Sorry it's a 9th of BlackRock's AUM.surrey_commuter said:
thank yourick_chasey said:
Not that much. All the executed trades on behalf of those assets happen somewhere else etc.surrey_commuter said:
I get that, but we have already counted those jobs. Half of our annual GDP leaving sounds bad but I wondered what the practical consequences are.rick_chasey said:
The jobs of the people who are responsible for those assets move with it.surrey_commuter said:
Two questions;ddraver said:
Is that the bouncy bridge? if so have never seen that angle before
What is the downside to £1trn of assets moving out of the UK?
For context, the entire asset management industry (globally) manages c.$110 trillion.
It's a 6th of blackrock's AUM, for example.
I would say that in the context of the City of London, $1trillion is still an awful lot and thousands of (very well paid) jobs will be lost as a result.0 -
In recent polling in NI
48% want to scrap the protocol (v 46% to keep it)
however
56% want their MLAs to vote to stay in the EU single market in 3 years time.

Arlene Foster under pressure to go
The NI Protocol a major factor
Not hardline enough for her party anymore either
Broke ranks with her party to abstain on a vote banning 'Conversion Therapy' as a treatment for homosexuality

No. Most DUP members voted against the ban.Pross said:

Had a similar reaction to someone on twitter raging that "46% of Republican Voters though Derek Chauvin shouldn't have been convicted"
Bad....but also quite good. I'd not have been surprised if it had been way higher.We're in danger of confusing passion with incompetence

France talking tough on Brexit again. Unless UK does something the EU shouldn't give it something it is not going to anyway.
"The United Kingdom is expecting quite a few authorisations from us for financial services. We won't give any for as long as we don't have guarantees on fishing and other issues,"

If Foster goes, the DUP will need to nominate a First Minister
If they refuse to nominate a First Minister the Executive collapses
If the Executive collapses it could lead to an election
The DUP may see this as unionism's best chance at regaining a majority to vote down the Protocol

They're trying to thread a difficult path of supporting it in absence of alternatives but recognising it needs fixed.TheBigBean said:

Question is how will this path effect their vote.
In polling done in Jan Alliance were up a touch but the DUP had lost ground to the more hard line TUV.. This prompting a harder anti Protocol stance from the DUP
The interesting polling last week was 48% to 46% in favour of scrapping the Protocol with 56% wanting their MLA to vote to stay in the Single Market.....“New York has the haircuts, London has the trousers, but Belfast has the reason!0 -

It would be nice even if they got to the 20th century first.0 -
I just hope Jim Allistair and the TUV get nowhere near power.
TWH, I only have a passing knowledge of NI politics but are the UUP completely gone as an electoral force now?
I was really hoping there might be an end in sight for green and orange politics, and that the Alliance would get a much stronger foothold.0 -
Arlene Foster has gone. Huge ramifications.0

This is all going swimmingly.0

That as may be but the fact that a more hardliner is likely to get the job is bad for the peace and prosperity of NI.sungod said:

Does this solve the issue of the green energy scandal or is that resolved already?
In NI political terms is she seen as a nutter or a voice of reason?0 -

Equidistant between moderate and extreme I would say. Edwin Poots, the favourite to get the job has some interesting views......surrey_commuter said:Does this solve the issue of the green energy scandal or is that resolved already?

i.e. they are chosing to move further away from the EU rules so any likelihood of equivalence is significantly reduced.
Depending on your perspective you're liberating parts of the system from restrictive rules and being 'competitive' or they're moving the dial in the reckless direction.0 -
