In the Guardian today

The Treasury has hinted that it would not initially take advantage of all the extra scope that a change to the debt rule would provide and would put “guard rails” in place to ensure investment projects deliver value for money. Sources said energy and transport projects would be a particular focus of capital spending in the budget on 30 October

Hmm. She probably got back from a Labour CND mtg and had it confirmed that Labour are firming up on an SMR deal, had a fit of peak and posted. Like a few on this forum do, but at least she wasn't rude or insulting.

Tax evasion is corrupt and can carry custodial sentences. Tax avoidance is legitimate

It wouldn’t surprise me if the budget limits the lifetime allowance that can be paid into an ISA. Say 200k. Which is 10yrs at 20k or 20yrs at 10k. (Check out the maths brain on me). I’m not in agreement with any tinkering of isa’s or pensions, just looking at what may come out of the budget. For sure they’ll be looking at ways to tax isa millionaires, however it Will hopefully prove to complex to administer on CGT basis as opposed to limiting what goes in. I’m not pre empting anything just looking logically at the situation, because Government is after tax. People with very little won’t be paying it that’s for sure. The irony is that the tax will probably go into GB energy’s coffers to fund SMR. Please understand these are my observations and opinions and aren’t a political view.

Vindiboy, are you suggesting working people frequent this forum? How crass.

I beg your pardon sairfecht it was Pope. Should have listened more at School!

I hope you are right Peak, you probably are.

I think No.3 is the big issue on the horizon. Trade tariffs will cause a slowdown and possible correction. So £5.70 to £5.00 in the case of RR maybe as an example. However I feel it’s just noise, maybe distracting noise, but the fundamentals remain the same. The reasons you like RR won’t change Nomdeplume. The uk Budget may cause a ripple, but the World wants Trent engines and SMR, so the uk may hurt if Reeves doesn’t handle this well but RR will prosper. All in my opinion, and I’m human, and to ‘er’ is to be human as some fellow called Twain said, not Shania!

You know nothing!

Blackout threats to become common place in the uk. The last piece of the article talks about policy decisions urgently required with regard to existing nuclear power stations and SMR’s. Seems that good news WRT RR is only a short time away.

Supply chain issues have been known about for a long time now. Many industries have faced similar problems over the past few years. Whilst not desirable it will be resolved.

Keep your personal vendetta of the boards pls Nagger. Your posting history speaks volumes.

This is massive. Follow the money and look at the sentiment. Net zero whether achieved completely or partly is the mantra in the west, and will be increasingly so from China. I always thought that SMR was a good little side line for RR, but it could propel RR to places most had never envisaged. The core business is in excellent shape to compared to where it was a few years back. An interesting few years ahead that’s for sure.

Hi Tj

Google Ernest Townsend. A local artist, actually considered No.2 next to Joseph Wright. Ernest won a scholarship to the London school of art, commissioned to paint portraits of Churchill and king George in 1919. He also displayed at Le Salon, the Paris art show. Anyway his bread and butter was painting portraits, but come WW2 the MOD commissioned him to orchestrate the painting of village scenes of the roofs of the Derby RR factories roofs. Hardly any German ordinance landed on the factories, so we must assume this was successful. Townsend, a deeply patriotic man, and probable workaholic died at a fairly young age in 1944. So the re invigorated buzz in Derbyis good news, and true to form when Brits get the bit between their teeth. Ernest Townsends portrait of Churchill hangs in the the liberal club London today. If interested google 'Townsend Chartwell' for more of an insight into this brilliant patriotic Derby boy.

Morning Pappalaz. Sorry poor gramma on my part! I wasn't alluding to you and Dave being as one, but alluding to the Hello Dave/ Papa Lazarou character talking gibberish, which you don't. It always amazes me how people think they can manipulate a 40B Mcap companies SP on a chat forum!

Hellodave, AKA Papa Lazarou of The League of Gentlemen fame. Characteristics; an oddball known for talking gibberish!

I'm being sarcastic with my 'definitely' comment. I enjoyed reading Nettles thoughts on RR. He was quite clear that it was all in his opinion. The vitriol posted by some here is very poor IMO, and doesn't serve anyone. I'm really pleased with the SP for many reasons, and IMO it will continue to climb as the financials improve. RR is no longer a 'bottom feeder' as it has been for decades. The business is fairly secure now with Airbus twin jets cornering the long haul market probably for decades to come. With continuing fiscal responsibility and the possibility of SMR's being a corner stone of domestic and foreign power supply who knows where RR SP will end. The truth is that know one really knows. Personally I think 5.50 -7.00 is achievable within the next year.
