“ Hahaha just seen your post Catdude lol”

Isn’t there an old adage that suggests; “never look a Gift Horse in the mouth?”

I’d like to see a savings account I can get 2.86% a month on.

Only up 2.86% from previous month.

Let’s all sell. 😳

“What’s this got to do with RR?”

I guess that depends if you like to see wide body long haul airlines dominate the top 20.

You know, that character class of airplane that RR only supply engines for?

😞

Very nice find indeed! 👍👍

"Although we have not named Rolls Royce as the main supplier of SMRs (as you’ve rightly said there are due diligence measures, so it would be wrong to name any companies), we will be using the nuclear energy program as a means of creating British jobs in the energy sector. It would go against the aims of our manifesto to begin outsourcing potential British jobs to other countries and giving away more energy security."

“New nuclear power stations, such as Sizewell C, and Small Modular Reactors, will play an important role in helping the UK achieve energy security and clean power while securing thousands of good, skilled jobs.”

“ NTC not a fan of it then lol”

I’ll take it or leave it. 😂😂😂😂

What about this weather eh? 🕶️🕶️🐈‍⬛🐈‍⬛👍👍

"Imagine if divi was brought back in August what would happen then :)"

£7 close in Feb? Who'd have thought it? 😏🐈‍⬛

Goldman Sachs analyst Victor Allard raised the price target to £5.45 (from £5.24)

"So how does the splitting of the contract, i.e awarding the SMR contract to both EDF and RR fit into the mix?"

I think that's more probable than what it was under the conservatives.

Hey jakeyork,

I get that - and I understand that the whole SMR 'competition' will be well out of their individual remits.

I totally agree it may well be a generic response of "we'll do all we can to do such and such.....", and I will report back accordingly.

I just feel a bit torn with my guy, Neil O'Brien, as although a dedicated MP, he's never reached the heights I feel he could do - being a very honest, nice chap that he is. He's not harsh and ruthless enough to be front bench.

Neil doesn't promise the earth. He simply sorts out community issues. And thus, he'll never be ruthless enough as you say, to be a bit of a tw4t.

Shame really.

I'd like to think so PEAK but we have some serious issues here.

Labour want back into the EU - they won't say so as it not a vote winner right now.

Secondly, the over run from EDF (state owned French company) for Hinckley Nuclear is as follows (not my words):

"French ministers are trying to get the British state to stump up some support for the soaring Hinkley bill, which could reach a total of £46bn at today’s prices for the two reactors, people close to the talks have said. 

That would be roughly double the original budget in 2015 prices, compared with an EDF project in Finland that ended up costing more than twice what it was supposed to and a plan for one reactor at Flamanville in France that is running four times over budget, at €13.2bn."

- Times 2024

Now call me cynical, but as Labour have maintained a very low level increase in taxes so far, may I suggest that they will offer SMR to EDF in exchange for the deficit in the Hinkley projects? Rather than taxing the UK public, they will offer the SMRs as a "settlement" shall we say?

Tufan has every right to be aggrieved with the current situation if this turns out to be the case.

I may be speaking out of turn, but I've not been wrong thus far, and I honestly feel the transition form a terrible Tory idea to a less than capable Labour is not destined to end well for RR SMR Ltd.

...just realised my address is on there.

All good, you guys ever want catnip or good salmon, feel free to pop round!

...It may sound like I’m talking from a one person scenario here but I’m really not. I would like to think I’m asking the questions for thousands of Rolls Royce share holders all of whom are currently on the fence of who to vote for.

I’m CC’ing my long standing MP Neil O’Brien in on this as I feel he has been an incredible asset to our community on a local level - he show’s his face 24-7 regardless of any election going on, and without being unkind, the first I heard of you was when you knocked on my door a few days ago.

I will be voting with Neil again this year, unless I hear something in the next few days that not only I, but a few thousand people want to hear.

All the very best to you.

Nettles!

(Well JTT signed off on the email - probably best coming from a human than a cat!)

I just sent this to my local Labour MP, and CC'd my current conservative MP - my constituency has been Conservative for many years.

(Feel free to copy and paste to all your local MPs bidding as I feel it asks the questions we need to ask).

I will post here any response I get from either party:

Hi Hajira,

I'm Jon from 11 Buller Street in Kibworth.

You came door to door a few days ago and I hope you didn’t find me rude by suggesting I wouldn’t vote for Labour - you asked who I’d be voting for and I politely suggested that’s information I wasn’t willing to give out.

Since then, I have one major concern I wished I would have asked you at my door:

The SMR competition process - instigated by the Conservatives but taking an absolute age whilst major home grown talent (Rolls Royce under Tufan) are even suggesting their funds will run out by the time a decision is made, and at the same time filling order books for international, and indeed European orders (Croatia, Denmark, Japan).

What is your direct solution to this extended competition the Tories instigated, obviously to tender in a very fair legal process to make sure it wasn’t held up down the line in terms of UK bias (there have already been two legal objections to the ’tender’ process from international competition based on the fact it was somewhat obvious Rolls Royce with at least ten years R&D would win through due process alone, as I’m sure you are aware).

I see you and Neil O’Brien are spilt by a hair. And without wanting to sound selfish (being a Rolls Royce share holder) I want support for UK business. Rolls Royce have already had to pull back their SMR enterprise of building two big factories (one for SMR elements) and are left with subcontracting this to another British company in Sheffield whilst maintaining the second factory to put the SMRs together (in very layman terminology - they could have done both if the tender was faster!).

Are you, Labour, going to to offer the contract to a French state owned EDF who already want the over run from Hinckley C to be paid by the UK tax payer or are you going to do what’s best for British jobs and give this SMR contract to Rolls Royce?

That’s my question. You are taking on this silly Tory tender/competition process with £250m already having being spent on each of the 6 contenders from US and France (and RR to be fair).

Can you make me vote for you and understand you have a common sense approach to a legal tender that understands the huge input a 100% contract for SMRs is given to Rolls Royce (after due diligence of course) based on the history that Rolls Royce have (over 10 years R&D and dedication to UK investment) - you will also have the ‘golden share’ transported from the conservatives to you that means nothing can happen in terms of privatisation unless you fully agree to it.

(PART 1)

“ The question is who has the most thrust RR @ 555 or SP500 5555 and who wins the race first before August 6?”

Lovely post Svend.

Hence the importance of spreading investments.

My ‘bet’ is on RR, but my St James Place Fund will be very happy with the SP winning race.

And in the meantime, sun is shiny! ☀️🕶️
