Will Farage come out and defend Andrew Tate after the recent charges? Does he stand by his comment that 'Tate had been “an important voice” for men'?

They look very friendly in this pic:

James,

Adblockers - I had a look at Trojan's link... the top of the list is blocked by my filters, probably because they want $$$ for the full version.

‘TACO’: Wall Street Mocks Trump With 4-Letter Code to Call Bets Against Him

https://www.mediaite.com/media/news/taco-wall-street-mocks-trump-with-4-letter-code-to-call-bets-against-him/

TACO = Trump Always Chickens Out.

But.... I think the mocking is going to get to him, and he will choose not to relent sometime soon. And putting punishing tariffs in place might help him - economic upheaval may spark domestic unrest; the same unrest he needs to institute martial law and suspend the midterm elections that could cost the GOP control of the House and Congress and see yet another set of impeachment proceedings.

It is even worse than the FT painted... £500b of unfunded tax cuts and spending on top of existing forecast deficits. Mr Bond Market would kill his plans faster than it took a lettuce to spoil. 'Reform UK Announce Massive Unfunded Budget Holes'

Yesterday there were trades under the Bid and someone has posted that todays buys are at the Bid...

If you cannot sell then the price is going down unless enough people get fooled into thinking that the MMs are offering bargains [which they never do] and buy all the shares they want to get rid of.

Farage’s biggest savings by far would come from abolishing all policies aimed at reaching net zero emissions by 2050, which he said the Institute for Government had claimed cost around £45bn a year.

However, the IfG report on which those figures were based, written in 2021, stated specifically that “most of the investment is unlikely to come from the government” and that it would be “largely funded and delivered by the private sector and individuals”.

He must think his supporters are stupid; he is right about some.

Blue,

'Grumbling about lack of rain, and ethanol in US trade deal.'

I thought that people were supposed to be outraged about solar on arable land... and the farmers were just growing petrol instead of food? So there is enough land then? It is all a bit confusing...

Climate change is making many houses uninsurable. Is this a disaster in the making?

Banks are sitting on more toxic mortgages than people appreciate; and, when someone gets stuck in a house that they cannot sell, they become less productive just when the UK is suffering from a productivity crisis.

Never seen this before on a placing:

Cykel AI PLC (LSE: CYK) announces its intention to raise gross proceeds of £750,000 by way of a placing of new ordinary shares with institutional and accredited investors (the "Proposed Placing"). The Proposed Placing is expected to close on 6 June 2025, subject to customary regulatory approvals and finalisation of definitive documentation and will be priced at the closing bid price on 6 June.

It will be interesting to see how battered the shares get by then; current m/cap is a little under £12m.

Aalo Atomics - they seem very keen on Trump's nuclear executive orders from Friday

The orders are going to put rocket fuel on the fire slowly cooking SMRs.
