I recently started watching GB News and am finding it so interesting. Once you get past the different format to the usual news programmes it is very good. There are so many different views expressed from all political spectrums. I like that contributors are allowed to say their piece and it's then debated. Not just left or right wing views.

So, I havent looked at any news today, will there be a 3rd resignation?
Taking bets?🤣

There has been 3. Can’t remember his name.

Namsnanny Fri 28-Jul-23 13:37:04

Has there? How did I miss that 😳

Namsnanny Fri 28-Jul-23 13:52:24

So its officially Alison Rose, Peter Flavel and Howard Davies?

Namsnanny Fri 28-Jul-23 13:53:11

All I can find is HD saying he won't resign.

They’re just discussing migrant accommodation now and plans to move two thousand migrants into RAF Scampton has been delayed until October, so now they are going to get some marquees that will house 2000 migrants!
And still the small boats come..🤷‍♀️(is migrant, even the right word in the situation?)

Such arrogance..

Apparently the bank cant carry on with out him and his years of expertise!!!

My take is the share price might pick up if another self serving banker leaves the industry.

So if he dropped dead the bank would close then without his expertise? 😁😂

Latest on Howard Davies, he will do his duty and stay on (huh!),

But lucky for us he will organize an Independent Review.

Which will be carried out by Travers Smith.

But how independent will it actually be?

Will that matter though?
As they will be hoping the public will have forgotten/given up on this topic/moved on (as is often the case) so no one will care what conclusion the whitewash inquiry will come to.

Hurrah!
Ian Duncan Smith, is calling for an investigation into ESG with in the FCA.

I remember a couple of months ago he was talking about what could be done, but he now agrees that the NF banking scandal has given his position a big push.

Shudder. No thanks.

Namsnanny Tue 01-Aug-23 13:02:01

🤣🤣🤣 to what, freedom from Alison Rose who told lies?
No, to a more fair society?

Isnt that grand?
You can dislike someone, and in fact they you, but you still benefit from their actions.
Democracy in action

I knew about the Chelmsford accommodation. It's a converted office block and doesn't comprise "luxury" appartments.

Look at the photos on the link!!

Chelmsford City Council had initially refused permission for the office block to be converted into 94 flats due to inadequate natural light and the size of some of the flats.

Do they sound like "luxury" appartments? Each one will have at least three inhabitants.

I've seen other articles in local papers. I know the building. Read the comment about inadequate natural light and the size of the apartments. Not exactly luxury!
