Don't say that Rons a party member isn't he ?

Krono5,

Or.... 'Shutting Iran’s oil wells may be straightforward – but the consequences are not

Why shutting down Iran’s oil wells could cause lasting damage far beyond the current Strait of Hormuz crisis'

'John Swinney has stepped up his calls for Holyrood to be given control over energy, insisting it is the only way to end the current “Westminster rip-off”.

The Scottish First Minister said handing over energy powers would allow his Government to end the “hated” windfall tax on oil and gas – formally known as the energy profits levy.'

'He also said it would allow for “sensible licensing decisions” to be taken on new energy projects, and could cut bills for people across Scotland.

He was speaking ahead of campaigning in Aberdeen – where much of the UK’s oil and gas industry is based – in the run-up to a Commons by-election.'

'BREAKING: Israeli officials are now privately urging the Trump administration to completely abandon Iran negotiations, assassinate Iran's lead negotiator Ghalibaf, and immediately restart strikes targeting Iran's oil and energy infrastructure to trigger "regime change" in Tehran, while not caring about the massive impact of the expected Iranian retaliation on Gulf energy infrastructure, per a classified US intelligence assessment.

Trump has already privately been backing away from the deal since Sunday under "extreme internal pressure from Israel and its US domestic allies," urging him not to accept Iran's terms, per sources close to his negotiation team.

Based on this, an Iranian official is saying Iran has absolute "zero trust" in Trump and the US word in any agreement, adding it "cannot regard Trump's decision as definitively finalized until the financial markets close at the end of this week," with the concern Trump will formally end the deal and restart strikes at the last moment.'

'BREAKING: Iran says the Trump administration is now desperately "requesting an agreement multiple times a day through various channels," to unilaterally claim a deal has been agreed, with Iran rejecting each of these requests, saying it will not respond until Iran's terms and goals are "fully achieved" and accepted, which is far from current reality, per a source close to Iran's Ghalibaf.'

It might be worth asking I.R. why FCF and net debt figures were not included ?

Revsheep,

The potential buyers list is huge, any of the larger housebuilders, Private Equity, Vulture fund, Blackstone has been on a UK property buying spree.

'Massive Acquisitions: Blackstone has acquired or agreed to purchase over 4,500 new-build homes, including a £580 million deal with Vistry in 2024 and a previous deal for 2,800 homes.

Leaf Living Platform: The firm uses its Leaf Living platform to purchase suburban homes, managing them as long-term rental properties.

Sage Homes Partnership: Through Sage Homes, they have become a major provider of shared ownership and affordable rental homes, supporting the development of thousands of new units.

Strategy: They focus on building institutional-grade, single-family rental portfolios to provide stable, long-term rental income.

Market Impact: These acquisitions are part of a broader trend of institutional investors buying UK residential property, which is increasing standards but also causing concerns about reducing homes available for individual buyers.

Blackstone's strategy is driven by the significant undersupply of housing in the UK, aiming to deliver high-quality rental stock while generating returns for investors. '

Anyone still think this is a bargain.

That 180p TP is getting closer......

SELL'

When Irans oil wells get shut in quite soon they will be the ones in the do do. As they are ideologues they will most likely allow this to happen.

Higher oil price will boost the US and damage China's economy. Trump is low IQ but must have some decent advisors and strategists.

Goldenbadger1,

Spot on I have been an investor in TATE and I can tell you it traded around 700 to 825p just 3 years ago, the offer at 595p is not great for their shareholders but great for the traders buying in the 300s

Very insightful, they could at least put it at 575 ( if bearish on deal falling through ) or 615 ( if bullish on second bidder or improvement in bid)

On 12th May GLG Partners increased their short on TATE to 0.89%, price on 12th 365p total shorts on TATE totaling 6.39% or £103million in value. Similar in value to 12.39% shorts here at £113million.

They've just had a takeover offer at 595p ouch !
