UK jobless rate falls to lowest since mid-70s

Income squeeze continues to ease

Ben Brettell, senior economist, Hargreaves Lansdown said; "Just how low can [unemployment} go?

"The UK labour market has been remarkably resilient in the face of Brexit-related uncertainty. These are really strong numbers given the headwinds the economy is currently facing."

And of course Newchuch is a village on IofW -
An insight re current manifestation of Pillarts Mick-b?

She'll be loving all this interest lol

Relentless buybacks circa 60p - hoover um up - every share bought back enriches the value of my holding :-)

Oops - your bitterness is showing again James - sad little man

Goddamnit Trojan - there's always summit happening lol

Brexit is Brexit Jl5006

I think the market is down on Brexit fears Sky

And she's back lol

Pillarts - Don't forget she was/is a major long term share holder who year on year chose/chooses to take more shares (via the DRIP scheme) instead of the cash divi
She was also the reason I started my fantasy portfolio - monitoring the performance of her other large holding (BP.) v Lloy

Remember my slogan - 'Don't do as WL says - Do as WL does'

Relentless buybacks sub 60p - hoover um up - every share bought back enriches the value of my holding :-)

To true BB - These arrogant self serving politicians need to be reminded who their boss is - who employs them - who pays their high wages & inflated expenses - if they can't follow a simple instruction they need to be replace with someone who can !!!

Be clear on who to blame for the delay -
Under instruction from Corbyn virtually every Labour MP has voted to frustrating Brexit
See how your MP and Party voted here -

I started this fantasy portfolio in 2016 to challenge various posters perception that Lloy is 'the worst share ever' or a 'dire share', on the 8th Oct 2016 I invited WL/Newchurch to choose an alternative ftse 100 company so I could run a comparison

On 8th Oct 2016 - 1000 quid bought 206 BP. shares & 1905 Lloy shares
Today's value
BP. 206 @ 524 = 1097
Lloy 1905 @ 61.1 = 1164

In April 2017 Invest4life suggested I add Glencore -
On 22-4-17 - 1000 quid bought 335 Glen shares & 1553 Lloy shares
Today's value
Glen 335 @ 281 = 941
Lloy 1553 @ 61.1 = 949

In July 2017 Nucky suggested I add RBS -
On 12-7-17 1000 quid bought 384 RBS & 1512 Lloy
Today's value
RBS 384 @ 233 = 895
Lloy 1512 @ 61.1 = 924

In July 2017 Utrickytrees asked that I add BARC -
On 30-7-17 1000 quid bought 479 Barc & 1504 Lloy
Today's value
Barc 479 @ 158 = 757
Lloy 1504 @ 61,1 = 919

In Sept 2018 Motley Fool recommended Diageo over Lloyds
On 9-9-18 1000 quid bought 37.3 DGE & 1704 Lloy
DGE 37.3 @ 3246 = £1211
Lloy 1704 @ 61.1 = £1041

This weeks observation - on going Brexit uncertainty and 'sell in May' weigh on banks and the market as a whole,

Overall conclusion -
A very basic comparison that does no include divi yield, IMO those still suggesting Lloy is 'the worst share ever' or a 'dire share' seriously need to examine their concept of investing.
