@RobertJenrick Once their hedging roles off airlines will be forced to up prices after this Iran war nonsense too. Cheers Donald and Benjamin.

Tomorrow Rachel Reeves will raise taxes on family holidays. A Reform Government would scrap the holiday tax and save the average family £45 on flights. We want families to be able to get away and enjoy themselves.

@iancowie Insane. Truly baffling

This self-denying ordinance makes no sense. We don't have to choose between fossil fuels and renewable energy. We can have both. I know this view is the opposite of algorithm-driven controversialist click bait but there it is.

@LBC @LordBadshot At the taxpayers expense too. Tens of thousands in costs per year to keep him in some cushty jail. Send the c**t back to Afghanistan and let the Taliban deal with him.

#PGH - Finals ✅Rev up 11%, PBT up 23%, EPS up 32%, divis up 41%, cash of £29.0m. ✅Although pre-guided, a monster 15.1p final divi. ➡️Enters 2026 with "strong momentum" and well positioned to continue to grow. ➡️Board has "confidence in continued progress in the year ahead".

@HonestFrank Showboating? He literally lifts his finger in the air! Although agree he needed to go under the sticks!

I’m no rugger expert but the showboating in favour of running closer to the posts may have cost England the win and Ireland the title?? #FRAvENG #SixNations

@EnglandRugby Fair play lads! Significantly better than we have been all tournament. Can't fault the effort tonight! More of that going forward please 🙏

It ends in defeat in France 🌹 #FRAvENG | #GuinnessM6N

@AllBlacks England would have box kicked that after 2 phases!

One of the greats 🫡 The final 5 minutes of that quarterfinal against Ireland.

@YstoneAdvisory Odd reaction today!

#FCH - WOW. For a company that has just posted PBT of £20.3m (up from £3.4m) they are guiding for £35m in 2026 and £75m to £87.5m in 2029. This business has huge operational gearing. Management very confident about future growth and these shares have a lot further to go.

@reb40 Sorry I wasnt trying to be a busy body. I thought there was a difference between the 2

@PMac295 Thank you for the correction Both mean the same in terms of % ahead

#BMY The star author that is Sarah J Maas will please Bloomsbury shareholders this morning FY2026 inline but as a result of Maas publishing 2 books in FY27, profit pre tax is now expected to be significantly ahead of expectations 👍 Good to see

@YourAnonOne Here we go

Hats off to #BRES, the period immediately after a DFS can often be a vacuum, but they have managed it well, and the asset keeps getting better and better. londonstockexchange.com/news-article/B…

@BlencoweRes Another set of fantastic results. Any credence to the rumour that Mike is in Washington this week?

84 years today since 21 Australian nurses marched "chins up" into the sea on a quiet Sumatran beach and were murdered by Imperial Japanese forces. The nurses had earlier refused to flee and leave their patients. Amongst the most gallant of our Greatest Generation. Lest we forget.

Maybe your problems are not as big as you think they are

“The Six Nations starts on Friday.”

@EdgarWulfstan @AlistairCarns Really? Its -20c in Ukraine at the minute. I imagine there or a similar geographical location would be the most likely theatre for us.

@AlistairCarns Serious question to anyone who may know. Why do we do so much cold weather training in these extreme conditions when any potential threat isn’t going to happen in these environments?

I am currently on Reservist training. Here in Norway with the Royal Marine Surveillance and Reconnaissance Squadron. Dusting off some old skills and drills in the Arctic Circle. It’s -18C but still workable for insertion skills. Norway is not just a strategic ally it’s a geopolitical partnership. With Russian submarine and naval activity in the North Atlantic increasing by over 30% in the past two years we need to increasingly work together. Lunar House is our bilateral agreement with the Norwegians and it’s going from strength to strength. This is the biggest deployment of Marines to the high north in some time.

@ShareSpeculator Awesome stuff 👏

That’s January done! I thought I’d kick off 2026 a little differently - cash figures this month rather than YTD%. I’ll probably go back to percentages from next month but it helps to put things into context now and again. A pretty good month for me, +£8,620. Probably pocket-change to the big boys out there but it’s a lot of money to most people (me included) and certainly more than I ever took home from a day job. It's also far more than I need to keep me in the lavish lifestyle I’ve become accustomed to; Luxury cribs & sweet rides (3 bed semi in West Yorkshire & Ford Mondeo Zetec😂). Seriously though, as a trader I get to work for myself with no staff to worry about and no customers to worry about. Just me Vs. Mr. Market. To me, that's living the dream. The usual two strategies at play this month. “Results Trading” – This is my main strategy of seeking out positive catalysts in the form of upcoming result and trading statements. Select the companies very carefully, buy ahead of the news, sell the news. That’s the general idea. “Plinking” – A supplementary strategy. A very short term, very low risk day-trading strategy with a high probability of a small profit. All my trades this month are below. Results Trading profit = £6,234 Plinking profit = £2,386 N/B Before you say “Everything you’ve bought on a Plink has gone loads higher, you should have held!”. I know. I am aware. Sadly, my crystal ball didn’t tell me the market was only heading in one direction this month. Saying that, I know there’s definitely a lot of room for me to improve this strategy and make it a lot more profitable. Rest assured, I will be working on it. Cheers all 🍻 Have a good weekend. #Trading #Investing #Stocks #DayTrading #Livingthedream
