Dont you worry about Cauldwell. Read my post this am. Hes giving em nowt but a nod. Running with the hare and the hounds. You dont get a knighthood and government contracts from the opposition.
Sunak doesnt know what day it is. If I had to walk through a minefield Id follow in Sunaks steps - from a distance. He would have trod on em all by the time I got there.

Now that the politicians and the police dont interfere with activists they have a free hand. Attacking stone henge. Bet my last bob none of em vote conservative and they all call Farage all sorts of names. They are getting worse cos nobody is any longer in authority or gives a toss. Anarchy rules in the UK and is getting worse.
It absolutely guts me that they had an 80 seat majority and did absolutely SFA

Tories down to 53 seats in new poll.
Reform zero.

If these polls are right the Tories will never recover.

Seeing those rubber boats assisted by the French, should be so easy to stop, is making people very angry.

So many human shields (children). Use the word 'children' and they say that is ok then.
8 billion people out there waiting to come here. Everyone welcome.

Insnity, and Labour will be no better.

More than 880 people have arrived in the UK in a single day after crossing the English Channel – a new record for the year so far.

Home Office figures show 882 people arrived in 15 small boats on Tuesday.

That was the highest daily total since October 2022, when 1,047 people arrived in UK waters in one day.

The latest crossings bring the total number of arrivals for June to 1,865 people, with 12,313 making the crossing so far this year.

The total so far for 2024 is higher than at the same point in 2022 and 2023.

As off 18 June in 2023, 10,472 people were recorded as making the crossing, compared with 11,659 in 2022.

He called the election date knowing inflation figures would be down to 2%...all scripted not coincidence timing...

[xxxxxy] 19/6/2024 12:34

034.Well, the Conservative Elite really made it happen....Seems bonkers to me....but that is the way it is.

[gotnorolex] 19/6/2024 12:31

Sunak delivers, inflation down to 2% but thanks for nothing, here's your walking ticket! What ever happened to "Its the economy stupid!"

Even if Farage wins Clacton and a few other seats, he will be nothing in the house of commons if Labour have a huge majority.

Why should they care about the rag tag opposition from any other party?

The real problem longer term is that the real lefties in the Labour Party will start to agitate for more extreme socialist policies.

Whether it will be decend into the chaos of the war in the Tory Party between the European Support Group and the front bench remains to be seen.
We remember the Party members de selecting MP's who were remainers.

Things will start smoothly, and there is always chance that Starmer will be a great Prime Minister. Eventually though there could be civil war.
Huge majorities create problems of their own. Votes at 16 will be a game changer.

It is the re shaping of the Tory Party which will be iteresting. A lurch to the extreme right as in France,maybe with Farage involved is a possibility.
But who cares if they only have a few seats. They may never come back similar to the Liberals in the 1920's.

[gotnorolex] 19/6/2024 11:56

Apostasies John Caudwell and Jim Ratcliff have succumbed to the socialists, guess are happy to change their tittles to Oligarchs!
Wonder if Charles Dunstone talk talks the same language now.

[utrickytrees] 19/6/2024 11:46

I hope Ange and Starmer reap havoc with a barage of hard core socialist policies. Britain needs to suffer before Socialism is rejected once an for all like so called conservatives will be this election. I suspect though not much will change...Starmer will bottle it. getting him to come to a decision will be torture particularly with Farage scrutinising his every move.

Lloyds (LON: LON:LLOY) share price has pulled back in the past few weeks as the focus shifts to the upcoming Bank of England (BoE) decision. After peaking at 57.36p in May, the stock has crashed by over 4% from its highest point this year.
Bank of England’s decision
Lloyds Bank and other British banks have retreated recently as investors wait for Thursday’s Bank of England decision.
Economists expect the bank to leave interest rates unchanged at 5.25% even after the encouraging UK inflation data. According to the Office of National Statistics (ONS), the headline Consumer Price Index (CPI) dropped from 2.3% in April to 2.0% in May.
Core inflation, on the other hand, dropped from 3.9% in April to 3.5% in May. Therefore, analysts expect that the bank will wait for the upcoming election before starting to cut interest rates.
Lloyds is also reacting to the upcoming election that will usher a new era in the UK economy after over a decade of conservatives in power. Some analysts believe that the election could expose the UK economy to a bond sell-off.
There are still reasons to invest in Lloyds Bank even as these risks remain. First, the bank has a dividend yield of 5.02%, which is higher than most companies in the FTSE 100 index. This means that a £100,000 investment will generate about £5,000 in annual dividend earnings.
Lloyds has been hiking dividends because of its strong earnings and its goal of reducing its capital reserves. It also has strong credit ratings with Standard & Poors, Moody’s, and Fitch’s long-term bonds having a rating of BBB+, A3, and A.


Second, the company is still highly undervalued. It has a price-to-book (P/B) ratio of 0.715, which is lower than Unicredit’s 0.825 and HSBC’s 0.82. The P/B ratio is also lower than other banks like JPMorgan (NYSE:JPM) and Morgan Stanley (NYSE:MS).
Third, Lloyds Bank has some positive outlook from analysts. Analysts at Deutsche Bank (ETR:DBKGn) believe that the company has more upside. The average Lloyds share price forecast by analysts is 60.7p, higher than the present 55p.

The daily chart shows that the LLOY stock price has pulled back in the past few weeks. It has dropped from the year-to-date high of 57.36 to the current 55p. The stock has remained above the 23.6% Fibonacci Retracement point and the 50-day and 100-day moving averages.
Most importantly, the stock has formed a bullish flag pattern, a popular positive sign. The accumulation/distribution indicator has also drifted upwards. Therefore, the stock will likely have a bullish breakout as buyers target the year-to-date high 57.35p, which is about 4.1% above the current level

I would hope Farage like Trump will be pretty consistent as an anti corruption/ black ops candidate. Considering a term is only four years what other options do the two have? For me it demonstrates a courage of their convictions.

[gotnorolex] 19/6/2024 09:45

scruff I see Farage in the Trump mould of either suing or blackballing any one with an opposing view! More often than not on the same page as these two, on many burning issues of national importance, without the bilious approach!

Bank of England set to hold interest rates again after almost a year at 5.25%


Interest rates have been at 5.25 per cent since August 2023, and look set to stay there

Possibly Skinny...but look around the corner first ;-))

"Lost count of how many times he got rejected by voters!
MEP hitman! Big BREXIT influencer but only from the outside!"

Maybe this is his year?

Regarding why UKIP only got one seat at the General Election was because we don't have a proportional representation in this country, simple really.

I'd suggest his influence, his personality and his conviction, shows the general public he has backbone.

You show me ANY of the main parties leaders that can point to this level of conviction?

It's OK, I'll wait.....

[gotnorolex] 19/6/2024 09:03

bulltradept... Here's a dictum for Farage!
"Every man is the architect of his own fortune"
Lost count of how many times he got rejected by voters!
MEP hitman! Big BREXIT influencer but only from the outside!
