Magpies don't make music, they chatter 'wock, wock wock-a-wock, wock, pjur, weer, weer'. Phew, at least the BOD didn't invest in that one ...

I'm a NWG shareholder, get me out of here. Wonder what Nigel will say about this tonight ...

Someone looking to sue NWG for 5.2m share options after resigning due to major faux pas. No doubt will want newly uncapped bonus paid as well as thankyou from board for resigning and taking the heat ...

Son of Tanfield ?

Car manufacturing not place to be during tough times, warfare, spiking commodity prices but this drop looks suspiciously overdone. Bad news somewhere ? Or time to buy ?

Bankers bonus cap scrapped so UK banks can attract top talent. Certainly needed here.

£2.8 billion in net interest income expected.

Proposed new ex Bank of Ireland CEO ideally placed to re-examine allegations that an alleged ‘fraud’ at Ulster Bank led to the mistreatment of business customers in N Ireland, as promised to City Watchdog.

HSBC downgrade to hold 260.

At least divi paid !

No beer ? IMO should keep the smaller breweries open. Wychwood (home to Hobgoblin) next to go, excuse being 'By making use of the break clause in our lease for Wychwood Brewery, we can consolidate our brewing network to achieve greater efficiency and productivity, supporting ongoing investment in our people and business'. So efficient there is not enough beer to go around. Do not believe Hobgoblin brewed elsewhere will taste the same.

OK I posted broker news earlier and I am down the pub garden consulting a Golden Hobgoblin who has just told me that the sp has increased by 7% ! Is there something other than broker note that is powering AAL ?

Damn, hot weather means there is not a single empty table in pub garden, and inside is rammed (not Youngs). To make matters worse, they have sold out of Pedigree on pump, thank god there are some bottles. Told by bar staff that scorching September, which is expected to continue over weekend, has ignited the blue touch paper and saved summer after wet August. Excellent news...

JPM 'overweight' but raised target to 2900 from 2650 - "remains our top pick with stronger value unlock potential". Hope their right.

Cables idea for dealing with Looney. Probably the only good idea he ever had. Surprised it has not been mentioned in connection with NWG miscreants ...

'when my husband ended our marriage' is a self-help book by Jacqueline Hurst who was married to u know who. Woman scorned must be enjoying this scenario, until the c*ck tax dries up ...

Deutsche interest ...

Deutsche Bank believes BT’s consumer division is in decent shape.

Plenty of ideas around convergence (?), customer experience and new products as well as cost opportunities via digital.

Frees up Kirkby to focus 'on more pressing projects' such as regulatory and employee relations, B2B, IT upgrades and headcount reduction.

Hold 145p target.

Wonder what price the other Deutsche has in mind, or has BT been left on shelf ?

No retail banking experience so not tainted by past banking follies sources claim. However, great article in Guardian describing his role in one of the worlds greatest financial scandals involving embezzlement of 1 bill from Malaysian wealth fund. Now faces questions over whether it was a misjudgment to work for the UK arm of the oil services firm PetroSaudi and whether he adequately responded to warnings of a scandal. Beyond belief ...

No official news, but according to Arab Weekly, ITP not expected to reopen before October, when Erdogan will likely visit Baghdad. Erdogan “wants an agreement to be signed” but “so far the concrete steps expected by Iraq have not yet been taken” .

Step 1 is a halt to the US litigation, step 2 et al all tough issues ...

Stifel NAV is 147, HOLD, but meaningless without ITP open...

Previous spikes were inspired by positive results, not of new drugs/treatments, but in legal proceedings concerning the Z word. IMO could be more of the same imminently.

FCA waffling in Telegraph today, continuing tomorrow. No specific mention of thrashing NWG. Fingers crossed that threatened fine does not materialise.

With Reuters, reaffirming his renewable strategy. IMO could throw bucket of cold water over sp, but may be wrong. Interesting he believes evs have won private transport battle when so many households simply are unable to charge from home.
