UK government bond yields surged to multi-decade highs today, and sterling slid sharply, as political uncertainty and fiscal concerns unsettled markets.

Markets  fear chancellor Rachel Reeves was being "managed out," recalling that yields spiked when her position was last seen as under threat in July.

The 30-year gilt yield jumped to 5.71%, its highest level in 27 years. Brokers said that investors were uneasy about the rising costs of servicing.

26th November when the the budget will be unveiled and we'll be told what how much more tax they'll be taking to bleed us dry. If you thought the last budget was bad, you ain't seen nothing yet.

It will come to a stage where we don't own anything because the State with it's taxes has left us skint.

    • Certainly the infamous (and mythical) SE London cat killer turned out to be foxes attacking dying and dead cats injured by cars, but fox: cat encounters do appear to happen, even where cats are victorious. Fox: adult humans less so. At least where foxes are the aggressors.
    • That was very kind of you to take the cat to the vet. Did the car not stop?
    • This is a bit outside our area, but I'm posting in case .... Last night (Sat.20 Dec), around 10.30, we saw a cat hit by a car in St Norbert Road, SE4.  We took him to the out of hours vet in Beckenham, where they confirmed that he had died.  They will see if he is microchipped, and contact the owner if so.  They were very kind.   He was a lovely cat, grey and white.  He must have died very quickly.  So sorry to be the bearer of bad news 😞 The vet is Medivet in Beckenham, tel: 0208 650 2003.
    • Watching my cats over the years with foxes, I've found that foxes have totally ignored them. One exception was when a young fox hadn't seen my cat and found himself eye to eye with my cat at a distance of 1 metre. There was a stand off but the fox blinked first and my cat chased him out of the garden. So proud of her. I believe when foxes have attacked cats, the cat has been vulnerable  - old, young, ill wounded.
