This national service talk is a move towards more communism.

The state using power to create a labour force that costs £0. Working in the NHS and other institutions.

China, Russia and North Korea have the same type of policies,

Tory party is claiming credit for getting inflation numbers down.

Summer 2025 Labour will do the exact same thing on interest rates. They’ll claim credit for rates getting cut.

Reality is both parties have very little control over inflation and rates.

That’s politics for ya.

Brexit hasn’t broke the Conservative Party because it’s not driving votes away.

Brexit is hurting the party because it put off under-40s from voting Tory.
This group will soon dominate elections.

This is the first ever time under-40s are no longer converting to Tory voters.

This number doesn’t surprise me.

Conservatives have become toxic culture war corporatists.

Right leaning millennials who should vote Tory aren’t.

The Tory Party has turned SME businesses, capitalists, entrepreneurs, libertarians and even the stock market against it.

I didn’t know that historically the British stock market outperforms under a Labour government and underperforms under a Tory government.

It’s going to be a depressing and entertaining 6 wks.

Deeply divisive political wars, drunk guys up lampposts sniffing packets, bods sticking flares up their backside.

Spoiler, it won't work.

All parties hate renters, they are the cannon fodder of the housing market.

The UK property obsession is FTB and keeping the ownership Ponzi going.

It's a shame ranters need to be the ones who miss out.

13 out of these 15 stocks finished off in positive territory.
Not really much movement on the price but 86% are in the green.

So traders aren’t ultra bullish but they’re not bearish. If they didn’t welcome Labour then these stocks would’ve entered negative territory.

£100 each so £1.6bn dished out to members.

At current profits nationwide could go public at a £25bn valuation.

16m Brits convert from members to shareholders.

A client sent me the screenshot below.
She’s holding roughly £1,300 of VIX CFDs.

IG are charging her £3.33 a day to hold this position. Roughly £16.50 a week. £859 for a year, 66% interest.

Chris Beauchamp Can you explain this or do we get the FCA involved?

If Nationwide Building Society went public on the stock exchange all of its 16m members will receive stock worth £1,000-£1,300.

If members were aware of this it would push them to take the BS public. They own the business so they should reap some rewards from it.

Do traders think Labour Party will actually build houses?

When markets open tomorrow the price of these stocks should show us.

The last World Cup UK drinks sales exceeded inflation👇

If a lot of money enters drinks, food and transport due to a hot summer and England doing well in the Euros, we could see a small spike in inflation. This will delay a cut in interest rates.

Keep your eyes peeled on it.

On a macro level yes you’re right but micro wise there will be rewards from a Labour government.

They’ll spend spend spend and that will be bullish and rewarding.

The question is how do we capture these rewards?
Two weeks of researching and hopefully I can have the answers.
