This is the funniest thing I've heard in years:

'Maybe if we'd given Liz a bit more time and support we'd be much better off now' 😂

Populariism is dead easy isn't it - just listen to what you want to hear and 'dream baby dream' as you're sinking.

Fin,

You have your views and I have mine. Just for the record, I never voted Labour at the last GE, however I can't see how any of the others could have done any better.

Calling Starmer a regulation-loving amateur is childish and totally misses the bigger picture. Labour is actually trying to make it easier for builders by streamlining planning permissions and cutting through unnecessary red tape. Blaming leadership changes at companies like Barratt solely on Labour’s policies doesn’t account for other economic factors at play, and as we can see in the news every day there are many.

It was incompetent, Cameron had a mandate and chose not to use it. Instead, he tried to settle divisions in his party - that's why we are no longer in control and are ever more subservient to an orange egotistical warmonger across the pond!

We are all aware of the TЯump induced geopolitical problem in the world. And, I would argue the most incompetent government in history is the Cameron/Osborne fiasco that facilitated shutting us out from our best trading relationships, and then there's the short but crippling Liz Truss incompetence, which is off the scale.

That's complete nonsense, Squid.

The problem is geopolitical and Reform are Tory-Popularists who'll tell you anything you want to hear, just like Trump who got the world into this mess.

I got out first thing this morning - did I do the right thing? Who can tell. For long term holding this hopefully will pass.

For interest rates and mortgages it's not looking good IMO. Trump has gotten himself into something that could run and run.

Iran's new supreme leader, today, has vowed to keep blocking Strait of Hormuz.

If something significant has happened, maybe.

Meanwhile, we wait for the next results 21 May.

It turned out to be a positive day for us, and it wasn't as rough as I expected. I guess I could have been smarter about when to take some profits, nonetheless a profit is a profit. Great job to everyone who stayed in despite the uncertainty. Now, I should think about adding more before we move toward the 90s!

Thanks, BigEgo

When I sell, the sp often goes up!

I sold half of my shares this morning! I decided, I deserve to take some profit at this point (and I'm well up). This move doesn’t reflect any lack of faith in ITV; rather, it's a safety measure considering the situation in the Middle East. Weekends tend to prompt the Orange one to act recklessly; make demands that increase tensions and rock markets. In the current U.S President, who likes to take command of everything personally, we're not dealing with a Field Marshal Bernard Montgomery, but rather an idiot of enormous egotistical incompetence.

I still have a significant holding here. I intend to buy back some on Monday, if favourable. If a takeover deal or a sp surge happens in the meantime, then so be it, I'm still in. As I said, I still have a significant holding.

Yes, Better open than results day!

That's largely due to events in the middle east.

Don't go gently into that good night - turmoil remains and incompetence of the orange one is not done.

But, yes, a better day!

Dangerousdikhead,

What a load of codswallop.

Ukrainians have been betrayed by Russia due to the violation of the Budapest Memorandum, in which Russia, along with the U.S. and U.K., promised to respect Ukraine's sovereignty in exchange for its nuclear disarmament. Despite relinquishing its nuclear arsenal, Ukraine faced aggression from Russia, particularly during the 2014 annexation of Crimea and the ongoing conflict. This breach of trust has fueled a sense of abandonment, as the security assurances that were supposed to protect Ukraine proved ineffective, leaving the country vulnerable to external threats.

Treacherous behaviour is that of Trump, for not getting behind Europe fully and repelling Russia, and for putting NATO in chaos. He needs putting in a padded cell, and they could bung you in there too.

When the time is right.

'It’s got to be at the right price and it’s got to be at the right time. All3 was always smaller than us, and Banijay was always bigger than us, so the combined identity is going to be bigger than us and that’s fine. For us, the size is not as relevant as the labels and the creative talent.”

She added: “We are very confident that we have scale globally… we’re not going to do something that you might say is transformative if it isn’t at the right value for ITV Studios.”

The results are good. It's a market beat, albeit small, in difficult times. And talks are ongoing:

You must be blind, the only treacherous behaviour is that of Trump for not getting behind Europe fully and repelling Russia.

Trump and Farage are the biggest disgraceful lying traitors we've ever seen.

No clear evidence of the threat of the Iranian nuclear program; Epstein smoke screen: falling behind China in green energy; midterm elections approaching.

Even if Iran was a threat, not consulting Congress and singlehandedly warmongering was not a wise move.

I warned you all a bout Trump.

I warned her he will take us to war.

Many of you laughed.

How many times must be lie before people wake up?
