Missing you already !

Labour in power for 5 years.

Why should they give a damn about public opinion until the next election.
They should get on with it, do the unpopular things and start to worry about the next election in about 4 years time.

All of the opposition do not count, including Nigel.
Their status is that of a football crowd, just so much noise.

Thatcher did what she wanted to do, tough decisions that put her on a 25% approval rating at her low point.
She went on to win 3 elections.

Ignore the crowd, they do not matter.

I realize now that your posts are like sea cucumbers and best avoided. You are on filter, effective immediately.

Glorious here (all day) in Yorkshire.

Labour's first day in power.

Torrential Rain.

All day.

Reform not a wasted vote - a five year investment. Stansmith, you are really quite the dunce not to see that.

Furthermore, we have the free comedy of watching David Lammy on the world stage. That was worth losing all on its own.

Like Scruff, the last few days have seen torrential gains in the portfolio. Perverse, really.

Add tory and reform votes together and would have blown Starmer out of the water.

Has any politician?

[chinese investor] 05/7/2024 16:07

12p To 70p !

[gbh2] 05/7/2024 16:06

Exactly, as for making it through Growth,imo that was BS because Labour have no idea how to do that.

[utrickytrees] 05/7/2024 16:05

If your an ousted Tory MP with an appetite for politics you'd probably be considering having a chat with Nige to see what the opportunities are. He really needs to get a few of these on board I'd have thought.

gbh - probably a good move. The choices remain to reduce costs or increase taxes; difficult.

[polar fox] 05/7/2024 15:52

CI,

Are we to take it, from 2178, that you have decided to follow my advice (in May) after all i.e. not to sell at 58p, but rather enjoy the likely ride to the 68-73p area? As I recall, you stubbornly clung to 58p at the time.
If so, you could do everyone a big favour please by stopping your tedious habit of posting every 1p change in the share price

[gbh2] 05/7/2024 15:48

Alp, it's my intention to sit it out until Labour decided who they're going to screw.

[alphorn] 05/7/2024 15:45

gbh - no point in taxing non-profit making companies!

[mikemichael2] 05/7/2024 15:45

That's right, bonkers.

[gbh2] 05/7/2024 15:44

50% of my holding is now in cash, atm I've no idea where to put it :)

[smurfy2001] 05/7/2024 15:43

gbh2, l think if l was holding BP l might be watching closely.

[bulltradept] 05/7/2024 15:05

I know, four seats to seventy one wasn't it?

[geckotheglorious] 05/7/2024 14:51

"Labour will bring stability and growth to the economy"

Raising taxes higher.
Interest rates still high.

How will this bring growth exactly?

Tightening monetary policy and contractionary fiscal = recession/anaemic growth at best
