Nigel Farage and Makerfield

[warey4life]

I like Ed.

So do I, he's a thoroughly decent bloke.

 

[warey4life]

Of course Nigel is going to post stock images representing his activities rather than real time selfies seting out exactly which pub he is in.

This is a man who has provably been the target of assassination attempts and Russian attacks.

He, naturally, takes his security seriously.

Farage is a Russian asset, they wouldn't attack him, and by assassination, do you mean when one of his wheels came loose in his car?

I can only remember the hilarious moments when he got milkshaked.

Liz Trusss' intentions and instincts were good, though very poorly implemented. The intentions of this current 'administration' are sinister - bordering on evil.

The rantings of a gas-lit ignoramus.

 

[warey4life]

The BoE manipulated the markets during Truss's time in office, there's some good evidence that the establishment didn't approve and wanted her out.

Anyway, whatever the reasons, the UK's current credit-worthiness is now vastly worse than it was when Truss was PM. Because the markets think Labour are less competent than her.

Utter crap.

All that security and one guy gets him to slink off

What the heck are you waffling about? Liz Truss caused the bond yield to spike. The sustained, long term level of the bond yield under Labour is now higher than it ever was in that very short Truss spike. Because Starmer's Labour are perceived by the markets as being less competent than Truss was.

Burnham's Labour party will be seen as a massive risk, so will make it spike much higher, to a point where the UK govt can't afford to pay the interest on its current debt, never mind borrow any more for all Burnham's fake promises.

Here you go, I've put a cursor on that Truss peak for the hard of thinking...

Have you not noticed that this govt has stopped mentioning Truss? It's because they don't want to be compared to her.

That most recent spike is the result of the possibility of Burnham becoming PM. As soon as he becomes an MP it will let rip.

If you look at the data, you've misrepresented it.
You presented only 4 years of a 10 year chart.
Here is the 10 year Bond Yield chart.

UK 10 Year Bond Yield - Quote - Chart - Historical Data - News

The yield on United Kingdom 10Y Bond Yield rose to 4.81% on June 19, 2026, marking a 0.05 percentage points increase from the previous session. Over the past month, the yield has fallen by 0.17 points, though it remains 0.26 points higher than a year ago, according to over-the-counter interbank...

Then it becomes obvious that the chart starts its meteoric rise in December 2021, which happens to align with the Covid outbreak 'stretching its legs.
In December 2021, the number of cases continued to climb due to several factors, including new COVID-19 variants.

Then in February 2022 Putin invaded Ukraine, which caused the Bond Yield to continue its climb.
On 24 February 2022, Russia invaded Ukraine,

Then in July 2022 the real surge began. What happened in July 2022?
July 2022 United Kingdom government crisis
When Joris Bohnson fell from grace in a spectacular fashion.

Of course the rise continued after Liz's fall from ignominy to obscurity. This was the usual reaction to world events.

So liz Truss cannot take all the credit, only some of it. The real culprits were the catastrophuc of the Tory party and other world events that caused the rise in Bond Yields.

I would suggest that if you are going to present a chart of 10 years, you include the whole chart, not your cropped version of it.
I would suggest that, but I know it will fall on deaf ears, shut eyes and closed minds.

And now the Daily Fail having is panicking.

It "urges anyone intending to back Restore Britain to reflect very carefully. Splitting the Right-wing vote can only lead to disaster – and the figures clearly show that only Reform UK is in a position to beat Labour."

You reap what you sow.

But the figures did not show that at all.

I imagine the Torey vote went mainly to re form, by the same margin that re store poached the re form vote. Burnam also picked up from the Greens and others

Add them all together, and they still lose.

 

[blup]

Add them all together, and they still lose.

You have to factor in that the Greens didn’t push hard so Labour retained that element of their vote share. And Burnam’s image was a factor

I have to factor in that Labour won more votes than all the others put together.

I have to factor in that Deform lost by a large margin.

I have to factor in that Farridge's company shrivelled away.

Actually it appears that the truth hurt...

And how could anyone be on a level below 'gas 'em all, hitler was right' nige?

 

[Ivor Windybottom]

Utter crap.

Thanks for your detailed in-depth analysis. Which part of what I said was utter crap?

Do you believe that the bond yield has improved since Labour took power? If so then I have news for you. It's worse, lots worse, and sustained, not just a freak spike.

Strange that these "world events" always cause economic catastrophe under Labour governments.

I didn't crop anything, it was a 5-year chart, as stated.

Oh, I see, you think that a graph of a "10 year bond yield" should always be over a 10-year period. Oh dear, you really don't understand what a bond yield is.
