"No, that's you assuming (or worse trying to put words into my mouth)."

I asked the question because you posted a link for the Minister of State (Minister for Investment). with exceptional qualities.

My original thread made reference to AR housing Secretary & Ed Miliband Secretary of State for Energy & Climate Change....in my opinion only, they are not fit for purpose.

Winstanley do you believe they are fit for purpose ??

@Winstanley

Are you suggesting that labours pick of AR has the CV to back up her position as the UK Housing Secretary?

OR perhaps we should have ED heading new product development at GSK (I think not!)

The threat of wealthy people quitting the country is significant for Rachel Reeves, as 10 percent of earners pay 58% of all income tax, according to HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC)

Britain has witnessed the greatest exodus of multi millionaires in the world (16,000) since labour came to power, only China with a population over 1.3 Billion people has a higher count.

Outstanding stuff Rachel from accounts

Rachel from accounts holds an all time chancellor record.

August 10 year gilts higher than Liz Truss & @ 10 year highs.

August 30 year gilts @ 27 year high

The 🤡 needs to go, along with most of Labour plus the Tories and every other treasonous politician whose actions suggest that they despise the indigenous British people.

Stop illegal immigrants.....and balance the budget without more TAXATION.

Stimulate economic growth from lower taxation & lower energy costs for industry to become competitive (UK has some of the highest energy costs in the developed world)

Cull the public sector which in most cases is unproductive compared to the private sector.

Lower energy costs to all industry.....the UK has some of the highest energy costs in the developed world......it's killing growth a word that career politicians are clueless, they've never even run a micro business.

We have millipede at the helm of energy and has ZERO qualifications in the sector.

We have Raynar at the helm of housing and she hasn't the qualifications to work out 1 square meter of bricks 🧱 but she struts about with a yellow builders cap for photo pics.... pathetic that this 🤡 is at the helm of a housing. ....Bring in qualified captains of their industry.....would GSK appoint a none qualified person at the helm of their drugs development...no wouldn't, so why has the tax payer got to suffer unqualified idiots just because they are a political member.

It's time for change....the whole system is broken and is repugnant with floaters enriching themselves and lobbying rewards for their future wealth.

The USA are buying uranium from Russia with a contract until 2028.

They also are buying rare earth elements from Russia......well India exposed Trump as a hypocrite

India has been forced to buy Russian oil because Europe is taking all the middle east spare capacity which India used to rely on.

Trump threatening India with tariffs is nothing more than bullying to purchase USA LNG & oil.

What the Trump administration are not telling the world....America's largest customer China who is the largest consumer of LNG & Oil in the world have cancelled all USA supply's and in Asia have announced that China will be 100% energy free independent from the USA. (Trump thinking he can disrespect any nation when JD Vance called the people peasants) China has given Trump a betch slapping! oh yeh everyone rips of America.

Europe has funded Russia ever since the invasion into Ukraine.

I wouldn't trust Trump one single inch because it's in America's interest to destabilize Europe & who now controls Europe's dependence of energy (USA)

The BRICS are already dedollarising & moving towards their own banking system without SWIFT.

Trump is speeding up the demise of American control & dominance over the world.

Hi Crossley,

Nice 20% exit with CSN & your timing was an excellent entry level with STAN.....I added to my watch list (noticed a successful USA outcome).

Enjoy those profits....have a wonderful weekend.

PSN investors...same, have a wonderful weekend.

FT share the above numbers.

20 analysts offering 12 months price targets for BP.

High ....525.53p

Med......427.69p

Low .....347.64p

The analysts will adjust per Quarter, normally 5 days after trading update.

ATB

Year to Date.

SHEL + 5.34%

BP + 4.14%

1 Year

SHEL -2.54%

BP - 2.33%

BP dividends by far out way SHELL ...so there's not much between them unless one zooms out to 5 years.

I don't see any point rehashing old ground where we now have a voice with Elliot's. I'm confident that shareholders will see 20% upside ....year end 2026 towards Q1 2027.

Happy to hold ...gla

Puting pressure on further rate cuts.

10 year Gilts rise to ten year highs.

Higher than Liz Truss,

Well done Rachel from accounts....outstanding.

I'm all for the removal of stamp duty on purchased property especially for first time buyers....however does this mean that HB's will be taxed as the seller?

@Undercrackers ....well said 👏👏👏👏

@SUFCESSEX,

Morning.....Lloyd's shares certainly had us on the edge, if memory serves me right you had a decent holding of shares (650,000).

A few of us bailed too early.....like you say, up 50% now.

LGEN is a fantastic passive income play for now or the future.

Enjoy those well earned holidays, courtesy of LGEN :)

Right or wrong....I added at the open.
