Who do you want mick ?

Corbyn ain't on the list by the way......

1% the Fed and 0.25% our weasels

Looking like my 10-1 bet on Truss is going to payout....

Considering rate changes take about 10 months to have an impact, the bloke is a moron. Saying we'll get down next year from these "high rates" signifies to me that Bailey is a cretin not worth a Penny of his exorbitant salary. As you say, good work if you can get it.....

"When will we catch up ?"

Minnie,

FTSE Is down less than 3% this year
CAC40 down 14% this year
DAX down 17% this year

What a load of cr* p you talk I'm afraid

The scramble to secure gas supply is about to start in earnest.

A dividend yield of 11% is for a reason. The shares have obviously fallen for the yield to be that high and the market makers must be thinking the dividend is under threat.

Just bought some more. Will top up on any weakness in the share price.

So the board are getting circa 5bn in bonus shares are they ? I'd better catch up with my RNSs......

“ ENERGY is set to be rationed in Europe, as Emmanuel Macron warned yesterday that Russia was prepared to use gas supply as a “weapon of war”.

The French president’s comments came after Ben van Beurden, the chief executive of Shell, said companies should be prepared for rationing, amid fears that Moscow will not restart flows of gas to Europe after a shutdown of the Nord Stream 1 pipeline.

Mr Macron told the French public to “prepare for a scenario where we have to manage completely without Russian gas”. “The summer, early autumn, will be very hard,” he said. “Russia is using energy, like it is using food, as a weapon of war.” He said his government would prepare a “sobriety plan” to conserve energy, which would start with turning off public lights at night when they were not useful.”

Macron should know, having the ear of Putin, courtesy of their numerous phone calls………

This has been on the horizon for a while now and is coming to a head.

"I don't see this country as a world beating powerhouse, more a donkey limping towards second world status"

That donkey is the 3rd biggest EU net contributor behind Germany and France. Looking forward to seeing the next bailout in the Eurozone. So Remoaners, chin up, at least it won't be the UK footing the bill.......

Lloyds scrambling back above 42p again before the bell. MS busy again I would imagine......

I'd like to see the Fed do what the Canadians have done and go for a full point.....

Littleaston and Theosus,

You are both 100% correct. He is a clown and deserves sacking.

US inflation 9.1%.

That should ensure the Fed is aggressive at the next meeting. I wonder if Bailey is taking note......

The EU would make us join the euro as a pre-condition for a start.

It's not all remainers that moan to be fair. It's probably only a fraction of them that can't move on and respect democracy. Very tedious people they are mind, a bit like SNP supporters who are agitating for another referendum. It's not the best of 3 in a coin flip. Respect democracy and move on.

Hope so 88.

Bailey is a pr*t. Talking about interest rates falling quickly again from these high levels. Is he for real ? He obviously wasn't around when base rates were 15% in the early 90s.

Won't be long before Putin starts his gas shutdowns Mick to your beloved EU.
