It ain't rocket science, son.

Starmer edited a Trotsky magazine. A magazine associated with the International Revolutionary Marxist Tendency (IRMT), a Pabloite-Trotskyist group.

As you will know, Trotsky delivered the Red Terror, dispatched vast numbers of his own people, and established the authoritarian structures that enabled Soviet totalitarianism from the 1910s up to the present day.

All public info.

We all know what's coming. A second Marxist wave of tax, council tax, debt, and regs.

The more Britain taxes, the less it grows.

UK tax burden stood at 5% in 1900, while UK was no.2 worldwide by GDP per head.

UK tax burden stands at 37% in 2026, while UK has plunged to no.30 worldwide by GDP per head.

UK tax burden will stand at 40% in 2030, while UK will be no.40 worldwide by GDP per head.

Tax more, grow less.

You're never gonna get more than £2-3 for this share. The UK stockmarket is dead. It's a buyer's market. This feels much like a "take it or leave it" kind of offer.

Cooper or Milliband seem to be the front runners. Both on the ultra-left. Cooper likely to push for nationalisation of everything she can get her hands on. Milliband likely to slam everyone and everything with "green" (red) tax. Mahmood or Streeting might be a little more moderate. But Burnham is in charge. He's gonna be pushing for another fresh ramp of tax, debt, and regs, and he'll do it fast. Labour know they have only 2-3 years of runway left, to maximise their Trotsky dream and make it irreversible.

A far-left PM is being replaced by a far-far-left PM.

There's nothing to celebrate here.

There's going to be yet another violent surge in tax, council tax, business tax, investment tax, asset tax, regs, red tape, and debt from H2 2026 into 2027. There will be a frenzied push for nationalisation of the rest of rail, plus all of water, gas, and electricity. The unions want rail, water, gas, and electricity to mimic the pseudo-communist NHS, with full, overwhelming, centralised, state control. What's more, you can expect the separation of Scotland, Wales, and NI to be back on the table.

We're hurtling back to the 1970s 👍

Farage fields poor councillors -- and wins council elections by a landslide. Farage fields poor MPs -- and loses MP elections by a landslide. British voters trust Reform at the local level -- but not the national level. It is a big (big) problem for Farage.

Getting rid of Starmer, and replacing with Burnham, solves nothing. Replacing the far-left with the far-far-left solves nothing. It's making matter worse. Much worse. We're sliding deeper down a fabianist Marxist hole of tax, debt, and gilt decline.

UK voters have a screw loose.

Farage has now lost 5 by-elections in a row. Reform have a major problem. They win council elections. They lose MP elections. Farage will not win the 2029 UK general election.

The far-left and far-far left (collectively) are now routinely capturing 50-60% of the entire UK vote. The country has turned red. We are a post-capitalist state. Churchillian Thatcherism is over. Marxism is the new sheriff in town.

Fun fact... If I gave you $100m every day for the next 25 years, you'd still be poorer than Elon Musk.

Good RNS. Robbie Williams now part of the roster. ATC remains unbelievably undervalued, at less than 0.5 x sales.

It doesn't take a genius to work out that a company valued at a 100-150 times revenue (SPCX) is overvalued! Most UK big firms are valued at barely 1-2 times revenue. Most US tech firms, like the Mag7, are valued at 10-50 times revenue.

A wild guess says index-tracker buying and fanboy hype will keep SPCX up in the $150-200 shareprice range for the next 2-4 weeks, before a bouncy ride back down to the $50-100 level in the following 6-12 months. That's a pretty typical price-curve for US mega-IPOs in recent years. Up for a bit, then down a lot for months. Dyor, etc.

Just checked out at $175. Easiest +30% in a while, for a few minutes of tapping buttons. Well done to everyone who made some bunce today 👍

Will wait for this to slide back down to the $50-100 range, before jumping back in. Almost all major US IPOs for the past decade have seen at least a -50% retrace at some point in year 1, such as RobinHood. With its valuation at (an insane) 100-150 x sales, it can't possibly sustain that level in the short-term.

It's hard to put into words just how much BSFA (and partners) screwed up this auction! They're sitting on the world's first Jurassic handbag. But the bag was mis-designed, mis-branded, mis-promoted, mis-marketed, mis-positioned, mis-auctioned, mis-timed, and mis-priced. It is one of the worst product launches ever in all of global stockmarket history.

The bag should have been made (much) prettier, co-branded with a known fashion house, promoted in New York and Hollywood, auctioned in New York or Hollywood (Jurassic Park), the world's richest country, the global capital of hype, and auctioned around NY Fashion Week in Sep 2026. It could've made $5m. Americans have unlimited cash, way way richer than UK and Europe. You don't launch a first-tier product, in a tiny second-tier city (Amsterdam), with a tiny third-tier fashion brand nobody's heard of, and then continue to auction it on the same day SpaceX and trillionaire Musk delivers the world's biggest ever IPO!

Add in all the pumps and dumps here, every few weeks, and you've got one helluva mess. You can see why the BSFA share price has collapsed a staggering -95% in 3 years!

The auction price is a disaster. The bulls were predicting €1m+ for the handbag sale. The bears were at €0.5m or less. It didn't even reach that (low) level. At just €0.15m, it's an astonishing 60-90% below market expectations!

BSFA has plunged a staggering -95% in 3 years. The share price tells the story here 👍

As predicted -- months ago -- the marketing campaign for the dino bag has been (and is) a complete and total flop. An ugly handbag design, partnered with a rubbish fashion brand, sold in the wrong city, with dull hype that fizzled out online like a wet firework. It was one of the worst product launches in global business history.

Time to ditch this heap of junk. It's headed under 1p. Britain simply no longer has the biz or promotional skills to succeed in the tech world. We are a decaying nation. It's your classic British company -- a great idea, badly executed, delivering failure. Time to sell up 👍

To be fair, global deaths from war have plunged -90% in the past 80 years, global deaths from famine have plunged -99% in the past 70 years, while global life expectancy has soared +100% in a 100 years. There's still the odd local skirmish, like Iran. But the general trend and facts are clear. We're living through the safest period ever in a million years of worldwide human history 👍

Kospi index (Seoul) plunged -9% overnight. Heavy on the AI stocks, such as Samsung. Kospi is +25% bigger than the London FTSE stockmarket.

Like all UK service industries, a handful of banks are well managed, while the rest are some kind of joke. If you're with the best, like First Direct or Starling, online banking is the greatest thing since sliced bread. If you're with the worst, such as TSB or BOS, most of the legacy highstreet banks, it's like pulling teeth. Lloyds's online banking is a bit slow and clunky. Not the worst, but defo not the best.

As for highstreet bank branches. Their usage has collapsed by -90% this century, so their highstreet footprint will have to adjust -90% accordingly. It's a post-bank world out there.

Can't believe folks fell for yet another pump-and-dump here! They keep doing the same pattern over and over again.
