I tipped this British stock when its shares cost 19p. Today they're worth £1.44... and here are four more UK stocks that deliver through thick and thin: MIDAS SHARE TIPS
Some firms are one-hit wonders - all the rage for a year or two before fading into insignificance or collapsing altogether. It's much harder to keep a company going for decades, ensuring customers are happy, adapting to change and delivering growth year in, year out. For investors, however, they can be the most rewarding stocks to own.

Virginia governor's race a test of Trump's grip on competitive state
WASHINGTON, June 15 (Reuters) - Virginia's governor election this year is a popularity test for Republican President Donald Trump and his policies, presenting an opportunity for Democrats to claw back some power after the party's recent election rout. The southern state holds a primary on Tuesday that will determine who faces off in the November 4 general election. The process is largely a formality as Democrats and Republicans each have only one candidate, likely meaning either Republican Lieutenant Governor Winsome Earle-Sears, the first Black Republican elected statewide, or Democrat Abigail Spanberger, a former three-term U.S. Representative, will become the state's first woman governor. The state's off-year election is often seen as a referendum on the presidency. Only once since 1977 has Virginia picked a governor from the same party as the sitting president. Four years ago, Republican Governor Glenn Youngkin ran against former President Joe Biden's pandemic-era policies and won. Virginia law does not allow governors to serve consecutive terms. The three major non-partisan U.S. election ratings groups and recent public opinion polls give Spanberger a slight edge in the general election. "The race is likely to be competitive. It's not going to be a blowout one way or another,' said Jennifer Victor, a political science professor at George Mason University. Trump's government overhaul, previously led by Tesla CEO Elon Musk, hit parts of Virginia's more than 144,000 federal civilian workforce, from the northern suburbs outside Washington, D.C., to the southern part of the state that is home to a large military presence. "There is going to be this question of federal workers just because of how much it was taken as a direct assault on Virginia and what Virginia contributes to the nation," said Claire McKinney, a government professor at the College of William & Mary. Norfolk's Port of Virginia, the nation's ninth-largest water port based on tonnage, is also bracing for the potential full implementation of Trump's sweeping tariff threats. "If people start feeling their prices go up, and start feeling businesses start laying people off, which I think is likely if these tariffs have the impact that I expect, that would be terrible for Sears," said Derrick Max, a Republican who leads the free-market Thomas Jefferson Institute for Public Policy in Virginia. "But if Trump is using this as a bargaining chip and the tariffs never really go into effect and we end up getting some trade deals out of it, it's a bonus for Sears." Spanberger was first elected to the U.S. House of Representatives in the 2018 midterm elections during Trump's first term. One of five women with national security backgrounds who helped Democrats capture a House majority, the former CIA officer is using similar tactics to rail against the administration's latest policies and congressional Republicans' proposed tax and budget legislation. Virginia's politically diverse electorate requires Spanberger to break into more rural areas that have been a challenge for the national Democratic Party, according to Brandy Faulkner, a politics professor at Virginia Tech. "She's going to have to get out of that little bubble and really see what ordinary people in the non-metro areas are concerned about and why they've been voting as they have been," Faulkner said. Spanberger said in a statement that if elected she would focus on lowering costs, strengthening the state economy and schools, and protecting freedoms. "Virginians deserve leaders who will always put their jobs, schools, and communities first," Spanberger said. Earle-Sears, who served in the U.S. Marine Corps, is hoping her statewide record coupled with Trump's popularity in parts of the state far from the Washington suburbs can turn out the conservative base. "I will never stop fighting to make life more affordable, our schools stronger, and our communities safer. We've delivered important progress over the past four years, and we still have so much more to do," Earle-Sears said in a statement. In New Jersey, the only other U.S. state holding a governor's race this year, Democratic U.S. Representative Mikie Sherrill - a former Navy pilot and federal prosecutor who was also first elected in the 2018 midterms - will face Trump-backed Republican former state Assemblyman Jack Ciattarelli.

Major bank to axe key bank account perk for thousands of customers within days
A major bank will axe a key bank account perk for thousands of customers in a matter of days. Halifax, part of Lloyds Banking Group, is getting rid of "Extras" for Rewards current account holders. The bank currently charges a £3 monthly fee to run this bank account and customers are given freebies in return for hitting certain targets. For example, customers can get £5 paid into their bank account or a free cinema ticket if they either spend £500 on their debit card each month or hold a balance of over £5,000. Halfiax has plans to close down this service come September, meaning customers who meet these targets will no longer get a reward. To prepare for this, Halifax has told customers that from June 17 they will no longer be able to add Reward Extras to their account or renew an existing Reward Extras offer. But it is not all bad news as the bank is axing the service to make way for a number of new features. Currently, Halifax charges a £3 monthly fee to run this bank account and customers are given freebies in return for hitting certain targets. For example, customers can get £5 paid into their bank account or a free cinema ticket if they either spend £500 on their debit card each month or hold a balance of over £5,000. But the bank has plans to close down this service come September, meaning customers who meet these targets will no longer get a reward. This includes fee-free debit card spending abroad and a £100 interest free arranged overdraft to existing and new eligible Reward account customers. Rewards customers are currently charged a 2.99% fee for using their debit card abroad. Fresh wave of bank branches set to close for good in June That means customers are currently charged an extra £2.99 for using their debit card to pay £100 abroad. This change will come into effect on August 1. Customers who meet the requirements will also be allowed to enter into a £100 overdraft and not face any interest. OTHER BANK CHANGES The Co-operative Bank announced it would be increasing the monthly charge on its Everyday Extra package bank account in July. Currently, customers pay a monthly fee of £15, totalling £180 a year. But starting from July 1, this fee will increase to £18 a month—an extra £36 annually. Elsewhere, Lloyds recently hiked the cost of its Club Lloyds account from £3 to £5. The packaged account provides extra benefits including a Disney plus subscription, cashback rewards, and access to linked savings accounts with preferential interest rates. Skipton Building Society also recently lowered the interest on a total of 92 types of savings accounts. How do I switch bank accounts? SWITCHING bank accounts is a simple process and can usually be done through the Current Account Switch Service (CASS). Dozens of high street banks and building societies are signed up - there's a full list on CASS' website. Under the switching service, swapping banks should take seven working days. You don't have to remember to move direct debits across when moving, as this is done for you. All you have to do is apply for the new account you want, and the new bank will tell your existing one you're moving. There are a few things you can do before switching though, including choosing your switch date and transferring any old bank statements to your new account. You should get in touch with your existing bank for any old statements. When switching current accounts, consider what other perks might come with joining a specific bank or building society. Some banks offer 0% overdrafts up to a certain limit, and others might offer better rates on savings accounts. And some banks offer free travel or mobile phone insurance with their current accounts - but these accounts might come with a monthly fee.
