Scancell founder says the company is ready to commercialise novel medicines to counteract cancer. Watch the video here.
In layman's terms it's a right. s h i t show over there GB.
The more savvy amongst us know, long term, the only way a single currency will/can work is a 'US' of Europe. Surprised it's gotten this far, but let's face it, during the euro's short life the consequences of this experiment have inflicted some real hardship on its citizens. In short, without major reform it's doomed to failure.
And yet, we still have a few numpties who cannot see what's unfolding before their eyes. Thank goodness we had the foresight and the democratic opportunity to escape.
"Yes, but if Europe gets worse then I'm sure it will have a knock on effect..."
or this?
"Gateboy, posting information about the Germans and the issues they are facing is nothing more than a distraction."
DT, make your mind up, what is it.
A distraction or will have a knock on effect?
This is why you have no political views, sitting on that fence too long.
Whatever we paid him it was worth every penny and some.
He alone probably done more to get brexit done and p I s s off the likes of you mick, get over it and change the record.
Btw, I expect he wrote them a cheque 😂
With comments like that, I wonder which part of the globe you arrived here from, before we took you in a123?
Whilst we're at it, those British council tenant scum you talk about were probably on the same boat as you. 😔
What avenue of thought brought you to that conclusion?
It was inevitable that the UK would align with our neighbours and delay the 2030 date, plucked out of thin air around the time of COP in Glasgow.
Nothing chaotic about this announcement, just common sense.
Why would any nation impose conditions and restrictions on its people when the resources and technology are not there yet.
It's good to see the lefty's on this BB rearing up. All the while believing the Starmer and the former (failed) labour leader Miliband's rhetoric about some sort of UK led green utopia creating hundreds and thousands of new jobs in the guise of a so-called 'GB Energy' saviour.
Gullible comes to mind. Who else would put the horse before the cart?
At last we are seeing some division's between the party's but would labour reverse it?
Since MD mentioned politics here's the sort of thing we're up against next year….
"Shadow Economic Secretary to the Treasury Tulip Siddiq was trotted out this morning to tell viewers the news that Starmer is looking to achieve “more of a stronger Brexit deal” in Paris today. Guido (for DT's benefit 😜) was more surprised by the claim that the Brexit deal “is a bit too thin, if you look at countries like New Zealand and Canada, they’ve actually got a stronger Brexit deal … which makes it easier for businesses to cut red tape.” Really?
Last time Guido checked Canada and New Zealand still trade over tariff barriers with the EU and will continue to even when their long-feted individual agreements come into force. The Kiwis will have export duties removed on some food and drink products while Canadian agricultural products, for example dairy and poultry, will still be subject to tariffs even after CETA is ratified by EU member states. The UK has a tariff free Brexit deal. Someone needs to do their trade agreement homework"…
All the while Starmer and co are grandstanding in Paris.
Be careful which way you vote.
"Labour government, also, if they tories"
Blimey MD (falky), mentioning both labour and Tories in the same post when he's not at all interested in politics.
Investing and politics are intertwined IMO, especially investing in banks.
"The Organisation for Economic Cooperation Development (OECD) forecasts UK inflation to fall back to 2.9% next year… although this year’s figure is set to average 7.2%, the worst in the G7. At least Rishi is on target to meet one of his pledges by Christmas…
The OECD also expects the UK to hit average growth of around 0.3% this year, up to 0.8% in 2024. Better than Germany… although still small beer. Jeremy Hunt is instead pointing to the IMF figures to cheer everyone up:
“Today the OECD have set out a challenging global picture, but it is good news that they expect UK inflation to drop below 3 per cent next year. It is only by halving inflation that we can deliver higher growth and living standards. We were among the fastest in the G7 to recover from the pandemic, and the IMF have said we will grow faster than Germany, France, and Italy in the long term.”
In the meantime, the Bank of England is expected to hike interest rates to 5.5% on Thursday."
Britain's Lloyds Banking Group (LLOY.L) is in talks with the Barclay family and U.S. private equity firm Carlyle (CG.O) over Very Group, an online retailer and financial services provider, the Financial Times reported on Friday.
The British lender holds a guarantee in the overseas holding companies controlling Very Group that is linked to the distressed debt behind the Telegraph, the report said, citing people with knowledge of the discussions.
"The Very Group continues to perform well and is operating as normal with robust liquidity," a Very Group spokesperson said in an e-mail.
"We remain fully focused on executing the group’s strategy for continued growth and profitability."
Lloyds and Carlyle did not immediately respond to Reuters' requests for comment. The Barclay family could not be immediately reached.

"But when the sp hit 150p+ everyone is a holder...unbelievable!!"
I believe once upon a time everyone was a holder, falky, but don't tell Sid.
I bought in CNA @ 47p and have sold on the way up, but still holding. What's not to like?
'Multibagger,' now with resumed dividends, everyone loves a winner except you, or so it seems.
Don't be envious, share your own successes.
Look around you if you want to see blue, its everywhere. If you didn't take profit from the rise after the concession award, there will never be another opportunity, you've missed the boat.
There's nothing to see here, apparently they told you that, in an RNS. The board isn't talking, what is there to talk about? Sadly, only missed opportunities, which is a shame because there are some decent Lt contributors/investors here.
I hope it will eventually come good for you all, but I somehow doubt it.

"Rachel Reeves is continuing Labour’s long-standing tradition of being utterly inconsistent on tax, though has now begun pirouetting on policy within the same interview. During her Today outing, the Shadow Chancellor slammed the Tories for having “fanned the flames… [with] more unfunded tax cuts.
Minutes later, however, she suggests Labour would pay to keep the new 19% basic rate of income tax by borrowing:
“In emergency situations – and we are absolutely in a national emergency at the moment – you can borrow”
Labour is mitigating this hypocrisy by claiming the difference between Labour and the Tories is that she would not borrow on the same scale. Labour have accepted two thirds of the personal income tax cuts. They are only rejecting one cut, the top rate cut…
Rachel Reeves is now arguing that cancelling the planned corporation tax rise is “wrong”, and Labour wants to see the rate rise in April. This is the same Rachel Reeves that led Labour MPs through the No Lobby in 2021, opposing Rishi’s hike to Corporation Tax."
Flip flop!
"But I do like how all of the media now uses the term "X, formerly known as Twitter" - almost Princelike."
That's for all the idiots that can't keep up and some old gits that are a bit slow on the uptake.
You'll get used to it.
"The steep jump in public debt loads over the past decade and a half, as governments borrowed large amounts of money to battle the Global Financial Crisis and the fallout from the COVID-19 pandemic, is probably irreversible.
That's the unhappy conclusion of a research paper being presented on Saturday to some of the world's most influential economic policymakers at the Kansas City Federal Reserve's annual central banking symposium in Jackson Hole, Wyoming.
Since 2007, worldwide public debt has ballooned from 40% to 60% of GDP, on average, with debt-to-GDP ratios even higher in the advanced countries.
Despite mounting worries about the growth-crimping implications of high debt, "debt reduction, while desirable in principle, is unlikely in practice,"
That's a change from the past, when countries have successfully reduced debt-to-GDP ratios.
But many economies will not be able to outgrow their debt burdens because of population aging, and will in fact require fresh public financing for needs like healthcare and pensions, the authors argued.
A sharp rise in interest rates from historically low levels is adding to the cost of debt service, while political divisions are making budget surpluses difficult to achieve and more so to sustain.
Inflation, unless it surprises to the upside over an extended period, does little to reduce debt ratios.
"High public debts are here to stay," they wrote. "Like it or not, then, governments are going to have to live with high inherited debts."
Doing so will require limits on spending, consideration of tax hikes, and improved regulation of banks to avoid costly blow-ups, they wrote."
"This modest medicine does not make for a happy diagnosis," they wrote. "But it makes for a realistic one."
In short then….
High debt rates are here to stay.
Current inflation rates won't inflate government debt away.
Future Government spending restrictions are here for the long-term as the debt levels become increasingly difficult to service.
Improved regulation of banks (whatever that entails).
Many economies will not be able to outgrow their debt burdens.
As usual, don't listen to politicians.
