"Scrutiny of Labour's Policies:"
Labour playing this like a hand of poker at the moment keeping their cards close to their chest on what their policies will be. But once the date of the GE is confirmed then Labour will have to "lay their cards on the table" for all to see. Then we see what the opinion polls say as the election gets closer.
The Labour party faces multiple hurdles ahead of UK General Election.
Be careful, it's not a foregone conclusion.
“Among the key headwinds facing Labour, this analysis identifies three primary areas of concern:
Historical Trend of Losing Support: Labour traditionally faces a decline in support as the election approaches.
Impact of Seat Boundary Changes: The upcoming election will be the first under new constituency boundaries since 2010, which are anticipated to favour the Conservatives.
And this!
Scrutiny of Labour's Policies:
With all the flip flops, as each policy decision doesn't add up they have to drop them.
As the election draws nearer, Labour's policy platform is likely to come under increased examination.
While the winds of change seem to favour Labour, the party's ability to navigate these challenges will be critical in determining whether it can convert its current polling lead into a governing majority.”
Nomlungu, nail on the head there!
Tories have utterly destroyed this country.
Atisha, I get it but why this attitude of leaving your own country? Thats what they want , stay and fight. This great country has been through multiple attempts to destroy it.
It'll take a bit more than a few skinny armed leftists and their medieval mates
Labour will double all of the Big 3. Get out and find a country where they still speak English and have freedom of speech.
Sack all staff that don't want to work and re-hire new staff that do. Eventually the only place left for them will be the public sector and that's already overstaffed.
'Immigration ..NHS......cost of living(inc Taxes).....the big 3 imo '
Not hard to beat the Tories then as they have dismally failed on all 3. A spectacular hat-trick of failures.
Another reason for leaving the decaying EU.
Not sure Starmer ever had the plot.
Mr Nunn earned nearly £90,000 less than the year before because a measure of 'employee engagement' that is used to calculate his bonus fell short at the end of 2023, reflecting workers' unhappiness at being hauled back to the office at least two days a week.

You'd better learn how to swim or you'll sink like a stone, for the times they are a changing,
Chid,
The £2bn buyback was widely expected, maybe not by you, but by most.
Agree TFE, Cuckoo and NuckyT must be kicking themselves for bailing out first thing last Thursday.
And a very well said to ATISHA too.
ImaRight, very well said, sadly the naive and stupid need to wake up, this country is now in deep trouble. Trojan Horse comes to mind.
....as a footnote to my last post..europe in general is changing beyond recognition in parts also...gla
Brixton could be correct...... as we get older (im 67 v soon) we are seeing the country change in parts beyond recognition unfortunately....one of my broyhers has moved abroad now and another one is seriously considering it....i spend about 3 months of the year out of the country and have so far resisted the urge to move abroad.....however my brother is making it look very appealing.......very concerning times....gla &atb

Chavs are the real danger to this country, especially the unineducated ones
The biggest thing I don't like about being in Lloyds is having to read all this cr@p by knuckle scraping, unineducated low-life chavs.
Mis-selling of mortgages next no doubt.
ImaRight
It's too late.
As expected all of the media that have reported on Lloyds Final Results are focusing their headlines on the £450m provision that Lloyds have made for Car Finance, alluding that this is a plea of guilty by Lloyds. And the estimations of the hit Lloyds could take are growing every day. This is just going to snowball over the next 6 months which will be detrimental to Lloyds share price increasing from current level until we know what the outcome of the rigged FCA Investigation. I think the share price will be range bound between 40p - 45p until then.
There is a positive to be taken from this though, it could ensure that the 2024 buyback will be completed with another low average share price and large number of shares bought back for cancelling. The 2022 buyback average price was 44.162p with 4.528 billion shares purchased. The 2023 buyback average price was 45.597p with 4.386 billion shares purchased. So this years buyback may benefit from the uncertainty and negative media reports that will be appearing frequently in the press keeping the lid on the share price. I think we could end up with at least another 4.5 billion shares being bought back for cancelling this year.
