Bit late. Should have sold at 330p. Now supported by a yield of 7%, they seem like a good buy. Probably more upside than down. I'm sure she'll take whatever credit is due, if they recover.

God. She's a ******* joke. The building her old campaign office was in is great. Bottom floor her office. Top floor loads of illegal immigrant squatters!

Nice.

Kind of like Kenneth Clarke being on the board of British American Tobacco. They all do it.

It's only fair.

At least he has the saving grace of being an affable individual that you can warm to.

She used to be a Tory until her first husband dumped her. Then she became an embittered old feminist trout and an ID card carrying socialist.

The rest, as they say, is an abysmal history of failure and incompetence.

It is a blatant lobbying contract - I believe there are no rules to stop this though...

Is she still an MP? If so it sounds like this is a blatant lobbying contract - ain't there rules for these things?

A spokesman for the telecoms group said that her experience as health secretary would give the company, which works for the Department of Health on a number of software and systems integrations contracts, insight from a client perspective.

Oh FFS!

And in LTSB. How can a chief exec of one of the biggest british banks be giving his absolute all when he's going to be involving himself in other companies affairs??
