Theresa May has promised our Foreign owned car industry no tariffs costs to protect 186,000 jobs
While a NO DEAL WTO tariff on cars is 10% adding £1.8Billions to costs

She knows the Tories would out of office for decades by allowing a NO DEAL to happen. So presses on regardless in spite of abuse from some of her own backbenchers

Long-term investors in SolGold (SOLG) can look back on 2018 with some satisfaction. Despite initial doubts around the ‘tier one’ status of the company’s Alpala discovery in Ecuador, the mineral resource has now doubled, and the copper-gold explorer now counts BlackRock and BHP Billiton (BLT) as major shareholders. All the while, the cash pile has remained topped up as shareholders have continued to buy new equity, and mining majors’ hunt for the next copper-gold project has only grown in intensity. As such, we think there’s a reasonable chance SolGold will be snapped up in the next year.

Owing to underinvestment in new projects and booming demand from global electrification, almost all mining majors want to increase their exposure to copper. And within the scarce pipeline of potential developments, Alpala is a unique prospect. It has no permitting or geopolitical issues to speak of, isn’t owned by a rival and is of sufficient scale to make a difference to any major’s portfolio. Liberum thinks this combination warrants a take-out price of 72p, as the mid-point between the median internal rate of return, and the average resource-based multiple for transactions in the sector. Hannam & Partners goes one further, arguing that the recent resource shows “the blue-sky potential” for a forthcoming preliminary economic assessment, and warrants an 80p target price. We’re bullish too: buy.

Another interesting letter is from Dowding to Churchill, where he told Churchill he couldn't have the last 600 planes he had ordered.
He said France had capitulated before and they would do so again, and if we had sent those 600 planes there would be none left.
That cost Dowding his job at the time. In fact he'd retired previously but the government called him back to lead The Battle Of Britain

Dowding was right .......as those 600 fighters won the Battle of Britain....JUST !!!....it was a close call

In the 1969 film Battle of Britain, Dowding was played by Laurence Olivier. Olivier had himself served as a pilot in the Royal Navy 's Fleet Air Arm during World War II. During filming, Dowding (then aged 86 and in a wheelchair ) met Olivier.
A Brilliant Film Kenny
Cheers

A.J.P. Taylor describes the crucial role that Air Chief Marshal Sir Hugh Dowding played in the Battle of Britain. He also discusses Dowding's argument with Churchill that led to the former being discarded after the battle was over.http://www.bbc.co.uk/history/people/hugh_dowding#p009cmnw

The RAF greatest wartime leader was Air Chief Marshal Dowding
Who ensured we won the Battle of Britain
