“ Labour will increase taxes even further. Of that there is no doubt.”
So will the CONS - we are broke.
I watched the Mogg video, in my opinion as a long time Conservative voter, he was talking tripe and his own book. Of course he wants inheritance tax gone, since he's worth well over £100 million. Instead of scrapping inheritance tax completely, they should increase the threshold to £1 million per person, so £2 Million for a married couple; Anything above that should be exempt from tax only if invested in selective UK companies, or infrastructure projects. I've got nothing against people growing their wealth and leaving it to their kids, but much of that wealth should either be taxed or pushed into investing into the country they call home. If I inherited £1 Billion, Id' rather invest it than pay tax.
Home Secretary warns 780 million eligible to claim asylum in the UK. And your worried about tax LOL
Guitar solo,
“ The Tories have set the highest taxes in 70 years.”
Most of it due to Covid which countries all over the world have had to deal with too.
Labour will increase taxes even further. Of that there is no doubt.
Mick,
How much money had Tony Bliar made since he left office ?
Musicman: "make no mistake a lab gov will cost people a of money and a lot of person choice / freedomS gone out the window"
But the actual truth: The Tories have set the highest taxes in 70 years. The Tories have removed more of your rights, including the right to protest, than any other government in living memory.
Whoever you want to vote for is your choice. But don't peddle mistruths.
I have been saying for a long time that this tax is outrageous.

“Boris buys a house”
Good for Boris for not renting.
“Boris got Brexit done”
Great, he deserves to own a big house.
Boris got stabbed in the back by the establishment, for eating a piece of cake and at least attempting to control Uk borders.
Meanwhile, Blair gets lorded and knighted by the establishment, for his illegal war and his opening Uk borders to countless immigrants, many of whom bring more crime to the Uk.
God bless Boris! Good luck to him!
Whatever we paid him it was worth every penny and some.
He alone probably done more to get brexit done and p I s s off the likes of you mick, get over it and change the record.
Btw, I expect he wrote them a cheque 😂

''Boris Johnson paid £3.8m for 9-bed house in CASH''
if so, and?
it would just go to show how much people are willing to pay to be at one of his speeches.
Good for him.
''MUGS all of us''
you can leave me out of that

1/5 Labour
5/1 CONservatives
200/1 Lib Dem

You can lay 1.21 about Labour for good money; excellent arbitrage opportunity if support for the CONservatives is going to increase. Betfair allows you to create a round book and withdraw profits when in profit. A traders' paradise if you are correct as the house's margin is incredibly low and the market is a decent size.
Boris Johnson paid £3.8m for 9-bed house in CASH
While we pay his £245,000 lawyers fees to defend his lying to Parliament with the Privileges Committee
Nobody knows who signed off the payment to lawyers!!
MUGS all of us ......

come on LLOY
Let’s hope so skier. The thought of a Labour government or a LIB/LAB one send shivers down one’s spine……
Rishi today has gained 8% in the latest UK election polls, in just 10 days, a huge leap.
Betting volume has also swung away from Starmer this week. Most bets now going on Rishi.
The 2024 race is going to go right to the wire.
Research the meaning of Compound interest. Lloyds share price is proportionately just sport for many. Plus chat board banter.
Hardup music please !
Amusing to see the rampers here acting like headless chickens, desperately posting any old shyte and slanderous nonsense here to stop it inevitably sinking lower.
As if these hard ons here can manipulate the SP!
Nyuk, nyuk, nyuk ☺️🍿
I think I can safely say Carltt is the most unpopular poster I can remember on the Lloyds BB. The only one recommending his posts is himself. Speak volumes about the mental illness he must be enduring.
The FTSE 100 fell on Monday as fears around China hit the natural resources sector and sapped confidence from London’s Bluechip index.
We wrote last week that confirmation of the Bank of England’s and Federal Reserve’s decisions to keep interest steady at the current level would swiftly see attention shift back to global growth.
And that it did on Monday. Concerns about China swept over markets sending the FTSE 100 0.9% lower in early trade.
China has shown some signs of positivity in recent weeks after consumer prices surprised to the upside and returned to inflation, while manufacturing data came in slightly better.
However, any hopes China was on a better footing were dashed over the weekend by more bad news from the Chinese property sector.
“China is set to go down in history as being 2023’s biggest disappointment for investors. Having started the year in everyone’s good books amid expectations of a big economic rebound, the Asian superpower has failed to deliver. Economic growth has become a struggle compared to the levels it generated a decade ago and government stimulus initiatives have lacked bite,” said Russ Mould, investment director at AJ Bell.
“The property sector has been at the centre of the country’s troubles and it’s going from bad to worse. Evergrande is back centre stage after saying it was struggling with its debt restructuring plan following poorer-than-expected sales, causing its shares to dive and taking the Hang Seng index down for the ride. The index’s real estate sector fell by 2.5% on the day, with Evergrande’s shares down by a quarter at one point.
“The property sector is very important to China’s economy and therefore associated problems will weigh on the stock market. Investors are losing faith in China and this situation is only going to make matters worse for the markets.
“Anything bad in China typically has a negative knock-on effect to UK-listed diversified mining stocks, explaining why Rio Tinto and Anglo American were among the top fallers on the FTSE 100.”
Sentiment was hit across Europe and major indices were trading deep in the red on Monday. The German DAX was down 0.76% while the French CAC gave up 0.67%.
FTSE 100 gainers were few and far between. The top riser was CRH who announced the shift of their primary listing to the NYSE.
Entain was the FTSE 100’s biggest casualty with a drop of 11% after the gambling group said adverse sporting results hit margins during September and they saw slower growth in Australia and Italy.

Lloyds Banking Group PLC (LSE:LLOY), and the UK banking sector were in the spotlight following a report in the Financial Times, that the Bank of England plans to push the implementation date for the final Basel 3 rules back by six months to July 2025.
This is said to be due to the high volume of responses the BoE has received from its initial consultation document, which meant the previously planned implementation date of January 2025 would be difficult to achieve.
Delaying the implementation date by six months would bring it into line with the proposed timeframe set by the US but would be six months later than planned by the EU.
Shore Capital analyst Gary Greenwood notes the implementation of Basel 3.1 in the UK has been plagued with delays, having originally been planned for implementation in January 2021.
He thinks UK banks need clarity sooner rather than later so they can plan accordingly.
"Knowing what their future capital requirements will be is clearly important when it comes to determining pricing strategies and potential shareholder distributions," he added

They all laughed at Christopher Columbus
When he said the world was round
They all laughed when Edison recorded sound
They all laughed at Wilbur and his brother
When they said that man could fly
They told Marconi
Wireless was a phony
It's the same old cry
They laughed at me wanting you
Said I was reaching for the moon
But oh, you came through
Now they'll have to change their tune
They all said we never could be happy
They laughed at us and how!
But ho, ho, ho!
Who's got the last laugh now?
I often laugh when people ridicule me, for being correct. ☺️🍿
