Can't load Daily Mail links as I have told you.

So which of Sunak's catastrophes is it about?

 

Eat out to spread it around scam?

Furlough Fraud?

 

or perhaps Sunak's 'true British success story' which plunged 26% on its first day - today

Deliveroo down further this morning.

(whilst my S&P500 tracker hits a new record high)

Financial Times says its the worst IPO in London's history.

But the advisers still take £49 million in fees.

This is Sunak trying to put London back on the map as a trading centre after the exodus due to Brexit.

"Rishi Sunak, the UK chancellor, who is keen to lure more tech companies to London and who hailed Deliveroo as a “true British success story” was forced to deny that he was embarrassed by the stock’s performance."

 

So what it would take to embarrass Sunak 8-)

Well Done Boris B-) ............

 

 

 

Still waiting for you to tell us what the vaccine rollout had to do with "Boris" *-)

Its about the only thing he hasn't outsourced to hos cronies.

It was handled by the NHS and volunteers.

Which was founded by a Labour Government in the face of Tory opposition.

The MHRA who also used EU law to authorise supply of the vaccine, something we would not be able to do had Covid happened now.

 

The only things Johnson approves are multi million pound "contracts" he dishes out to his chums like the £30 million he gave to a pub landlord, not to mention financing his sordid tacky affairs impregnating various women whilst his wife lay battling cancer in hospital which you seem to approve of.

So would be PM Sunak's 'True British Success Story', founded in 2013 and yet to make a profit, has just widened its losses by 54% to £147 million

Anyone who took the English Government Chancellor of the Exchequers advice and bought Deliveroo shares last year will be about 75% down, (plus inflation as the pound has fallen further)

Well Johnson bought his photo ops with Zelensky (with our money naturally)

And Liz Truss says Russia must be 'brought to its knees'

Russian foreign minister says 'Bring it on'

What happens now?

Will all the carnage and suffering be worth it?

England getting involved in everyone else's wars, promising help and stirring them up to fight, then losing interest and abandoning them to their fate.

Like they did in Iraq and Afghanistan.

And will probably do in Ukraine. - Judging by the number of Ukrainian refugees who have been treated so badly in England they are going back already.

The latest for Sunlit uplands of a dwindling third country;

 

The price cap on energy bills might rise even more than previously thought, experts have said in the latest of a series of worsening warnings.

 

Gas prices spiked again on Monday and unless they drop in the coming months, average households could be facing an annual energy bill of £4,650 from January and £5,456 from April. The price cap on gas and electricity bills is set to increase by around 80% in October.

 

UK energy prices are now so extreme that companies are being forced to relocate abroad, with some warning of hundreds of redundancies.

 

This, along with soaring fuel costs and 40-year high inflation, mean Brits are struggling, as well as the businesses they work for.

 

Speaking to LBC’s Eddie Mair on Monday evening, one caller admitted to closing their UK business and moving it to the Netherlands, as their company simply cannot operate with UK energy prices.

 

“We just gave up,” Lee in Watford said, whose 40-year-old company managed 11 storage and distribution centres for fresh seafood across the UK.

 

Lee said the company had already absorbed 30 to 40 per cent of the rising energy costs, but that they “literally cannot pass on 260 per cent to restaurants and private clients.”

 

The businessman said that, by relocating the company’s centres to Rotterdam, he could get a a 5.5% price cap on energy, and essentially avoid going bankrupt. So on Friday, he announced the closure of the UK business.

 

“We’re looking at 900 redundancies plus,” he said.

 

Lee said that, through Brexit, Covid and the cost of living criss, “We’ve spent £6million trying to navigate this government for the last two or three years as a business.

 

“We’ve got no help. There’s nothing coming from Rishi, Liz, Boris, whatever. There’s no direction at all on what this policy’s going to look like in the next 18 months. You can’t plan a business without some kind of support on that basis.”

 

Across the UK, it is certainly not just Lee’s company that is struggling to keep up with these costs. Last weekend, UK Hospitality said many businesses have already seen bills rise by 300 per cent, and the body warned that a lot of establishments could close as a result.

I can't believe that Grumblin hasn't reported this from one of his favourite publications?

 

https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2022-08-25/london-s-stock-market-misery-grows-as-delistings-add-to-ipo-woes#xj4y7vzkg

Don't feed the Troll....he's slithered back under his rock for now.

 

This chart shows gas storage and consumption by country. Note little Slovakia, pop; 5.7 million yet has three times as much gas stored as UK. We need 833 TWh but only have 10 because we demolished our storage facilities.

 

The UK’s stores hold enough gas to meet the demand of four to five winter days, or just 1% of Europe’s total available storage. The Netherlands has capacity more than nine times the UK’s, while Germany’s is 16 times the size.

 

The Rough storage facility, owned by Centrica, the parent company of British Gas, provided 70% of the UK gas storage capacity for more than 30 years before it shut in 2017 following a government decision not to subsidise the costly maintenance and upgrades needed to keep the site going.

 

In 2013, the then energy minister Michael Fallon said the decision to allow Rough to close would save the UK £750m over 10 years. *-)
