Grrr. Was meant to spend the whole morning reading, but instead I got sidetracked by the little bit of fun that is Polidex (via Tom Watson MP, whose own stock is rocketing) - it’s like Popex, but instead you trade in shares of MPs. So if you want to own a bit of Boris Johnson, now’s your chance. I don’t know what possessed me to buy shares in Hilary Benn, though. 27% loss in a single day - great.

Unlike Popex or Celebdaq you can only profit from the market itself, rather than dividends being paid on how your MP does in real life. Which is a shame, it would be nice to have some reality-based influences on the market.

Right, I’m going to check my portfolio for the ninth time in an hour…
