(Alliance News) - Ashtead Group PLC is eyeing a move to New York, in what would be a fresh blow to the London Stock Exchange, the Telegraph reported on Saturday.

Ashtead Group is a London-based provider of equipment hire, makes by far the most of its money in the US via its Sunbelt arm.

The Telegraph reported that the company is in the early stages of considering whether to switch its stock market listing from the UK to the US, which is where the vast bulk of its business is generated.

"The review will blindside officials in the Square Mile after Ashtead previously made a series of pledges to remain listed in Britain," the Telegraph said.

"It is understood the company has instructed City advisers to undertake a full examination of the merits of such a shift."

TREK

As a democratic civilised Country we are unprepared and reluctant to enter a wider European war. Russia being a dictatorship has no such qualms. We are therefore at a distinct disadvantage.

Hitler illegally entered the Sudetenland in 1938 part of Czechoslovakia where 3 million ethnic Germans lived. Later annexing Austria and destroying Czechoslovakia in 1938-1939. Other territorial demands followed. Great Britain and France hoped to prevent another world war by giving into Hitler's demands through a policy of appeasement. Finally declaring war when Hitler invaded Poland. We were totally unprepared for War and JUST avoided a German invasion (Operation Sea Lion) as our magnificent RAF just managed to prevail in the Battle of Britain.

IMO - We are in a similar position now BUT we do have NATO.

French President Emmanuel Macron announced on Thursday that his country will provide Mirage 2000 fighter jets to Ukraine.

In interviews with TF1 and France 2, Macron detailed that "the sale of Mirage 2000-5s" will be officially unveiled on Friday during Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky's visit to the country. "The planes will allow Ukraine to protect its soil and its airspace," he underlined.

He further added that Paris will organize training for Ukrainian pilots. The training is expected to commence in the summer and is envisioned to last six months.

Shares of GameStop Corp. tanked as much as 35% as one of the most prominent figures in the meme stock rally, Keith Gill, also known as Roaring Kitty, returned to livestreaming for the first time in roughly four years.

Gill clarified that his stakes in GameStop were entirely personal, underscoring that he did not receive support from any institutional supporters. He emphasized that the positions displayed in the screenshots, which led to the retailer's stock surging by as much as 90% earlier in the week, represented his sole investments in the portfolio. These positions consisted of 5 million common shares and 120,000 call options. "My aggressive style of investing is almost certainly not suitable for y'all," he added. The 37-year-old investor stressed that there is an "overemphasis" on the video game retailer's legacy business. GameStop's shares were also pulled down by underwhelming first-quarter results after the retailer registered a 29% plunge in net sales year-over-year, landing at $881.8 million for the period.

The retailer's stock plunged 35.23%, trading at $30.12 apiece at 12:59 pm ET.

I bet Sunak could lose his Parliamentary seat such is the outrage.

Even the right wing media have changed their headlines to "shock and horror" from

early editions that didn't even mention it.

Tax bands were always raised by the rate of inflation at Budget time...for the new tax yr.

But the Tories have frozen bands until 2028

If we have high inflation again the frozen tax band could mean....

Almost all income is taxed.

Sunak apology has gone International ....such is the shock.

Even Tories have spoken in horror.

Jonny Mercer was incandescent with rage.

TODAY....

Sunak left the D-DAY commemorations to double down on a proven lie (Labours £2000 tax hike)

in a recording for newsnight.

Everybody else postponed politics for D-DAY

👍🏾.....NOM

Sunak FINALLY apologised ....

V V VERY damaging...

HO! HUM!
