Taylor Wimpey has expressed confidence in its capital allocation strategy, stating it can consistently provide reliable dividends. Given the current share price, it appears to be an attractive bargain IMO. Furthermore, while not finalided, there are exciting proposals in the pipeline:

Yes, I heard that too, PokerChips,

I would say the government is serious. What they should also do is tackle gazumping, it can be a heart-wrenching experience, which rarely happens in Scotland as in other parts of the UK.

From my point of view, it's reasonable to touch on politics provided it dosen't become too much of a rant for one's own ideologies. The government has made 'increasing housing' a central part of their agenda; they have something to prove. If they can get their act together, which I think they will, and engage with communities, they can tackle the challenges. It’s all about showing that they can navigate the planning maze and actually deliver on their promises. Instead of writing off well-intended vision, with constant negativity, let’s advocate for it to happen!

Dismissing new towns as a 'complete fantasy' really misses the mark. Sure, there are planning hurdles and public objections, but that's where political will comes into play.

It seems that Norway is now looking for security through collective alliances, if only there was some sort of club that could help!

Norway is recognised for its commitment to preventing the spread of nuclear weapons. Additionally, it is not part of the European Union (EU), largely due to choices made during referendums. Nevertheless, when faced with isolation and a precarious global situation, alternative strategies often emerge as a plan B. It seems that Norway is now looking for security through collective alliances.

Since selling my GSK, I need to get some invome. Positioned as an income stock rather than a growth stock. TW has reaffirmed its commitment to a robust dividend policy, which is a key attraction for me at the moment.

Thanks, Couerdelion.

I'm probably going to regret it yes, but you live and learn. I've made a decent profit - that's all I need to focus on. Other possibilities will now be checked out.

I’ve sold my entire holding. While I believe the sp will keep rising, ( estimste 18 - 22) the unstable situation in the U.S. under a poor-performing President is heavily on my mind. I've had a successful experience and ended on a positive note. Wishing everyone the best. I’ll probably return at some point.

I guess not too many will miss my Trump bashing!

After the beating Murdoch took, I don't think he'd be too keen to open that can of worms again. It is highly believed his cronies destroyed a huge amount of potential evidence. If any of it resurfaced, his empire would be in for another damaging episode. I can't imagine they'd want ITV, except perhaps to manipulate the public - which was traditional for his declining rags.

Perhaps the approval of a pipeline drug is the reason for today's rise? We might receive an RNS soon.

Our friends in Europe are taking the threat seriously. The UK government, IMO, is doing the right thing in defense spending. We cannot stop an aggressor like this without close collaboration:

A decent set of results, which is expected in October and final in March, won't be the work of the new CEO but rather the legacy of the last.

... although to be fair the whole market was up this morning. Possible peace deal in Gaza, according to the press.
