Redfern had his neck saved by his shareholders a couple of years later. You would not think that when you hear him these days. The man owes big time.

Slowly but surely the rise coming from the Continent seems to be getting more "accommodating " in order to strike a "deal" thats acceptable to both camps. This is no surprise of course as some on this Board have long pointed out. The commercial risks to the EU bloc exceed the risks to our economy as trade balances have shown time and time again. The EU have fought hard to undermine the will of the people in the country and undermine confidence in our ability to survive let alone thrive in the absence of Brussels oversight. The have used the Remain camp and the socialist media to persistently sap morale. Barnier was given a free hand until it became apparent that we seemed top grow more serious in pursuing our thereat that " no deal is better than a bad deal" and we started to see ministerial resignations as political 'red lines' started to be drawn wrt to positions thereby setting up a possible leadership challenge and a move away from an accommodative stance.

Good employment data later today will put further blue sky between Carney's Project Fear and reality wrt the economy and see a further strengthening of Sterling and hopefully for us here a further appreciation of our share price as we move towards the glass being half full. Strengthening Sterling should have a moderating impact on inflationary pressures and help offset some of the pressures coming from wage growth giving the BOE more leeway than they deserve in setting their rates. its early days but right now I would not want to be short Sterling.

Sterling has firmed- that is true. This is nothing what still to come if indeed we are truly heading into a workable agreement given the short position Odey and the likes have built up in Sterling. we get a breakthrough or they get the wink they are either toast or will have to scramble for safety. I suggest you keep a close eye on Sterling vs its peers to get a real indication of how close we are rather than what appears in the media.

to look at SP to see its being manipulated by algos. Real data such as we have had this morning and on Frida have no impact on the SP. Its the "surveys" that have been programmed in. The actual dat reported over the last coupe of days seems to corroborate what companies have reported . There new build sector is not on its knees and customers and not backing off to any extent. Mortgage availability remains excellent and the Govt is not going to scrap HTB. Hedgies and their scummy prop desk mates are feeding duff information into the market through non objective media outlets. The Financial Authorities have done a great job in facilitating this kind of information manipulation as Mifid II has neutred what little financial analytical coverage used to be available.

If we had ID cards we would be no better a destination than anywhere else. It’s only here you can come in and go offgrid

Agreed. hope it lasts. Nice to see that some Chief execs have the b3lls to say the they don't see the environment "commentators and pollsters " see in the housebuilding sector. Bdev yesterday and BVS today. If our Board spent a bit less time on the golf course and has a bit more interest in the company they are running one our behalf we might not be one of the worst manipulated house builders i the sector.

Ab resistant superbug spreading through hospitals unnoticed

correct of course the emphasis is on not :)

"NHS covering up toll of deadly superbugs" " The NHS is hiding the the scale of drug resistant superbugs because hospitals are admitting when patients die from them. "

The BoD either didn't give a monkeys as to whether or not shareholders get shafted or they are staring into the headlights. While I understand that its not their responsibility to micro manage the share price they should look at what the sentiment is driving share price movement. In this instant there is a false market where the market " does not seem to understand" the economic conditions driving the performance of the company or its resistance or ability to withstand changes perceived or otherwise in the market in general. That is a management failure and one of poor communication. TW has brokers which are responsible for conveying corporate thinking and performance to the market at large. The company has allowed "misunderstanding" to wipe 25% off shareholder value. There is no excuse for this. It is poor management

Select Committee now Charlie Elphick laying in to Carney and his team trying defend statements made wrt Project Fear

yeah right. "Difficult conditions" Price rises slowing down to 2% volumes stable. operatinging margins rising, land costs attractive - sp down 25%. Some adjustment

absurd overreaction to survey data. Its getting really tiresome how thus share is jerked around by prop desks on fast minuscule trades. Pathetic for a FTSE company

Headlines aimed at giving the sector one more kick in the knackers presumable before the hedgies can close their shorts. HTB has been a true vote winner for the Conservatives but personally its right to ensure that those its meant for get first dibs rather than the chancers who are playing the system too their own ends. As such housebuiders such as TW have nothing meaningful to fear as from an financial impact

How many other FTSE 100 BoD's can take credit for wiping £1bn off shareholder value in matter of a month or so. Great effort.

nobody from the bOE - odd

Come now too difficult a question! A bit like Daleks and stairs.

I am sure I would have as that paper is also banned in our household :)

this mornings headlines FWIW, It seems that the big EU members have done some back of the envelope calculations and have come to the conclusion that from their perspective of course financially its better to have a deal wit Britain than not. So we are now talking about " concentric circles" with the EU in the middle and us on the outer circle- a bit like Stonehenge- Its stand to reason therefore that given the growing willingness to forge a deal all the domestically focussed sectors such as housing and banks to name but a few which have trashed over the last year or so should recover once the more savvy institutional investors return to their desks after their two week break in Cornwall. I sincerely hope that Mark Carney can also keep his nose out and let Sterling receiver against the Euro and give the likes of Soros whats coming to them. The stakes are high for the UK but they are much much higher for the EU lets not forget that. Roll on September and the St Leger.
