Check out the ten-year gilt yield this morning - after the UK's likely next Prime Minister tried to lecture international investors about the intricacies of fiscal policy and the UK's national accounts. A subject about which she clearly knows absolutely nothing. Nice one @AngelaRayner !!! Markets now demanding 4.9% per annum to lend money to the British government. In Morocco, it's 3.4%. And get this. In February 2026, the UK government a massive £14.3 billion - according to figures released this morning. No less than £13 billion of that money borrowed last month went on interest payments on existing debt. Think about that for one second - it's utterly insane. The UK's national accounts are now akin to a Ponzi scheme. And yet still, lunatic MPs and potential Prime Ministers call for ever more borrowing and spending - "because it's the right thing to do" Labour's chronic economic illiteracy and internal party-political posturing is driving the UK economy off a cliff ... ⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️
Publicly traded companies in Britain must have, or “explain to the regulator” why they do not have: - A minimum of 40% women on their board of directors - A woman CEO, chairman of the board, CFO and/or Senior Independent Director - A board member who is an ethnic minority Why is anybody confused about why so few companies want to list here and so few promising startups scale up here? Would you agree to put people in charge of your company on the basis of their sex or race in order to meet a diversity quota? These rules were brought in by the Conservative Party in 2022, BTW.
