    Noticed that too Terry. Everything in Rugby was selling pretty much the moment it went on the market, a house around the corner from us has had the for sale board up for 4 weeks now, not seen that in our area for a good couple of years.

    Look at his employment history, look at who has financed his political career, look at who’s benefited from his policies. I’ll give you a clue. All the same people. Just to add clips of the leadership contest are doing the rounds of Rishi Sunak saying this is what would happen if she did it...

    What a mess the country is in. Me and the wife were reminiscing last night about how we were saying in 2009 that at least all this happening now means our children will leave school into a better economic environment than friends of ours who had kids much much younger than us and their kids were...

    What a conundrum. Glad I’m not in your position. There’s so many potential variables. Assuming you have a fixed rate on the mortgage agreement? If so how long is it fixed for? If mortgage rates go through the roof at least short term how exposed are you going to be to having a mortgage that you...

    You can’t blame the BOE for not raising interest rates enough pre budget, especially a budget that the government was selling as a mini budget. This is on the government. The market is shitting it’s pants of the back of the budget not the actions of the BOE.

    Apparently it’s traders being unpatriotic. And anyone noticing is also unpatriotic.

    It’s not really a conspiracy when it’s happening right in front of your very eyes.

    The best argument to have stuck with Boris seems to be Liz Truss as PM, if they get rid of Truss the best argument for keeping Truss will be who is available to replace her. If this lot were true patriots they’d call a GE now, the Tories are already scrapping the bottom of the barrel for...

    I think it was quite deliberate. As were his comments on the media rounds yesterday to trigger another fall. Some Tory donors did very well out of this, including his ex boss, friend, personal mentor and sponsor. All he wants is to migrate money from the poor to the rich. If that isn’t obvious...

    BOE planning on an emergency rise in interest rates off the back of the pound sliding. Emergency rise doesn’t sound good, sounds like it might be a big one.

    My sister and brother in law are there at the moment. He was telling me a couple of weeks ago that the new ferries are hydrogen powered and as shown in the film you linked they generate their own hydrogen using wind power.

    In theory we’ve doing that for years. We have the lowest taxes for businesses in the G7 apparently. Also the lowest investment rates in the G7. Taxes don’t seem to be the issue in attracting investment into the UK.

    Certainly like the ambition for offshore. We have one of the longest coastlines in Europe, we should utilise it. The solar plan needs more details, we have untold amounts of acres of space for solar on roofs, industrial units especially, we should be utilising that rather than filling fields up...
