Wrong again Roo. We have seen that JC gets his scripts from Vladimir not Boris. Makes a lot of sense from Vlad's point to have some useful idiots playing with the UK's military toys and provide him with how it all works. Furthermore I am sure jezza will help Vlad in stitching up a few of the Motherland's "enemies" living in this country and line them up for a polonium tea party or a bit of novichock deodorant.

hand it the Vladimir Putin and his team of scriptwriters for sending Jezza the "leaked" "NHS is for sale" document to be brandished at press conferences as the "smoking gun" and then to be picked up by Red Nicola to do the same. lol! priceless ! Who needs Diane to make gaffs?

Funny as this is, it is dangerous as the media is quick to jump on board and willing to "authenticate" regardless of proof. Thi is seen in our share price as spot polls lurch one way or the other as does our currency. Money is being made by the wrong people and the power lies clearly in the hands of those that disseminate this "fake news". The flurry of upgrades is not surprising as Llloy is fundamentally in much better shape than its most of its peers as shareholders stepped in to support the company in its hours of need. It would be nice to think that as we leave this nonsense behind us in 2020, we the shareholders after 10 years or more of misery begin to get rewarded for our loyalty and support of the BoD

POTUS needs to come up with a "deal" soon I think. JP's levers are not big enough.

Serial liar ? What are the series of lies ?

The point I was trying to make is that we have sacrificed our identity on the altar of political correctness with Santa Claus replaces by a penguin - just saying

Conservatives in name only. We certainly do not want to entertain the resurgence of the hard right we are seeing in Europe. But conservatives have filled the centre ground of British politics post Blair. Cameron started his big society which has been perpetuated to this day and has become over accommodative to political correctness thereby sacrificing our identity , heritage and values we now have the choice between extreme left, left and social conservatism.

True ! Sadly 2 people lost their lives and more were injured. Our legal system used by all and sundry to thwart democracy has now failed to protect innocent individuals from a nutter who should never have been released. Humanity is the weakness so eagerly promoted by the hard left zealots like chakrabati, Corbyn at al. The dangerous morons just cannot get their tiny minds around the fact that a radicalised thug is completely different from a bank robber when considering parole

Apparently they had done some time as HM. Guests

on London Bridge may be unsettling market as well, Bridge closed off at the minute one guy "shot" by police

The hunt for yield has and will play a big role with interest rates set to remain at low levels. Market dynamics. The nightmare scenario for the rental sector will be to have rents capped and borrowing rates to go up to defend Sterling. Be careful what you wish for.

She will be brought out the week before the election. She is an 8 furlong specialist- fresh legs, fresh vision, fresh impetus.

Because nobody knows how much is needed to solve the myriad of issues. Publicly funded social and health services are enshrined in our constitution so it is something all governments have to live with are committed to finding the funding to keep it ticking over. That, however, is not enough we have growing and ageing population dependent on free at source health and social care. It's clear that the simple answer is that tax receipts have not kept pace with the growing and changing demands on social services. The reality is that to improve vast sums of money will be needed certainly well in excess of what can be raised from that handful of individual that already pay most of the tax. Maybe the Lib Dems have answer everyone pays a penny on the rate. this posted will be deleted in 5 minutes.

I think you are overlooking the shareholders. The taxpayers got all their money back and some courtesy of the "facilitation" fees. The regulators forced an asset sale on the bank not dissimilar in intellectual reasoning as Gordon Brown's sales of our gold reserves. The shareholders were the ones that took it in the rear to prop the bank and HMG and have yet to be recompensed.

Has come for Lloy to love it’s HQ south of the border. Unless the decent Scottish people stand up for the Union and are prepared to ore against the xenophobic rantings of deluded arch left winger it’s best to conclude we are not welcome in the Scotland that has emerged under the cosh of the anti democratic SNP . They are failing the Scottish people on all fronts yet the small percentage that keeps them in power seems able to force the agenda. Let them go

echos of the Dennis Healey era. scary stuff indeed

On a similar note Nicola did not fair too well with Andrew Neil just saying

We have been a long term downtrend since 2009 in essence. Since then we have seen continuing earnings improvement despite the onerous macro back ground and the presence of HM Treasury on our register. We have paid off the Govt and PPI and still managed to pay a decent divi and even bought back a handful of shares. We have had to endure a deluge of scaremongering stories wrt Brexit since mid 2016 invariably projecting the death of the UK economy as a consequence of the Leave vote. The economy has held up remarkably well as have earnings and NIMS. By the middle of this month we may be in a position to put two of the key political price drivers to bed paving the way for a more sustainable fundamentals driven rally into 2020.

Its early days but I have seen a majority of 48 so far, It needs to go up further from here juts to make sure. Even so, tee is no room for complacency as we have a long way to go and MSM will do what it can to put a spanner in the works with disinformation etc. Indeed the latest projected majority figure could be just that, a ruse to keep conservative voters at home.

erm its already happened hence the strain on our infrastructure. Thank you New Labour and Tony Blair

Hopefully he can do well enough in Lib Dem and Labour seats to pick up a few?
