Looking at the whole package - DC + BJ - I suspect some folk may be inclined to give them a little 'benefit of the doubt', at least in the S/T. With shops re-opening over the next 3-4 weeks, some may be inclined to move on.

Where it goes from here, will very much depend on events and developments. Will we see any meaningful second wave, for example? Will the polls bomb?

BoJo due to speak on the telly at 7.00pm, twenty minutes away.

Well, all over puffed by the bloody media yet again!

I never promised you a rose garden ... he is late

Tweet from Andrew Bridgen, who is a mate of Cummings, in the Brexit camp:

Many have judged Dominic Cummings without hearing his side of the story. That will change this afternoon and will be unprecedented. It’s possible that people will be surprised.

4.00pm, in the Rose Garden.

Vicki Young thinks he's unlikely to resign, but is leaving that possibility on the table.

There are many thousands of tweets, essentially making the same point - that Theresa May resigned exactly one year ago today and, until the buffoon's performance this evening, she was easily the worst PM in this country's history. But not any more...

Personally, I despair.

Add: Cummings has been reported to police over lockdown journey - Daily Mirror

blatant cronyism

As predicted Boris is getting hammered on twitter.

Dominic Cummings seems to enjoy more influence over Boris's Cabinet than Grigori Rasputin over the Romanovs.

Rasputin was murdered in December 1916, not by the Bolsheviks, but by noblemen who considered that he had too much power.

Will history repeat itself?

Anyone else think HSBC is in a spot of trouble with the Hong Kong rhetoric? A bank to definately avoid in a sector to avoid...

[dope007] 22/5/2020 08:34

Insurance is a good sector to look at. Pensions have changed now though. annuities are totally worthless so equity drawdawn will be the main stay which of course is very risky. Central Banks have ruined pensions with what they have done to rates due to refusing to deal with the debt explosion in 2008

IMO Choosing the right sector is key to investing

FTSE 350 Banks

China injecting some realism into things overnight I see. Need to start looking at a basket of stocks to buy over the next 6 months. RBS is one of them but not until we have more economic certainty and this could easily be below 100p

[portside1] 22/5/2020 07:10

The directors are all doing very well they did not lose there div given millions of more shares to cover it

[buywell3] 21/5/2020 21:16

Rather negative interest rates buywell would favor giving every UK passport holder and UK taxpayer with over 10 years of payments record

10,000 pounds per person

Those with 5 years to 10 years 5,000 pounds per person

Called Helicopter Money , this is likely to be done in several countries IMO

The Helicopter Money could be drip fed into peoples bank accounts over 10 payments

Those without a bank account would have to contavt a Government Claim Office to give ID info

Otherwise the monies could be splashed on daft Stock Market purchases or sent abroad to help nefarious enterprises

boris' standing with the people would rise and the Tory party be a shoo in next time round especially if this was timed with an end to EU negotiations plus a hard trade deal announcement together with a NO 39 Billion EU payment for no deal progress and an announcement that this 39 BILLION WOULD BE SPENT ON NHS NEW ICU UNITS STAFF INCREASES AND EQUIPMENT

IMO dyor

[sux_2bu] 21/5/2020 18:49

All the folk who bought at 250p and probably 1000p 12 years ago.

You want to be more scared of Bailey the clown he will bust the BOE , is your money safe in any bank under this clown
