Milliband delivering a better speech than the PM. Who would have thought.
I get the need to create new jobs in industry using global warming as an excuse. Unfortunately, this is going to mean higher energy bills.
I approve of better working conditions for people, as worker rights have been erased over recent decades.
If only the big unions didn't own Labour and didn't abuse their power and hold the country to ransom.
Unfortunately, mass immigration is the overriding problem that has to be addressed. Labour and Tories will not fix this.
Labour are still talking about 'racists'. They just don't get it.

It is a measure of UK prosperity (shares are bought with an horizon of a year's time in mind) It certainly doesn't belong to any one party Sauce for the goose! If you read the Tory press then it is always the very silly season. The Tories are now an empty vessel,sound and fury signifying F all.

They never knew the way. Wilson, Callaghan, Kinnock, Foot, Blair, Brown, Corbyn and now TTK.
Not one of them deserving of any praise.

Sorry I missed your reply.
Your post has already been answered well but I'll just throw in the following titbits.
The Brexit vote was betrayed by the Tories as well you know. The Boriswave and the constant pressure from the Treasury for high immigration to shore you our economy is
Remaining in the EU meant that immigration could never be sorted out.
However being outside the EU means that a right wing government has the tools to take on the globalised liberal elites on their workforce replacement stance, plus Blairite/Davos, 'you will own nothing', 'digital ID' control systems.....Anyone with half a brain cell knows they want a version of the Chinese social credit system.
The liberal/left neoliberalism we have been living under for thirty odd years is highly unpopular all around Europe (no wonder it's been a disaster for any other than a few) and new answers are being looked for.

FTSE over 10,000 earlier today, not sure if it's an all time high, but must be close. The 250 is a better indicator of UK plc.

It is an all time high…but before we get too excited, the main reason is likely that international investors are bypassing USA because of Trumps tariffs stance and are investing in the next safe place; the UK.
Those are not my assumptions but what is reported in today’s Guardian, so I am not sure that Labour can take much credit for it.

It used to be oil heavy and move with the price of crude, it was the most recent thread on the index rather than political.
FTSE is not a good barometer. Unemployment high, nation debt high, productivity low, most of the key economic numbers are not great so why do investors think the stock market is the place to be?

A lot of theFTSE earnings are from operations spread around the world so there is a spread of risk. If all the FTSE earnings were from within the UK the outcome would be different and a lot less appealing.

Good for your pension fund too.
This, for example HSBC is a key component and profit is heavily weighted outside of UK
'tis indeed a record ,yes the 250 is more reflective but uk exports biggest are in the 100.
Sure, but that's hardly a ringing endorsement of the UK economy. 😀
Well they are not put off by the anti- Labour rhetoric, we have heard from Currys that Rachel Reeves smashed their business into the dust with a two and a half percent national insurance hike,so what actually happened? They produced record profits up by 140% so I smell a porky or two.

Fun fact I read the other day, 3 years ago an ounce of gold would buy the equivalent of 17 barrels of oil, now it's nearly 80.
Fresnillo was the biggest UK stock market gainer no surprise that it is a gold miner and no one made money out of the Klondike Gold Rush except a Mr. Levi Strauss who made tough workwear. you can still buy there jeans today.
