'In Munich on Saturday, Sir Keir made a sustained argument for greater defence spending to meet the threat from Russia.'

The government are certainly getting the priorities right in my view:

Significant increase to defence spending in the pipeline.

Yeah, I'm thinking it's a good share to keep coming back to. Although, I'm not going to myself until things change in the U.S..

"If there's nothing else I can communicate today," California Governor Gavin Newsom said at a conference event on Friday, "Donald Trump is temporary. He'll be gone in three years."

Starmer at the Munich Security Conference:

"As Europe, we must stand on our own 2 feet"

"That means being bolder, it means putting away petty politics & short-term concerns. It means acting together to build a stronger Europe & a more European NATO"

......

Fine words. Now we all need to ditch Farage's Reform which facilitated the situation we are now in. Brexit and Trumpian dreams have been an embarrassing disaster - let's see corresponding action to try and reverse the damage.

Let's see corresponding action.

'Fllods New Build Nightmares'

Not at good look for Gleeson on ITV investigation Tonight.

To add to the flood issues the quality of workmanship is generally poor. This is a skills shortage since Brexit IMO.

Ministers exploring a return of 'Help to Buy'

...or am I failing to heed the warnings?

That is the question.

I've been observing from a distance, and it seems that the volatility has created a potential opportunity, even if it's somewhat speculative. I'm cautiously invested as of now!

Overall, the January survey points to a housing market that may be entering the early stages of recovery:

The RNS was not as bad as someske out. I tend to go long most of the time, so I topped up today too. I'm fairly sure this is the year of turnaround, so will hold for another year or two topping up on the dips along the way.

In a response to Ofcom’s consultation on STV’s request to change its regional programming commitments, the NUJ has stated it “believes that the ITV/Comcast talks are at a much more advanced stage than has been made public”.

It could happen very soon:

Bellway issued results today:

'There are clear signs of improving customer demand in the early weeks of the current spring selling season compared to the subdued trading environment through the autumn.'
