VOD have lumbered themselves with significant debt.

Yes they have invested in the network, However

Next comes 5g investment AND

a continuous need to bid for spectrum etc, requiring huge CAPEX.

Where is the longer term value creation?? - because I don't see it.

Please DYOR- as always, just my view only.

This is something not widely appreciated - following the last GE,
there are approx 20,000 votes between the 30 most maginal seats.

That's right, only 20,000 votes separate 30 parliamentary seats.

For Labour to end up as the largest party, would take very few votes.

This is starting to look concerning.

Leaving without a deal significantly increases a UK recession outcome.

How long then before the electorate turn against the Tory party, guess who is waiting
to take power..

It's unfortunately a scenario which can no longer be ignored.

Although there is no majority in the HoC for a no deal,
it looks increasingly likely Labour will use this to bring down the government,
attempt to force another GE, and will not support any Tory led deal.

In terms of Lloyds, I would look towards the low 50's post referendum share price-
very much a case of imv Only, and I hope this scenario does not play out.

Chancer, we all have our individual views,
the post was just to put May's position in some context.

And also to highlight what I see as a very significant 'risk' of Labour
grabbing power, which continues to be underestimated.

Made a similar point frequently-

May went to the country asking for an increased majority,
not alone did the electorate Not do this, they swiftly Removed the Tory majority completely

Everything changed following the last GE. Fair enough if people see it differently,
that's the reality.

As for why Labour increased their number of seats, there were multiple reasons.

The 'threat' from Labour is still hugely underestimated. The Tory party may yet hand him
the keys of power, which would be the deepest irony of Brexit.

I posted earlier - Labour's path to power.

Is becoming clearer.

Labour will not vote for May's deal, enough Tory MP's will also vote
against to defeat the government.

The UK then faces no transition and no deal (although I would hope something could be agreed
even at this stage).

A subsequent major recession turns the electorate against the Tory party.

Then the country belongs to Corbyn and McDonnell.

I realisemany will think this can not happen, the last UK GE and Trump has clearly shown,
anything Can happen. Do not rule this out.

That is why domestic cyclicals are being shunned.

Asp, thanks.

I don't think the longer term chart(at least the one I'm looking at)
takes account of any corporate actions.

I mentioned looking at a 20 plus year Lloy share chart on Google recently.

Could any one just very roughly estimate what £1 invested in Lloyds TSB in 1998,
would be worth today, not accounting for either dividends or inflation.
A very approx answer would more than suffice. Many thanks.

I'm asking as unsure if the data I'm looking at is correct.

The EU will not collapse.

The UK have helped solidify the EU,
and our experience so far has served as a big warning to other member states.
It's one of the ironies of Brexit.

Very welcome numbers.

I found yesterday's political developments incredibly depressing.

Just hoping the Tory party avoid tearing themselves apart at the seams,
and self-preservation kicks in.

What a great day for Labour.

2 years on and we are in this sorry state. Incredibly depressing day.

Lti, we know that. We get Brexit.

Of far more interest is what form it takes re a trade deal with the EU.

TFE, I personally think it's very sad to see the UK reduced to this,
it's such a mess.

It's a statement of what I think, I'm more than aware we are leaving.

However, we will not be outside the EU for long,.

Your assumption appears to be that's it, over, done.

That will not be the case. There will be a clear majority for rejoining by 2020.
Demographic tide strongly in favour of rejoining.

There appears an assumption those in favour of Remain have uncritical
support for the EU, that's definitely not the case for me.

However, and avoiding a long and winding post,
we are still better in than out. And developments since the vote
make that case more powerfully than I could.

Lloyds is inextricablely linked to the UK economy.
That's the simple answer.

The economy has slowed markedly already and medium term
UK recession risks look to be rising imv. Others will see it differently.

Heaven help us.

I told Dominic what I thought of him in Cobham High Street last year, his face!.

Made up?, The quotes are all there to look at,
including DD telling us how easy this would be.

Leave won, now DELIVER.

As Thatcher found out with the Counci Tax(Poll Tax) - the electorate did not
hold local authorities to account, they blamed HMG instead.

With Brexit, it's HMG that is accountable to the electorate, not the EU.
And it's HMG that will be held to account.
Every day another 1,000 plus Leavers dead.

For Leavers in demographic terms.

Over a 1,000 a day dying off, replaced by Remain supporters turning 18.
