As I keep informing this board, seem to me that the Cons are deliberately going to loose this GE to then allow Labour to foul up the economy even worse than it is, to then call a vote of no confidence in a few short years. They will then ride to the 'rescue' of a battle weary British public, but ONLY on the understanding that we have a NEW DEAL with the EU, very much resembling the 'old deal' so much so, it will likely be the same as being in, but for name only.
The whole world didn't want us out, including the then POTUS, so do you really think it was ever going to be ALLOWED to succeed.
World politics are far more important and lucrative for any of our 'leaders' to please, rather than adhere to just over half of the great British unwashed preference. So, unless their decision 'coincided' with the top peoples choice, which thankfully it didn't, then there was no way it would be allowed to become a success.
One of the main reasons many voted out was due to the high levels of newcomers here, so it, to me, is NOT just 'coincidence' that ever more are allowed to arrive, thus in HMG's eyes, then 'removing' that argument from 'closer' ties to the EU.
As project fear pre the vote failed miserably to influence enough of the British, then their only option was to make as much of it happen as they could, to do, as I suggest, and force us to forge closer ties a few years down the line.
Anything else would have been a blow to democracy, which they have to pretend is fully intact.
So, like asking your child what they want to do, and when it goes against YOUR wishes, then subtly 'steer' them back to what YOU really wanted.
So pleased to see that the Cathsoames, Jayfax thinking on here has mostly been replaced by sensible views re flotsam, a refreshing bit of hope for the UK, despite being 30 years too late.
As for Lloyds, as the share price rises, the div yield falls away too, thus lessening the desire to buy into a rapidly risen share, for less div yield, and less upside in s.p as much has already been missed. So stagnation imo, until Labour crash the economy when 'in'. In truth though only time and fools will tell.
Like I said yesterday...

The former director of public prosecutions for England and Wales has warned against the risk of creating “thought crimes” amid the recent clampdown on protesters and demonisation of demonstrators by politicians.
If these latest polls are anything to go by Sunak is making the electorate even more angry.

CONS are TOAST‼️
With all the morons infesting this Lloyd's BB, I'm at the stage now where ‘fk you,’ ‘fk that’ and ‘fk off’ is the correct answer to almost everything that is posted by the brainless left. The sad thing is if they get elected all these Pratt's will either disappear, die or yet again change their usernames.
A new start tomorrow after all the posts are removed.
All a load of pi55 wind and waffle
On a Share chat site, MadMick is having kittens ...lol
What a wasted of 30 minutes of my life catching up on posts over the last 2 days
IMHO
This weekend must break all records for the amount of s-h-i-t that's been posted on here over the weekend ;-)
And its good night from me ( The Black Beauty's No 1 investor )
''The Parliamentary Ombudsman has told the Government to compensate women for failing to adequately inform them their state pension age was delayed.''
What a load of BALLACKS - from Kenneth Clarkes budget speech in 1993 (yes 31 years ago) -
STATE PENSION AGE - '' Finally,I can announce one further decision which will have little immediate effect, but will make a considerable difference to the affordability of the modern welfare state in the next century. After careful consideration, the Government has decided that the state pension age should eventually be equalised at 65. The change will be phased in over ten years, starting in the year 2010''
Waspi Women - The Ombudsman has recommended those affected should receive £1,000 to £2,950 in compensation??? - could cost hard-working taxpayer £3.5 to £10.5billion - a bit worrying for the incoming Gov.
Meanwhile, during the same period, men born in the 1950's were forced to work till 65+ and will receive nothing!!!
Any way we can claim back money from those who were able to retire at just 60?
https://www.thisismoney.co.uk/money/pensions/article-13222927/Victory-WASPI-women-Ombudsman-compensation-scheme.html
Think the government has got its own ppi and car loan scandal now with the woman's pension?be interesting to see if they payout,like the black horse was made to
Some analyst forecasts project the Lloyds share price to reach as high as 74p within the next 12 months – that 50% jump!

Not sure of the share price morrow but i think the trend is still going to be up. Not sure either the Dow Jones will stop the slow but sure increase over next 2/3/4 weeks. If i'm wrong ? Just my thoughts & a change topic. Just saying.
Poverty reducing?

''The population in the 1940s was around 45million ''
Those indigenous and their descendants probably number about the same today. Shame migrants in such a short timescale have increased the population so much , fuel for the state pension ponzi scheme and fuel for property prices due to population growth always ahead of speed of property development.
Should never have allowed the start of the influx of people after WW2, allowing people to stay permanently - should have been on a work visa basis from the start. They may have resulted today in a much lower population but one in which there was no shortfall in property and thus being affordable to most. Unfortunately the genie cannot be put back in the bottle.
The indigenous will very soon become the minority population.
Btw Mickb - there is no real poverty in the UK today

3 million children in poverty the highest ever!
The ever from when last year, 1950, 1940, 1930, 1920 ?
Are you equating so called poverty today with past poverty?
3 million children from a population of 70 million for get government figures that even thy can not prove and admit it on our population, The population in the 1940s was around 45million an there was real poverty then my parents grew up in it. Children died then through the combined effects of poor diet, poor housing poor health care, do not insult my parents generation you shxt. They started work at 14 yrs of age my grand parents started work at 12 years of age, poor diets out side toilets no hot water no proper baths only a tin bath that they took turns bathing in the same water.
Most poverty to day has been imported . the rise in rickets in the Asian population the return of TB again via immigrants .
Tell me how many houses have out side toilets and no baths or no hot water today, how many starving do you see walking the streets?
My parents and others never saw meat, they lived on muck, offal -pigs trotters, cows lips and lugs, tripe .
And when they dinned on muck Labour and Tory politicians dinned on steak !
During the 1930s Bevan the so called great Welsh Labour minister dined at the Ritz Hotel.
All through rationing of WW2 the wealthy including Churchill never lost a pound in weight neither did the then Queen .
My late father said the first time he had a bed with blanket's and three meals per day was when he was conscripted in 1940.And that would have applied to others parents and grandparents of those whom contribute to this board.
Poverty today =s fast food , Iphones , lap tops and a school run, mothers to fat and lazy to cook and no fathers names on the birth certificate .
Why even Angela Rayner MP, the girl who was pregnant at 16 yrs and got a council house which she bought cheap moans about being poor! but kept her £48000 profit secret for years.
Welcome to the forum LLL!
Regarding your comments,I don't know what to say,so I'll say nothing.
today, uk landlords are funded by 10's of billions in housing benefits paying these embarrassingly extortionate uk rents, again the uk working man is left paying a huge price in housing benefits. families with children left with a choice, to eat or heat in their unaffordable homes. greedy landlords leaving people unable to afford the ridiculous rents. huge mortgages due to the housing bubble created by landlords , who buy up all of the housing stock, turning people's houses into a business model.
banking mistakes following banking mistakes, offering buy to let mortgages to feed all of the greedy pigs with their noses in the trough"
never posted here but..... as a landlord pal, u have a point but i dont give a **** pal. your choosing...... pay my rent or p1ss off and go n live in the streets.............
people dont have to live in any of my houses. theres plenty of cardboard boxes.......
STP.
You have generated the courage to link Tories and Brexit !
As I have previously pointed out to you and you did change the wording in later posts, Brexit was delivered by Labour
voters.
But you are true to form a socialist with international stock investments ! so what part of lots of money turns you on?
Tories ---> Brexiteers---> Reform UK
Blind leading the blind!

"Latest poverty stats from the DWP are horrendous4.3 million children in relative poverty - the highest ever "
