The United Kingdom's Consumer Price Index (CPI) rose 10.7% in November compared to the same month a year ago, the Office for National Statistics reported on Wednesday. The figure marks a decrease from October when annual inflation in the UK stood at a record 11.1% and is lower than analysts had anticipated.
The largest downward contribution to the annual inflation rate came from a decline in the prices of motor fuels. On the other hand, prices in restaurants, cafes and pubs were reported to have grown.
On a monthly basis, consumer prices were up 0.4% in November, while the Consumer Prices Index including owner occupiers’ housing costs (CPIH) climbed 9.3% year on year and was up 0.4% month on month.

Istanbul Mayor Ekrem Imamoglu was sentenced to 2 years and 7 months in prison for insulting Turkish Supreme Election Board (YSK) officials and a "political ban" will be imposed upon him, according to a court decision made on Wednesday.
The proceedings revolved around Imamoglu's reaction to the YSK's ruling to annul the Istanbul mayoral elections in 2019 in which he claimed a narrow victory. "Those who canceled the election are idiots, let's focus there first," the mayor said during his visit to the European Parliament later that year.
Imamoglu, who will appeal the decision, has been viewed as a strong challenger to President Recep Tayyip Erdogan in the country's 2023 elections.

Horrible news today, of a massively discounted fundraise.

It’s doing a placing to raise £3.65m (before fees) at just 1p per share. The price last night was 12.65p, so the fundraise is a 92% discount.

The share count will rise from 37.5m in issue now, to 402m after this placing, an increase of 972%.

Then there’s likely additional dilution of 150m new shares if the open offer is fully taken up, so 552m shares in total.Existing shareholders can participate in an Open Offer, with 4 new shares (also priced at 1p) for each existing share. So that’s something, although it would still cause significant dilution even if shareholders do take up the open offer.

PLUS there’s more potential dilution from warrants being issued, although I wouldn’t worry about that, because the exercise price is 6p, which would be a delight to achieve a share price of 6p or above. Management express “deep regret”.

As we keep discussing here, you don’t want to be holding anything that needs to raise fresh cash. Balance sheet strength is absolutely key right now, as it's so tough to raise fresh cash. This announcement is another reminder of the risk of being almost wiped out if the institutions don’t really want to support a fundraise. Be careful out there, conditions are really grim for small caps that run out of cash.

HE1
6p to buy now

HE1
looking at the trades, 5.50p is one of the lowest buys .....so far

BELOW expectations

FTSE100 FLAT

The United States government is rumored to announce the delivery of the Patriot anti-air missile launchers to Ukraine later this week.
According to a report published by CNN on Tuesday, unnamed officials from the Biden administration said that the Defense Department's plan is expected to be approved soon before reaching President Joe Biden for signing. If the plan is finalized, the Patriot systems will be delivered to Ukraine via Germany, where Ukrainian soldiers will be trained to use them.
These anti-air systems would significantly increase Ukraine's defenses against Russia's missile attacks, as well as secure NATO's airspace in eastern Europe, per the cited officials.

God bless Bill Browder for his commitment to the memory of Sergei Magnitski
hero!

The CONservatives continue to go on about 71 post-Brexit trade deals adding up to £800 billion in new trade. When in fact, there have only been four new trade deals (including the one with the EU), and those deals have all been shown to be poor value for the UK already.

Ministers have been accused of a “dangerous” attitude toward strikes as the country braces itself for a wave of walkouts that threaten to bring parts of Britain to a standstill.

The government will hold an emergency Cobra meeting today as the country braces for a week of industrial action.

Intensified plans to call up the military and civil servants will be discussed at the meeting. A second will be held just two days later, less than 24 hours before an unprecedented strike by nurses is due to begin.

But just hours after they warned patients would face “significant” risks, ministers rejected an offer from nursing leaders to suspend Thursday’s action in return for pay talks with the health secretary.
Shadow health secretary Wes Streeting accused ministers of a “dangerous” and “irresponsible” stance and said they had turned down a proposition “too good to refuse”.

As the government steps up its contingency planning, armed forces personnel are being sent to hospitals across the country to familiarise themselves with vehicles ahead of planned ambulance strikes on December 21.

Ministers also confirmed military staff and others are being trained to support a range of services, including Border Force at airports and ports, amid fears of travel misery this Christmas. Cabinet minister Oliver Dowden said unions had threatened to cause “disruption for millions of hardworking people” and accused them of putting livelihoods at risk “in order to push their pay demands to the front of the queue”.
