Bonus buck stops with Brown 08:33am on 06 Feb 2009 I agree that we want this to be a successful business in the long term. Therefore any bonus should be limited to rewards such as stock options which mature after 3+ years.

Then the staff will be rewarded and it will be in their interest to create a strong business in the long term. This would obviously be a good result for taxpayers as the major shareholder.
Obama biffs bonuses 10:33am on 04 Feb 2009 I hope Brown and Darling have the courage to follow suit but I wouldn't be so sure.

As this will be a pay cut for these executives lets hope they don't enforce cuts for their workers. We all know where that would lead - Deflation.
Taxes to fall and then rise 4:13pm on 21 Nov 2008 I think predictions that a future VAT rise to 22.5% will raise 20bn are pointless as they are based on too many assumptions on future consumer spending and confidence.

We should be worrying about how we can replace the money which was generated by through the City of London with something that generates sustainable and tangible value e.g. Engineering or Manufacturing
The next accident 08:39am on 23 Sep 2008 A hairy day indeed, and all the more so for a certain Gordon Brown. What a great background to his most important speech as Prime Minister.

At least he won't be saying "No return to Boom and Bust"

Cheers Gordon
