The creation of Lloyds HBOS 6:30pm on 17 Sep 2008 Since every £ Lloyds gives to the shareholders of HBOS for the pleasure of ownership is a £ less that Lloyds will have to fight for the survival of the combined group, I hope it pays 147.10 a share, the market value.
Clarke's 'private chat' 10:23am on 04 Sep 2008 The questionable part of your analysis on behalf of Clarke is "anyone would do better than this" - as the recent polling evidence showed. And maybe this is losing sight of the Labour party's goal - which is not to keep Mr Clarke happy and on-board. He is part of a group that was recently rejected, and were not high (and not rising) in approval ratings.

It may be that Clarke makes some good points, but a scenario with Clarke making some good points and some overstated ones from the sidelines and Brown sticking to the job towards an election in 2010 seems sustainable. Major was never highly charismatic either. The public don't put all the weight on charisma and none on competence.
