"but at the moment he has no mandate to run the country from the electorate and no one really knows what he stands for"

Mandate was given by the electorate at the last general election. The electorate doesn't choose the leader the party does,

@Gray1, it doesn't matter what people think they are voting for; what matters is who they are actually voting for. The fundamental problem in this country is that the majority do not understand how a parliamentary democracy works, nor do they understand the actual electoral process and rules. People demand the right to vote but don't want to understand the constitutional responsibilities that come with it. You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make it drink.

Personally, I would prefer we had proportional representation in this country, with the Prime Minister chosen by the members of parliament. However, as is often seen, parties suggest this is an excellent idea while they are in opposition, but when they are elected, that idea quickly falls by the wayside. We saw this with Reform when they secured only a handful of seats at the 2024 general election; had proportional representation been in play, their seat count would have been significantly higher. Now that current polling suggests they could win the next general election under First Past the Post, that enthusiasm for electoral reform has conveniently been forgotten.

We already know their exact operational parameters because they were fully detailed in the 26th May RNS. The company explicitly stated they were rigging up to address the stuck equipment at Inez #1. If the retrieval succeeds, they look at the hydrogen coring option; if it doesn't, they leave it in place and move straight to re-perforating the Souris River interval for helium production.

Since both paths have already been approved and disclosed to the market, executing either one is just standard operations. They don't need to issue a new RNS simply to confirm they are proceeding with the re-perforation fallback if the fishing tool fails. A new RNS will only be triggered when they hit conclusive new data, such as final flow rates or production volumes, or if they choose to abandon it entirely.

@Gray1 And what would happen as a result the general election in 2029 who would be voted in on what policies and how would the outcome differ within the first two years that hasn't occurred now?

As Andy Burnham has not yet been fully clear on the direction he would take as Prime Minister, nobody knows if they will ultimately wish they had kept their mouths shut rather than demanding Starmer’s resignation. As it stands, Starmer will continue in a caretaker capacity until a new PM is formally appointed.

His precise policy direction remains under heavy scrutiny. Senior Labour figures, including Chief Secretary to the Treasury Darren Jones, have publicly noted that up to 100 Labour MPs have expressed reservations or requested greater clarity regarding Burnham’s economic platform. However, since Burnham is scheduled to deliver a series of policy speeches outlining his platform on devolution and the economy over the coming weeks, much of the current commentary is blind speculation and scaremongering.

@LeeRex, a general election does not vote for a Prime Minister; it votes for a local constituency representative. The mandate delivered in 2024 gave the majority party the legal right to govern and manage matters of state for a full term, which includes their elected MPs choosing a leader under internal party rules. This is standard constitutional practice in a parliamentary democracy, not a constitutional crisis.

It was announced in the Spring statement but its not something new its how it was originally put together when S&S ISA's were first introduced and it was removed in 2014 because it turned into an administrative headache. Tax free on share gains including dividends just interest taxed on cash balance @22%, cash isa still ringfenced against tax. If you're over 65 you still have a £20,000 limit on your cash ISA and can still transfer cash between accounts and for everybody else the cash ISA is being reduced to £12,000 per year and you can't transfer cash between your stocks ISA and your cash ISA.The changes come into effect from next April

People are just impossibly impatient believe the company should update at least twice a day and if they get that then go off on a strop. 22 days since the last update guys some companies only post when the accounts are due.

The problem with AB is that people only hear about his accomplishments but don't hear about all the half finished projects with his name attached littering Greater Manchester and the completed projects such as the Manchester equivalent of the Ulez zone that he changed his mind about leaving the infrastructure to rot unused but that still cost a total of £37.73 million. He even spent close to £200,000 to have stickers stuck to signs telling people he had changed his mind followed by £600,000 to have the signs taken down that he had spent money on to put up.

To back up the point I unblocked him just now for a couple of minutes, checked through his posting histroy and found the 'abhorrent post in question that he redistributed to LSE chat yet again just two days ago on LLoyds chat that he has himself admitted to not holding and only went there to wran others of my terrible posting. Strange that when you look at my posting history you are faced with courteous posts and not an insult in sight will most on topic whatever that topic happened to be at the time. Anyway, back to the point . Here is a link to the thread:

I blocked Punter ages ago, he still follows me around like a hurt puppy, tossing insults left and right. Whenever I post on a thread, it’s not long before he shows up. Once, when I accused him of stalking, he suggested I might be following him, but his own posting logs clearly show his posts come after mine, not before. You should ask him to produce the supposedly abhorrent post he claims I made, which the moderators removed for being indecent. He said he showed it to his solicitor with the intent to sue, but she apparently couldn’t stop laughing enough to respond after she saw his posting log. It’s so “abhorrent” that he enjoys repeating it over and over again as if its a badge of honour. Maybe it is.

Clear as mud then. Time will give us the answer

They're still in my shares ISA on HL but the value has been zeroed and my invest account with T212 is still showing them as active. The London Stock Exchange still has it listed on AIM as suspended so not delisted yet. I assume we will know one way or another shortly.

@jme1976 You are actively trying to save face, but you are still confusing private corporate data access with public open-source searching.

Statutory undertakers (like EE, National Grid, or water authorities) have access to land ownership maps, land registries, and GIS tracking databases. They use this data to identify land management boundaries for planning infrastructure such as installing a 5G box on an existing telecommunications mast. In theory GDPR protects privacy but as we all know if we know somebody who works for somebody who works for a company that accesses land as part of their job they can access this information as its a requirement for both health & safety and to carry out their tasks.

Even DEFRA as part of their Data confidentiality and disclosure protection Statement explicitly tells keepers not to give out their CPH numbers precisely because they are not matters of public record they are protected, internal security codes used strictly for official documents and biosecurity tracking but you know this already so why are you attempting to have me breach DEFRA rules?

@GangsterPugs You have room to talk reading your posting logs.

For anyone unclear on what a CPH (County Parish Holding) number actually identifies, DEFRA and the Animal and Plant Health Agency (APHA) spell it out very simply. A CPH is an internal location identifier used within government systems for disease control and livestock tracking it is not a matter of public record, nor is it a standard postal address registry. However, information can be obtained by official bodies so the farm identifier stays private. my number starts with 17 which signifies county is followed by 095 which signifies parish but my last four digits stays between me and DEFRA which signifies farm.

A CPH number identifies:

The Specific Land/Buildings: The exact geographic location where livestock are kept, mapped directly to the specific National Grid field numbers submitted during registration.

The Registered Keeper: The individual or entity responsible for the animals, linked internally to a Single Business Identifier (SBI) or Customer Reference Number (CRN).

The Activity: The specific species kept on that land (cattle, sheep, goats, pigs, poultry, etc.).

The Tenure: Whether the land is owned, rented, or forms part of an existing agricultural holding.

I do know how to answer that but you know as well as I do that identifies my farm as well as my livestock and there is no way on this planet I am going to share my home address to everybody who uses this forum. You could however answer my original question couldn't you.

My average in Sandisk is $27.69 which i bought last year before the monumental rise, and I bought my Micron investment just last week for $927.17. I’m not worried they rise as quickly as they fall. If the fundamentals look good tomorrow night, everything should retrace back to the highs; if not, it’s likely already settled at the new floor.

He has only been sworn in as an MP it will be some time before he has the power to do anything like that. Get a grip man!

You initially said it was something that concerned you directly, but now it’s just an example, which doesn’t answer the original question. You seem like someone who doesn’t understand questions, let alone know how to answer them.

I do wish that was true but currently stocks on tech that covers the AI revolution have dropped around 5%-8% today on the cautioned results of Micron Technology tomorrow. I say cautioned as this is due to Broadcom hitting its own target but not beating the targets set by the market
