Wave bye bye to a great British company, sold for peanuts abroad.

'🤣 'The end of boom and bust' 🤣'

Well at least the sentiment was there and 'boom and bust' wasn't the deliberate ploy we see under the Conservative governments, oh most intelligent poster on LSE.

Anyway, that wasn't the case, Brown didn't know the full extent of HBOS bad debt at the time and neither did Lloyds so to say he threw Lloyds under the bus just isn't true.

Well it was either Lloyds or the UK as a whole wasn't it?

'And took Lloyds to the brink with the HBOS "deal"!'

The whole of UK banking was on the brink and at very real risk of collapse.

'UK companies front-loaded exports in advance of Trump’s tariffs in February. The month is a blip and normal service will resume with these uselsss muppets shortly.'

Writes Liz Truss's biggest fan (who can't even spell 'useless'!).

When the terrible Mr Brown 'saved the world'...

'During the 2008 global financial crisis, Gordon Brown led a swift and decisive UK government response that became a model for international action. His administration launched a £500 billion bailout plan that included injecting capital into major banks, guaranteeing interbank loans, and providing emergency liquidity — all designed to restore confidence and keep the financial system functioning. This approach helped prevent a total collapse of the banking sector, stabilized markets, and was soon adopted by other major economies. Brown’s leadership during this critical moment earned him credit for helping to avert a global economic meltdown.'

'Gordon Brown has called for an “economic coalition of the willing” to respond to Donald Trump’s tariffs with coordinated economic policies, including a reduction of interest rates.

The former prime minister also said it was a moment for the UK to go even further in renewing ties with the EU, suggesting it should mean “collaboration that is even more extensive than removing post-Brexit trade barriers”.'

🥳👍

Bloomer, neatly forgetting his hero Trump's links to Epstein Island. Yawn

Personally i can't think of anything lower than labelling someone a child abuser just because you don't like their actions or opinions.

Sun pouring through my window and the economy growing, despite the right wing.

'I see stagflation in the next quarter'

Larry foresees another 20% drop.

OUCH!

Don't shoot the messenger lti.

I see Chancellor Reeves wants to form a closer alliance too. Slowly, slowly... & as the demented Brexit voters leave this mortal coil, common sense will prevail.

I'd have slapped another year on her sentence. Nasty piece of work that.

'A clear majority of UK voters want the government to concentrate on rebuilding trade ties with the EU over forging a new economic deal with the US, according to research published this weekend.

The study, based on analy­sis of polling that used new methods of questioning participants, suggests people of voting age now see their economic interests, and the UK’s, as far more closely linked to open trade relations with our EU neighbours than any deals that Keir Starmer might or might not strike with the US.

The analysis shows how far the UK public has turned back in favour of the EU since the Brexit referendum, and it indicates the trend could be strengthened as a result of the economic turmoil unleashed by US president Donald Trump’s tariff announcements and resulting global financial panic over recent days.'

The spray tanned colotomy bag has a silver lining after all...

Meanwhile back in the REAL world.....

'Not only is fracking bad for our climate, it risks causing air, water and noise pollution. It uses TOXIC chemicals that may not be regulated well enough. An accident could mean that these chemicals leak into water supplies or cause pollution above ground. In fact, this has happened MANY TIMES in the US.

The impact of large-scale fracking in the UK on the British countryside would be enormous. Thousands of wells would be needed to produce just half of the UK’s gas demand. This industrial operation would also require huge numbers of trucks delivering chemicals and taking away contaminated waste water.

Fracking licences granted in England cover counties like Surrey, Sussex, Somerset, Derbyshire, Nottinghamshire, Lancashire and Yorkshire. Many licences threaten environmentally protected areas, like national parks and areas of outstanding natural beauty. Meaning protected habitats and species could be affected, as well as communities living nearby.

On top of all this, fracking won’t even bring down our energy bills. The way the energy market works means any gas from it will be sold to the highest bidder globally, which won’t help reduce bills.

New oil and gas supplies can take years or even decades to get up and running too. So it wouldn’t solve short-term problems with energy prices and supply. '
