Well this is fun!


The former business sectary, Vince Cable, has said today that the only basis on which the PM could have given Nissan the assurances it required was an uneqivocal promise that the UK will remain in a "customs union" with the EU.




From wiki ...


The European Union Customs Union (EUCU) is a customs union which consists of all the member states of the European Union (EU), Monaco, and some non-EU territories of the United Kingdom (Akrotiri and Dhekelia, Bailiwick of Guernsey, Bailiwick of Jersey, and the Isle of Man).[1] Some territories within the EU do not participate in the customs union, usually as a result of their geographic circumstances. Through agreements, the EU is in customs unions with Andorra, San Marino, and Turkey respectively, with the exceptions of certain goods.

Marmite most certainly gives me the runs.

[tradejunkie2] 28/10/2016 15:33

Had a curry and beer last night.

No runs as yet.

My target for this lovely Scottish establishment is set to a modest 220p.

Moeen Ali took 5 wickets to skittle out Bangladesh. Pity three of England's top order were skittles out too. Should be a good contest when play resumes tomorrow. Root and Ali were still at the crease when rain stopped play today.

Shame that RBS's share price has given-up its earlier gain. Not sure what happens next. The Presidential election (8 November) seems to be weighing on the US Market. We all know what is weighing on London Market. Whatever the long term plusses and minuses, for now, at least, uncertainty seems to be creating volatility.

I know!!...We'll get Trump to run RBS!!!!

Never did have much time for democracy did he, more interested in self promotion and warmongering. As for the wide mouthed frog look what she did with her civil rights legislation. What a pair.

£1.5m per day for "restructuring"I guess these consultants are on day rates, not paid to get the job finished.

Ftse weakness smashed the banks this week. If we had been sat at 7100 all of these would of flown !

They seem well ahead of 2016 targets, British and EU banks seem to have had a "good" quarter.

Having said that, it's 7 years on now and there's still a pile of litigation, misconduct reviews etc.

Where does this all end?


The calamitous attempt to separate W&G seems a colossal waste of money - especially given that there seems no real point (improved competition) in them spinning-off this minnow.

[luisfrg] 28/10/2016 08:28

Let's hope that it wasn't just shorts closing that drove this up? Was up 11 now just 4???
