the cost of a Labour Government at that to our deficit of 1.6 trillion and we have "hello Venezuela"

Cox was very good. Tough act to follow but she has to deliver the speech of her career or she will be toast or at best as one of dear friends suggested another frog slowly being boiled in a laboratory experiment

Geoffrey Cox Attorney General up now TM next i think

Its a shame that Redfern and his board are content to look the other way whilst the shareholders get raped on a daily basis.

Seeing a more than half ampty hall is not particularly inspiring imo. Its a real shame that the governing party is putting self interest above the national interest. Corbyn and co must be laughing their a£ses off. At leat they managed to fill the concert hall with a rent -a- mob. I know its illusory but nonetheless lesser informed individuals fed on an overload of left wing propaganda from the BBC may be fooled by this. A striking similarity right now between events in the Conservative Party and Manchester United

sterling has been rising on the back of a possible breakthrough deal wise. Would be great if tat was true and the Cons were able to announce this at their conference.

re run of last night. very amusing very scary for the remainers

Nothing controversial just yet. Been listening all day its all pretty tame. No hysterical ranting as was the case last week. Opportunity opportunity opportunity, the world is gain our oyster as it was in the past before signed that stupid piece of paper 40 years ago. Applause has been polity rather than rapturous perhaps lots of knifings going on back stage. I am sure our honest media chums Laura Keunsberg and Nick Robinson will give us their unbiased review of events soon

last very long! heho

whatever the thinking behind SD on foreign "investors" in our london market, It impact is likely to be very minimal o our company. Listening to Cons conference it does not appear to me that help to buy is going any time soon.

the grubby manipulators are out in force again sadly

to amaze me how the price of a FTSE 100 company can be manipulated one share at the time. Easy money for member firms, the rest of us have to deal with a false market

Right now I think you'd be hard pushed to find a business generating the same levels of cash. What other industry sectors return the same amount of cash to its shareholders? Ad i have said before Mankind has been building houses ever since deciding to leave caves - its not rocket science.

how "pundits" and their media sidekicks are able to undermine sentient in a sector during the times between reporting periods. Time and time again we are told we are at "peak cycle" and "valuations are stretched" "the market is saturated ", "margins have come under pressure" only to be told by the companies themselves that earnings are up voiumes are up , land banks are up, sales are up, over books are up, margins are up. cash is up returns of capital are up, dividends will be up. Its obvious to all that the financial media believes house prices must fall. They of course have been saying this for the best part of a decade and the reasoning is subjective to say the least. Its a simple business, buy a plot of land and build a house. Nothing more nothing less. What is so hard to grasp.

Its not just non EU immigration, its EU immigration as well come on!

Its an established fact that Labour opened the doors of this country to a flow of migrants. While this may have had some merit at the time as a way of addressing a a shortage in the workforce particularly within the State sector, over the years that followed the flow continued unabated but by and large alareg proportion of the influx found employment and thus "contributed to society and paid for services used" Succesive Governments in the post Labour era then set about lifting "people out of poverty by raising the tax threshold. This of course had the impact of reducing revenue inflow requiring the better off aka the "broad shoulders" to do more of the "heavy lifting" and pay more tax. This as we all know was not a zero sum game and social services of all kinds starting to come under funding pressure and falling short in providing the ever increasing demand for housing, benefits, health, schooling and so on. Hacked off with having to pay more and more for less under successive budgets some of the broad shoulders started to leave for pastures new. Sadly this is where we find ourselves today. We now have too many people in this country relying on social benefits which they are not paying for through taxation. The genie is well nd truly out of the bottle and even if the flow of migrants fall to zero we will be no closer to remedying the situation. The only way is to raise taxes from those that have been lifted out and reduce the burden on the heavy lifters as failing to do so willl see even more opting to leave

we have had another scruffy one before, Michael Foot who was being paid by the KGB. MI5 think Corbyn poses a national security risk- they should know.

dividend paid tomorrowrrow

that said. I can't imagine our EU "chums" would be too happy at the prospect either seeing many of the EU investments in UK infrastructure renationalised and industry subsidised. Not sure Brussels has the ability to cope with an extreme form of communism not seen since the twenties and thirties anymore than they have now with the resurgence of the populist right. Would not be surprised if Junckers, Macron and Merkel will take a step back if that looks like the remotest of possibilities of occurring.

while no fan of UKIP, if that kicks Corbyn and has marxist thugs into political oblivion, well so be it. Maybe then will we get a sensible, democratic Labour Party in opposition. Listening to the "Labour Party" conference its astonishing to hear the same delusional c@ap being peddled as it is in Cuba and Venezuela. I have said it before financial hoodlums such as as Odey and Soros have a had a field day betting against the Brexit process and its negative impact on the Pound. This will turn out to have been chump change if the intelectually challenged party in opposition get within sniffing distance of Number 10
