They did it again on July 4th. Although it was largely a choice between the dark Blue frauds and the Red frauds. Badnock has let it slip the dark blues are still frauds. The light blues are the only hope.

Tories established 1834, hijacked by the liberals in 2010,Embarrassed by Brexit in 2016 & finally defeated by the Labour party who go on to form the worst government ever in 2024. The trend doesn't look promising. I suspect the appointment of a shires MP will be the tipping point from which the Tories can lay the finishing touches to their epitaph.

Julian HodgsonOh I get it now. Just as one loses ones keys or knocks over the milk jug accidentally, the Tories for 14 years:Raised taxes;Attacked landlords;Ran up record debts;Failed to stand up for British people and British interests.Etc etc.Oops a daisy, I seem to racked up 500billion pounds of debt. How did that happen? Well I never, I've driven thousands of buy to let landlords out of business leaving people homeless and destitute from rent increases. Tsk, tsk silly me.Why do you keep covering for them? These were not bugs in the program of government; they were features. They were the deliberate acts of a government of social democracy. Everybody said they would bring ruin and ruin they brought. Mistakes? The mistake was committed by the British people in trusting these hopeless frauds....Daily Telegraph

Problem is the Tories are the establishment party, with Reform the protest party! Farage has to win a Shire seat to shed the Jaywick image! He was a presenter on RT, was a rottweiler in the European Parliament, not sure what value he added to any legislation in the European union. Won an accolade for being the most effective UK campaigner of the BREXIT movement, kept company with bedfellow nutty Jeffery Bloom MEP. Then registered "Reform Party ltd" ( wonder what the articles of association are) won a few seats and a whole lot of new members to whom he's turned the party over to. My guess is he'll take what he can get from local election wins to gain creditability and eventually merge with the Tories to form a new party called....Con-Refs (to dodgy) or Ref-Cons and cause the extinction of Labour!
He'll have to quit GBN as presenter in good time, not to have OFCOM hot on his trail!

UK to send Ukraine $3 billion from Russian assets — news outlet

The United Kingdom is one of the Group of Seven members which agreed to use the profits of frozen Russian assets for a $50 billion loan to Ukraine

MOSCOW, January 16. /TASS/. London will send $3 billion worth of reinvested funds from frozen Russian assets to Kiev, the Ukrainian Insider news outlet reported following British Prime Minister Keir Starmer’s visit to Kiev.

Earlier, the British media specified that this tranche was planned to be issued in the form of a loan to Ukraine, which would be repaid at the expense of revenues made from Russia's frozen assets. At the same time, London intended to reserve the right to veto in regard to what weaponry Kiev would purchase with the funds received.

The United Kingdom is one of the Group of Seven (G7) members which agreed to use the profits of frozen Russian assets for a $50 billion loan to Ukraine.

In July, Kremlin Spokesman Dmitry Peskov said Russia would make sure to respond to the theft of its assets in Europe. He emphasized that Moscow plans to legally prosecute the people involved. According to the spokesman, Europe took the worst possible path by deciding to use Russia’s assets to help Kiev.

At the meeting yesterday, the Chancellor told bosses of agencies including the Competition and Markets Authority and the Environment Agency they must stop 'excessively focusing on risk'.
If that is not part of their job Y do they exist.
She -thieving is worse than US
Guess she has ignored risk in her strategy cos she would never have done what she intends to implement.

Always difficult for the party in power.

Doing well in the polls at this stage is like leading a marathon after 4 miles.
Long way to go.
Don't know how you can get so worked up so early.
Reform polled 4m votes and had 4 mp's at the election.

Already after only 6 months, Sir Kier, Racheal and Angela have driven the FTSE100 up to record levels.

I thought that growth meant making people wealthier, not depleting the accomplished of the fruits of their hard work! Taxing education into mediocrity, defenestrating one's inheritance and send them to a poorhouse to wallow in perpetual misery!

Taking the discussion back to Lloyds. I have today taken a big (for me) decision.
Whilst having a reasonable share portfolio I have never been a short term trader.
Today mid morning I sold about 120,000 Lloyds shares (from my and my wife’s ISAs) at a smidge under 60p. I will leave the cash in the ISA wrapper with a hope to buy all 120k back at 55p over the coming months but hopefully before divi date in April. I accept this is a risk but with all the volatility in the world, the ftse at record high and Lloyds pretty much at a few year high I’m happy to take a chance. Time will tell 😂
