If you cannot defend fuel supplies from drone swarms, then your fighter jets are useless, despite the billions of £ / $ you have spent on them.

At 4.4 Miles, Wyoming Team Sets New Rifle Shot World Record

kenny would be proud...

As sectorbreakdown mentioned earlier about inflating away debts, this is one of the lead Bloomberg articles:

Unfortunately, the last dim Chancellor borrowed the Covid money at cost + inflation, so as inflation goes up so does the interest bill. That bill could have been fixed at 1% - a massive failure by Sunak.

"Is it justifiable to laugh at that person or say 'I told you so'; Does that make you a good human?"

There are many people who have been posting sceptically about this company since it was reversed into [from memory] ABAL a few years ago. Had some taken their advice, then they would now be classed as a 'good human' who helped some avoid a catastrophic investment. Had they not been met with organised abuse and reporting campaigns, they would be less likely to reappear now and then to snipe from the sidelines.

So, the lowest value of the £ since I was a teenager. If you want to export, devaluing the £ instead of having better trade relations with your nearest trading partners in bonkers economic theory.

With the trade deficit there will just be more imported inflation.

Clarity on financing is needed to remove uncertainty, as the risk of a discounted placing or a convertible loan remains until then.

This is quite clever; looks whacky on the telly

'I honestly dont feel like they know what they are doing.'

BlueGlow,

They do; they are gambling with their last chips at the Last Chance Saloon. Either they get lucky and a miracle happens and they get enough of a good story to sell to another electoral victory or Labour inherit a mess and have to make the unpopular choices that the CONservatives have avoided doing today. It just makes it more likely that Labour will have 1 term in power and that the CONservatives will inherit an improving economy in 6 years time to give away gifts to the wealthy again.

The US seems to be choosing winners; it will be telling if any UK companies get a foot in the door at any of these hubs?

The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) is releasing this Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) to solicit Regional Clean Hydrogen Hubs (H2Hubs) in accordance with the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA), also known as the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL). This $8 billion effort will catalyze investment in the development of H2Hubs that demonstrate the production, processing, delivery, storage, and end-use of clean hydrogen, in support of the Biden Administration’s goal to achieve a carbon-free electric grid by 2035 and a net zero emissions economy by 2050.

Convertible loans are always an option... there are plenty who will feel the need to average down.

It is not enough; the £ will continue to fall so food bills etc will go up.

New annual estimate together with a small direct debit increase:

Price difference:
Electricity: £142.92 increase
Gas: £255.41 increase

I seem to have done well

and apple & berry crumble; I am a few quid up today

'7k a week after taxes' is a lot of pocket money for a pensioner. And what hassle - just some people mouthing off on bulletin boards.

Pity they were not protesting when Russia invaded Ukraine and starting bombing and killing everything they could not steal. Only now that they might have to fight in the fight that they supported are they protesting; just cowards.

He has been able to fail for so long as the shareholder base is disorganised. There will be thousands / tens of thousands who own billions of shares between them who have lost interest in what little their original investment has become; the shares remain in their trading accounts as a reminder to be more careful in the future.

These same shareholders cannot be bothered to vote for or against any AGM motions, nor are they interested in becoming activists banding together to remove the BOD. Shareholder apathy is SS's strongest weapon, and his failures only strengthen the apathy.

In the meantime more who think they are experts buy in and inevitably have to average down which creates demand for flippers to move placing shares onto. It is a great business if you are on the right side of the trades. No doubt some of the most active rampers will be / have been flogging placing shares as they ramp away. All perfectly legal if you play within the rules...

Nothing beats rewards for failure... People responsible for a £2 billion loss to the public purse should never be allowed into positions of responsibility again. GOV know that... but how would a politician get a job after they leave office?

Down another 10% today

https://tradingeconomics.com/russia/stock-market

'The MOEX Russia Index sank as much as 10% before cutting the losses to 3% at 2,150 on Wednesday, extending last session’s 9% plunge as President Putin ordered the country’s first mobilization since World War II. Putin ordered the mobilization of 300,000 soldiers and emphasized Russia’s readiness to use its nuclear weapon arsenal, escalating the war further with Western nations. The index tanked yesterday as the Kremlin confirmed that is moving to annex Ukrainian territory, setting up referendums to join Russia in the breakaway Luhansk and Donetsk Republics, Kherson, and Zaporizhzhia. The annexation is seen by many as serious means of escalation, giving grounds for the Kremlin to consider Ukraine’s recent counterattack an aggression on Russian soil with Western weapons. Russian financial markets were also pressured by the announcement Russia would tax exports to raise RUB 3 trillion to cover its looming budget deficit. Energy shares and banks led the losses.'
