Even

Evening bros...

All eyes on the Federal; reserve decision at around the 7pm..

I myself am thinking they may go the whole 50 basis points. Not worry so much about the Inflation may be the lesser of two evils when economy is struggling..

Trump

In New York times..

"Trump Rolls Out His New Cryptocurrency Business

In a livestream, Donald Trump formally introduced World Liberty Financial, a crypto venture led by two digital currency entrepreneurs with little experience running high-profile businesses.

Israel leadership looking to massively escalate the conflict.. Why? who knows . Make no sense.

Is all happening..

Chips..

Morning.....👍

No in later today....

Interesting one this.

"It has also emerged that the Office for Budget Responsibility (OBR) – the independent forecaster who checks Reeves' plans – mistakenly estimated how much of Britain's £2.7trillion debt pile was held by overseas governments. Foreign investors own 28 per cent of UK national debt – nearly twice the percentage of two decades ago. Most of it was thought to be held by private investors".

Richard Hughes OBR chairman..Warned that 'fickle and flighty' foreign buyers of UK government debt lacked 'home bias', were susceptible 'to geopolitical considerations in their portfolios' and posed a 'growing risk to the stability of the gilt market'.

Debt ok as long you has some collateral.. Now where our gold pile gone?

STP

"Gold and silver, and mined metals in general. Gold is simply the headline act"..

For sure that is the case and as the history has shown us time and time again nations will even go to war to acquire those...Just saying

Respect but a few bars on a plane buys a lot of what you want.. If in doubt ask any waring nation.

During WW2 operation fish involved the largest movement of wealth when bullion from the Uk vaults was sent to Canada for safe keeping.

Myself and Mr Chips big fan of gold. It is the only true currency. Everything else is credit. Where Uk notes it says it promise to pay the bearer it need the caveat. except in Tesco cafes, some ASDA etc etc..😂😂😂

VW talking about sacking 15,000 as its car sales down 500,000 or equivalent of two car plants. To be in the perspective.

Just two Chinese giants. SAIC Motor and Dongfeng have sold 8.5 million units .. = 34 VW plants worth.

"For a country that invented/developed so much of what the worlds uses we have not seen much of a return"..

Difficult thing to try and quantify . But I do wonder why we still have the military facilities in 42 countries.. What use they when we fail to protect our own shores?

So ff

What you bring to the party? Empty crisp bag by the seem of it.

Why you not enrich the BB with a Lloyds related matter?

MV

Not the mere coincidence then.... ?

Our country is being sold to the highest bidder in plain sight...

Ff

Bros.

Chill. Of course the EV has nothing to do with Lloyds...

But if you are thinking of switching to an electric vehicle (EV) as part of your commitment to a green and sustainable lifestyle, carry on reading....

Lloyds bank...

https://www.lloydsbank.com/car-finance/electric-vehicles.html

Lloyds pressing the pedal to the metal with its tie up with BDEV etc..

So whats with L&G's sale of its housing subsidiary Cala ?.Sixth Street, the US-based investor is favourite but Persimmon still in with a shout.

So who got this right?

LTI

As a multi car owner I know where this heading. I will keep an eye.

My last two cars both hybrid, my next maybe a next generation Chinese EV.

Nothing you or I can do to change whoever runs this country on this. Greater forces at play here.

Why the West should want to deindustrialize and play into the hands of the Chinese is she bigger question.

This green agenda is shooting ourselves in both feet.

We know natural fires release twice as much co2 as the entire airline travel industry. Solar maximum next year.

"Nearly half a gigaton of carbon (or 1.76 billion tons of CO2) was released from burning boreal forests in North America and Eurasia in 2021"...

Check this one out..

Not only he not declare this properly but why has this guy got the Parliamentary pass?

https://www.itv.com/news/2024-09-14/sir-keir-starmer-faces-possible-probe-over-clothing-donations-to-his-wife

lammy. he make me laugh. Starmer not afford the clothes then?

"The prime minister and his wife accepted donations of clothing so they could “look their best” to represent the UK, Foreign Secretary David Lammy said on the BBC’s Sunday with Laura Kuenssberg programme.

ATISHA.

" How is this the average Joe going to able to afford one?"...

"If a political party had a manifesto commitment to ban the driving of a petrol car, it would be voters who decide whether to elect such a party".

Both and Tory both sign up to this Climate change accord..

Mr Boris Johnson he brought forward to 2030 from original 2040.

You suggesting this why Tories lost the election? Seriously?

TZAP

Why you think NG are rolling out a £60bn upgrade....

LTI

"as always, supply and demand"...

Bros. can you be really that stupid that you believe supply and demand are the only forces in play here.

Big Govt will decide whether people like it or not.

How can anyone not see the direction of travel here.. In the Uk the buyer reluctance should not be seen as the benchmark.

"Sales of electric cars started from a low base but are growing quickly in many markets.

Globally, around 1-in-4 new cars sold were electric in 2023. This share was over 90% in Norway, and in China, it was almost 40%.

The bottom line for Europe and the US for that matter, it could be left without a viable car industry .. Certainly it cannot compete on price and car market very price sensitive with huge tariffs...Can this happen?

Well for different reason it happen in UK.

This will in turn up end the GDP of BRICS nations v G7..

Already reported this.

"According to the International Monetary Fund’s data, in 2023, BRICS countries were projected to contribute $56 trillion to the world economy, compared to the G7’s $52 trillion, using PPP-adjusted GDPs. This shift highlights the growing economic influence of BRICS nations, particularly China and India, on the global stage".

For sure. People still has the vinyl records...
