Yep, although the issue is more the see saw of 10 years going up and stock down. Those 10 years are frighteningly high. There'll come a point where the bonds are the safer investment...I suspect this morning was the start of investor shift. Re HL, I've transferred my SIPP to HL, and am moving ISA over. The fees are so much lower, and the positive of the app being a bit shit is I don't spend time looking at it!!

Sweepstake on him becoming Iranian?

Wise. The only consolation is I think there'll be a big dip to buy in.

Hopefully they ignore the reality they face if voting for Nigel or Lowe. As much as I broadly agree with you as to where our economy is at, an austerity system under reform (or Lowe's lot) is not the answer. Alas, the Tories (not helped by COVID, granted) made a bad situation a lot worse, and left no platform for any government to easily build on.

I'd read that it had degraded, hence it didn't work as it should. That said, I struggle with the idea of banging someone up for 30 years then killing them.

The FTSE has fallen on it's arse this morning, and the 10 years are at 5.5% Dangerous territory.

Our 10 years are above theirs, and growing scarily quickly. Latest figures below. The FTSE was up this am and the 10 years down, and those positions reversed during the day. The markets will inevitably fall when yields are this attractive. I'm starting to move things around a wee bit.

It's unbelievable, and seems to be much more sinister than "just" the fight initially reported.

Gotcha, thanks that. Breaching an NDA isn't clever, but it's hard to see how that undermines the decision itself. Let's see where this goes.

Whatever the word used, City aren't prejudiced by the outcome being out there. The appeal tribunal will decide it on its merits. I suspect you've listened to a media hungry lawyer.

What do you mean by "defence"? They've made their defence, and lost. An appeal would focus on the decision being wrong. A leak of the outcome wouldn't prejudice that - the appeal tribunal will know the decision as they'd be deciding if it was wrong.

That was a ridiculous thing to ask him. Part of my work involves SEND kids, and ADHD diagnosis is common place, but many kids are deemed to be disregulated by neuro divergence when I'm reality they're impacted by hormones, diet, immaturity, and all manner of things. Like Whelk, I'd probably be diagnosed, but what would be the point. I don't need the badge. Or PiP. Although a cheap mobility motor sounds appealing.

I think it was probably a combination of the reality being harder than theory as you suggest, plus some policy and PR people around him turning him into the wet lemon he became. The knee nonsense, for example, was undoubtedly a suggestion from policy and PR people, and I'm not sure it got any better for him after that.
