Self - inflicted crisis of the Government's own making.

The events of the past few weeks have blown any shred of economic credibility from the Conservative Party out of the window. The Tory Party leadership contest is already in danger of turning into a circus, there is no point in further delaying the inevitable any longer, a General Election is needed to restore confidence and stability to investors and financial markets and above all , to the Nation.

hardup.

Yes sadly, " that is indeed the case " there is simply no " fat " left to cut from UKs Public Services.

Nothing can be " ruled in or ruled out " including changes to personal Dividend Income and Capital Gains Tax allowances.

I'm afraid somebody will have to shore up the Black Hole in the Public Finances.

UK state pensions have been a demographic time - bomb ticking under the financial system for years now, a new approach and urgent radical solution is required.

Labour's problem now !

Despite almost ruining the NHS under his tenure, Jeremy Hunt is now the only hope for salvation the Tories have left in the current financial and political crisis facing the country.

Markets stabilised for the time being, a lot more work needed to win long term favour with financial markets and sterling.

Mixed bag of results expected ( comment posted 13th Oct )

JP Morgan revenues up 10%, however it took a $1 Billion loss on securities and a sharp drop in investment banking revenues.

All eyes are now firmly fixed on Barclays Q3 upcoming American investment banking arm performance results later this month.

Market mayhem set to continue.

Downing Street and BoE, are running around like headless chickens.

Get a grip !

Mixed bag of results expected.

Investment banking and asset management revenues are likely to take a hit particularly at Morgan Stanley and Goldman Sachs.

Banks and Financial stocks leading the bounce back ( for now ) on the London Market today.

Future share price and financial prospects for Lloyds, now in the hands of the politicians !

Pretty meaningless these days, lost count how many times successive Governments have meddled with the claiment figures.

Worth noting, 2.5 million people are currently claiming longterm sickness benefits.

Very little positive market data, if any !

Short - term trading and portfolio rebalancing is needed, if investors want to stay on track.

" UK has the 2nd lowest debt to GDP ratio in the G7 " ..... maybe ?

Its not the level of debt what concerns financial markets, but what the Government does with borrowed money.

The UKs lack of credibility can be clearly seen in the rising level of interest the Government pays on its debts, and the fall in Sterling.

Shrinkflation and inferior substitute ingredients in food are now one of the clever deceptive marketing tricks used by supermarkets to enhance their profit margins.

Welcome to the new bargain basement Britain, where people know the price of everything and the value of nothing.

Strong start to the month, markets are looking for further positive data around inflation numbers and FED interest policy rates.

After unfounded media speculation Credit Suisse shares ended the day 12% higher.

Unsubstantiated media speculation Credit Suisse has a strong capital and liquidity position and balance sheet, despite a falling share price and rising credit default swaps at the bank.

It's to late to shut the door after the horse has bolted, the damage has been done.

What is the point of this Tory Government now !

Penny Mordaunt PM....... It all could have been different.

Conservative Party membership must now " rue the day " they voted Truss into Downing Street.

Not long to wait now, Conservative party conference begins sunday.

Who wouldn't want the best seat in the house.

" another £500m plus buyback "

Good idea in theory, but unlikely to happen.

In light of the current financial crisis the BoE officials are already drawing up plans for even more stricter "capital requirments " on UK high street banks.

The only crumb of comfort for investors at the present until market turmoil settles down, and there's no guarantee of that in the short term.
