Nigel will have NOTHING to do with the tories.

He has said publicly that he does not like them as people.

He is a people person and a bloody good judge of character.
To have a dodgy party tied to your apron strings as well as the civil service BLOB would be too stupid to contemplate

New chancellor seems to understand that to get economic growth you have to work with the private sector not against it. So I am hopeful there won't be punitive taxation on the likes of banks who the govt needs to push along with investment.

Rachel Reeves has issued a damning assessment of the state of the UK’s finances.
The new chancellor of the exchequer said she was inheriting a depleted economy from the Conservatives that would create a “challengeR21; for the new Labour government.
“There’s not a huge amount of money there,” Ms Reeves told the BBC. “I know the scale of the challenge I inherit.”
Ms Reeves said she would lean on the private sector to cover the shortfall.
“Private-sector investment is the lifeblood of a successful economy. We need to unlock private-sector investment,” she said.

As the saying goes, only invest what you can afford to lose. So it's not like any of you are worth considering haha

As each day rolls, he will have to announce actual plans that he couldnt do before he won office. That will be fun

I do believe he is a genuine man for the people

But that wont be helping investors. Tbf though, the least important people anyway. Right to focus on the whole.

tame? he isn't even in a day yet

Well the Starmer effect has been pretty tame up to now. In fact this week my portfolio (mainly divi stocks, lloy, ng. uu the biggies) hit a new ath.

Although a natural Tory (and a reform voter this time) I'm quite pleased with what Starmer has said up to now. Softly softly, no massive effects on our lives, distancing from loony left etc. Although left of where I'd like, he seems no furthr left than Rishi, up to now (they're all obsessed with Net zero). He's a very intelligent guy, so lets hope his actions match his words.

Main danger for me is changing isas. Have to wait and see what he does, if anything, with those. Of course, he could do anything with anything, he never did say what he'd do in his manifesto. Tax raid on banks? Don't think so, at least not for a few years. I hope.

Spot on scruff in what you write about the tories

the markets MAY be up because Reeves will be a thousand times better than Hunt who knew about economics and finance absolutely

NOTHING
he was a chancer and no more ........ a lucky chancer to have walked away from his last dodgy foreign student business with £17 million.

Why should any of them ever change their minds?

It would destroy them as individuals to realise that they and they alone have destroyed the country and their beloved party.

On leaders, a couple of new boys shouldn't be overlooked & for me appear to have all the right credentials in bucket loads namely, Paul Holmes MP for Hamble Valley & Blake Stephenson, mid Bedfordshire. Its entirely possible Blake might take Paul to Bedfordshire because both are patrons of the 'LGBGTQ+conservatives' YAAAAWN...more identity politics.

Careful there is no we. Its us & them. We didn't vote for multiculturalism. They've fkd us over.

I can never accuse you of pseudo intellectualism scruff.
Your endless rants about Johnny Foreigner are anything but.

There is no 'British culture' anymore.
We are a multi ethnic, multi racial, multi secular society.
It is irreversible, get over it.

No good dreaming of past simplicities or the days of Empire.
The World map is not pink anymore.

Who would want to serve as Tory leader now...the deck is cleared out...any of them see as an opportunity to further themselves...probably be a temporary care taker...

[jl5006] 05/7/2024 19:46

Pleas careless - Heseltine ??? Never - just a traitor

[jl5006] 05/7/2024 19:06

Kneel "We did it"
No u did not. We did it
What a shambles - a party with no policies and no way of engineering growth - and the same mugs voted / votes were cast in their favour.
Guess migrants will get the vote together with 16s -Cant wait for the plan to emerge!
Might need a while though. Question of numbers adding up.
