Well no, with dividends it is well ahead actually. Also the FTSE 100 has little to do with the UK economy, the FTSE 250 is a better gauge of that.

Indeed, and if you have decades still until retirement, now is a great time to buy FTSE250 and UK gilts with the value of the £ the way it is.

It will be interesting to see how well Truss goes down at conference next week.

Arthur Hucksake · 1 Oct 2022 at 20:17

I'm a simple and humble man.

I just hope people vote with their conscience next time around. Things can be better for everyone.

Just fixed our mortgage at 2.5% for the next five years. In my mind, that's how long we have to get through this mess.

Otherwise we will still get by. People need to stick together until we can get these cretins out of government.

Don't care it it's Labour or Tory, someone needs to step up and do what's best for the majority in this country.

Hopefully even those who walk around with Tory blinkers on have had their eyes opened to this absolute disgrace.

Most of them seem to have gone very quiet lately. They'll be getting screwed over too and I doubt they expected that.

Doesn’t matter who’s in government they’re all corrupt to an extent.

But for the sake of this country and the people I hope things do get better and maybe one day honest people who can lead a nation to prosper once more will come into government.

At the end of the day Money talks, and as long as the Money is talking things won’t change.

Its not the face she needs falcon punched in.

Uther · 1 Oct 2022 at 20:28

For sure they'll all need to be walking round with some serious security in future.

i can't see letters going in. They are going to tough this one out to the bitter end. The backbenchers might lean into her to off load Kami Kwasi, however he is doing evrything the extreme right of the party want. The ERG no doubt support all this tax cutting and deregulation it is the natural end game of brexit. It will take the non swivel eyed loony branch of the party to do something and they all lack the moral fortitude or testicles to do anything.

No they are not all the same. Some are very worse than the others.

Next week is key. If its anything like this past week then they might get think they can get someone else in who at least stands a chance at the next GE as if they go in with Truss then its game over.

they aren't all corrupt to an extent, we have just been gaslighted by the likes of Johnson and his cabal to think that as it's in their favour for them to brainwash and gaslight the electorate that way.
