Bargain

Put the vote to all England Scotland would be independent.

Put the vote to all Scots in England the vote would be No.

Within the EU independence is a myth, however I voted to stay in the EU.

Schroders closed up 2.6% and Lloyds Banking Group up 1.5% after the Financial Times reported the lender plans to hire more than 700 financial advisers to support its new wealth management partnership with fellow FTSE 100 constituent Schroders.

BBC are unbelievable. Blaming Brexit for slowing growth. They conveniently ignore the figures from rest of Europe until chancellor slipped it in that Italy face recession and UK doing better and forecast to do better than other Euro countries including Germany. BBC are not giving up their crusade to undermine Brexit!

Well I'm pretty much back to where I was 12 months ago.feels like a wasted investment year. That said, better this than what happened in 2008, plus the added benefit of regular divis rolling in. I guess everything should be 'priced in 'including the continuing effects of uncertainty, either way, when this deabarkle resolves itself we should hopefully see some good returns across the market place. For me the uncertainty is a bigger problem than any of the outcomes not featuring JC.

what is 'less bad' = Admission of failure

MrE - that is the only argument in town now - what is 'less bad'.

Which cliff do you want to fall over? A "no deal" one, where the economy contracts for just six months ,or a Theresa withdrawal deal where for a minimum of 3 years Europe can set regulatory hurdles to make our products completely uncompetitive.

And during that time there is not a damn thing we can do because we will have signed up to a TREATY.

Some of these trade associations[and the bloody CBI] need to wake up and smell the coffee...but mostly they are too thick and easily led to think for themselves..or after a gong.

"No deal" will cause upset...but the alternative is ten times worse....with no eventual solution.

and it is the only alternative...there will be no second referendum and no extra time..

But ,hey, let's not let the facts intrude on our silent grief over the fact that the EU is finished and we are getting out just in time.

Polar fox - and you think that's an adult way to behave????

Waiting for the punchline!

Interesting tweet. Canned soup is on sale in my area, so I've stocked up with a few more!

"Sky News has seen a letter to Environment Sec Michael Gove from heads of more than 30 trade associations which says Britain's food industry is threatening to suspend co-operation with a series of Government consultations until "catastrophic impact of a no-deal Brexit" is resolved."

I suppose the kids on here will cry "Project Fear again"....

Where is the fart Jacko when you need him?

"Economy expands just 0.2% in fourth quarter of 2018 with Brexit looming"

ROFLMAO!

Here is to hoping you don't get brain cancer, a nasty form, and need to travel a little further to a hospital because the nearest one isn't finished. It isn't finished because of hedge-fund shorters amongst other things. Think about that, but not too hard, you might get a bit of a headache. It might even give you a nasty brain tumour - becoming a self-fulfilling prophecy, just like shorting. ROFLMAO!

NIESR's latest, issued at 2pm. It's no more encouraging than May still being PM.

"Main points

Latest economic data confirms that the UK economy lost momentum in the final quarter of 2018, with quarterly growth of 0.2%. GDP growth is set to remain weak in the first quarter of this year.


According to new ONS statistics published this morning, the UK economy expanded by 0.2 per cent in the final quarter of last year after growing by 0.6 per cent in the third quarter (three months to September). The outturn was slightly lower than the 0.3 per cent GDP forecast that we published last month for the same period, and reflected weaker output in December than we had expected. Building on the official data, our monthly GDP Tracker suggests that the economy will also expand by just 0.2 per cent in the first quarter of this year.


All major sectors showed a fall in output in December and, while single month figures can be volatile, the widespread weakness in output is a concern going into 2019.


Garry Young, Head of macroeconomic forecasting and modelling, said “The UK economy weakened sharply at the end of 2018, with falls in output in all of the major sectors in December. While single month figures can be volatile, the widespread weakness in official output data and many business surveys does not augur well for economic performance in the United Kingdom in 2019. Further downside economic news, including a costly exit from the EU, would strengthen the case for a more active policy response."

Neanderthal now.....that's a new one lol.
I do agree with you about the accountancy rules. When someone like Woodford says along lines of that the information produced by companies to meet legal requirements is insufficient basis for investment decisions then something isn't right. Perhaps the more frequent use of interim trading statements is helping. There was also talk of the audit process being reviewed by the Govt. so there must be concerns.
Yes Major started PFI, but then embraced by Labour under Blair and Brown...say no more.
Ignorance and incompetence may be reasons for failure but they are not excuses. Where companies get off track and are unable to put things right themselves the market will do it for them.....no problem.
