What a save.

Well played Ferdi!

Bond yields down and sterling up today.

Solly March, not fit, so not playing which is really hampering our options. Plus he's just not good enough so if he was fit he shouldn't start, but you just know the manger would select him, they all do.

Yep, as @Crawley Dingo showed, this is why they and Trump supporters want him to win. They want an obnoxious unscrupulous sleazebag. It's a quite sad state of affairs really. What would hurt Trump more is if he came out and started being normal and not an obnoxious unscrupulous sleazebag.

Surprised Reeves is surprised there is a bit of an increase, seems like it would/should have been expected? Definitely something to be aware of though, as far from ideal, but how much of this focus is a result of Gilt market PTSD following Truss' bull in a china shop budget?

Yesterday, after the budget, the £ recated postively agaisnt the $. Today's selloff was when US data was published this PM UK time. But UK borrowing did jump yesterday, now decreasing...

That drop has likely come about as a result of financial data from the US today, suggesting less doveish rate cuts, than previously envisaged, from the Fed... That said there was a spike in the cost of uk borrowing after the budget, but that is subsiding a bit.

You need to finish the sentence though. "Labour will not increase taxes on working people, which is why we will not increase National Insurance, the basic, higher, or additional rates of Income Tax, or VAT." You might as well just say that Labour have said in their manifesto that: "Labour...

In the sense of NI they would be paying more tax as an employer.

Yeah, but you missed the first bit, "we will ensure taxes on working people are kept as low as possible". They then qualify that further, but agree it’s clear as mud (VAT, fuel duty etc.). However, and crucially, they absolutely didn’t say that they wouldn’t increase taxation on working...

I dont think they did actually say that (no increased taxation on working people). the below is from the manifesto. https://manifesto.deryn.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/Labour-Party-manifesto-2024.pdf I always understood the promise was no increase in NI, IT or VAT. Admittedly they...

I'm up for invading the Cayman Islands, anyone else?

Will debt interest payments decrease if we redefine debt?

12 year old kids don't run businesses or book plane tickets or need immediate alerts about fraudulent pocket money transfers :shrug:
