he swung Brexit in 20i6 by talking about controlling our borders and stopping freedom of movement.His loyal followers loved it.
Now he is popular by complaining about mass immigration from elsewhere a problem the he himself helped to create.
He must laugh himself to sleep every night.

We get the government we deserve.

What This Week's Federal Reserve Decision Means for Stocks.

Even if rates stay higher for longer, hopes of a soft landing are alive and well.

Investors are again recalibrating their expectations around the Federal Reserve's long-awaited interest rate cuts. After hotter-than-expected jobs market data surprised investors on Friday, Treasury yields spiked and bond futures markets pared back their expectations for policy easing.

While the report showed a reacceleration in hiring, the concern was that too much strength in the job market, coupled with stubborn inflation, could keep the central bank on hold even longer. Bond traders now see a roughly equal chance that rates hold steady or the Fed lowers the funds rate for the first time in this cycle at its September meeting. Before the report, traders pegged the odds of a September cut at 55% versus a 33% chance they'd be held steady.

But despite handwringing over the effect of so-called "higher for longer" policy on the economy and equities, strategists say investors have reason for optimism. In fact, our current scenario – and what's most likely to come – may propel the powerful bull market, which has seen stocks up nearly 12% year-to-date, to even more gains in the second half.

9.4m people of working age are currently unavailable/not looking for work. Surely some politician has the wit to sort this.

Yup, it's called Conscription. If you arent working but are of working age/healthy and in receipt of welfare, Conscription is your future.

Wonder how many of that 9.4million get welfare(and wonder how many are foreigners)

One presumes Conscription will be for both MEN and WOMEN - Equality and all that.

That Bank of England report also shows commitments to lend surged 30% quarter-on-quarter and year-on-year



Possible boom going into autumn post-election? I don't think so but that must show the possibility is there?

[institutional investments] 11/6/2024 11:15

Well, when Blackrock , Sachs and co are saying one thing but money betting on another, best to run with the latter
