As wrote on here last week i couldn't understand the logic of the last rate cut by the BofE MPC....i feel Bailey is already marking cards as to the real possibility of rates not being cut as fast as was expected....like Reeves the Bofe IS backing itself into corner imo.....too hot for golf today so i will go down the pub garden have a drink and talk sh*t all day lol.......gla ...

Gun....don't think we can talk about the upcoming week without mentioning the upcoming Trump,Putin (Zelensky?maybe ) meeting........the possible outcome in different forms/scenarios going to be interesting....gl

OM.. someone talked to me last night about whats going on with this share...read up a bit this morning ...then had a look in here and saw a thread titled "cannot buy" ..so i thought i would test the water with my HL account ..thats all nothing sinister.....gl though

Just been offered 500k @5.234.HL...as i said not interested at this level... JS i would suggest changing broker.....gl though

Not seeing that easily offererd 250k on HL@5.239.....however not interested at this level..

Cannot understand the logic in the cut today...gla

Atm would add at 60p or sell some @ 90p...been patient at different levels before ...Happy with the reasonable dividend being paid...just as interested in what Reeves is doing/planning with the economy and some possible serious destabilising geo political situations as the car finance outcome....gla

GB News has overtaken the BBC as Britain's most watched news channel for the first time.

New figures from official ratings agency Barb show GB News beat both BBC News and Sky News during key time slots in July, in a major coup for the start-up broadcaster just after its fourth birthday.

The latest data show GB News pulled in an average audience of 80,600 across each day in July. That was ahead of BBC News on 78,700 and 67,000 for Sky....Telegraph......its the way it's going....gla.

1 x £50..... = £10 each for the grandchildren..gla have a good weekend

I suppose the next consideration unfortunately will be if Reeves looks to the banks for a windfall tax...or something similar....time will tell....gla have a good weekend.

Trump:" Based on the highly provocative statements of the Former President of Russia, Dmitry Medvedev, who is now the Deputy Chairman of the Security Council of the Russian Federation, I have ordered two Nuclear Submarines to be positioned in the appropriate regions, just in case these foolish and inflammatory statements are more than just that. Words are very important, and can often lead to unintended consequences, I hope this will not be one of those instances. Thank you for your attention to this matter! "

The July jobs report showed nonfarm payrolls expanded by 73,000 last month, well beneath the consensus estimate from economists polled by Dow Jones that called for a 100,000 increase to payrolls. Prior months were significantly revised down. June job growth totaled just 14,000, down from 147,000. The May count came down to 19,000 from 125,000, signaling the labor market has been weakening for a while now.

Bank stocks were sharply lower on fears that a slowing economy could hit loan growth. Shares of JPMorgan Chase

pulled back about 4%, while Bank of America

and Wells Fargo

fell more than 3% each.

.....All the f..king dingies turning up full of illegals.....another 14 full up arrived in the last 5 days !.........See the trouble is Starmer likes to think of himself as some kind of global statesman....BUT he prefers to swerve the sh*t going on in hes own backyard......possibly the worst govt ive witnessed.....gla ..we need it.

" It feels like everybody wants lower interest rates: President Donald Trump, the Treasury secretary, and even members of the Federal Open Market Committee. But with inflation above target (and potentially moving in the wrong direction, thanks to tariffs) and the economy cooling but still solid, analysts say central bankers still have time to wait. The Federal Reserve is widely expected to hold rates steady for a fifth consecutive meeting."................Stand by for a Trump rant......

The larger fear in the financial markets re banks ,lenders etc etc is not just centered around the car finance....the bigger issue regards the ruling is how it will affect other financial products and commisions already paid....will mortgages & other loans etc be looked at ......i feel thats reeves biggest fear....the claims firms are relentlesss and will possibly be looking at all financial products and commision......gla

Pretty impressive...gla.
