Had 2 scam e mails from m&s this morning...pretty convincing at first...apologies if no.one interested..gla

Very pleased for the threshold pensioners who are now going to recieve the £200......however it caused unecessary anxiety to a lot of elderly people....a ridiculous decision pegged at the original level.......punishing pensioners and then paying £100-140 a day !!! to house a adult male illegal immigrant in a hotel was not only stupid it was cruel as well....and we stand for it ...everyday ......the lower rate tax band needs to be raised imo...£12570 fkg farcical....gla .

Child..ive always been an avid "dip" buyer as documented/posted on here many times.... also many investors including myself were spoilt with sp levels caused by the pandemic, Russia Ukraine etc...anyways off to golf been raised to a 25 handicap now which I'm enjoying immensely lol...gl &atb.

When you have managed to buy many stocks much lower than todays levels shares look expensive atm...to me anyway ...im very possibly wrong ..i have been many times .....current conundrum sitting on plenty of dividend money and cannot decide on re investment levels ...probably my age 68 now and definitely lost my edge....when unsure do nothing is my current policy....gla

Interested in the UK employment data tue.....Re the spending review Wed allegedly theres plenty of infighting happening ( there normally is tbf) "Rachel Reeves is facing a major crisis, as conflicts within the cabinet threaten to block her spending plans."

With just 48 hours before she is due to unveil the spending review, the chancellor is locked in a stalemate with Yvette Cooper and Angela Rayner over proposed cuts to housing and police force budgets.

As the government enters the final two days before Ms Reeves presents her plans to parliament on Wednesday, The Independent understands that both the Home Office and the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government have yet to reach an agreement with the Treasury............

Someone told me this today...

"The Home Office has confirmed that they do not know the whereabouts of over 17,000 asylum seekers whose claims have been discontinued. This figure includes asylum seekers who failed to respond to two consecutive case worker interview requests or questionnaires. Additionally, the Home Office has admitted to losing track of 5,600 more asylum claimants"......this is all i could find ....is this true...if so ..wtf is going on......interested to if this is true or false...gla.

I cannot wait till sept to go abroad for roughly 6 months .....im 68 and ive never known people more p*ssed off and unhappy like they are in this great country....it is divided... our own poorer people living in mould infested social housing while adult men who make their way here from all over the place get hotel accommodation ..see a doctor etc etc ..sick of saying it tbh...no ones listening......i feel its too late now the country has changed forever...i wonder what its going to be like for my grandchildren...thats my biggest worry/fear.....gla.

Tesla shares rise 4.8% premarket as a call arranged by the white house between Trump and Musk.....damage limitation by Trump ...Musk knows too much....if this was russia Musk would of fell off a balcony by now......seriously the single most powerful man in the world and the richest man in the world bickering on social media like a couple of school kids on face book totally embarrasing.......i am still pro trump "just"but he is not looking very statesman like atm...gla

Just pmsl...I wondered when the epstein name would be mentioned....be hard for Musk to put that back in the bottle...feel for tesla shareholders atm...gla.

Gone on tour with STP as a double act dubbed ..the new "Hinge and Bracket"...allegedly......gla.

1x £50

1x£25...wd winners gla

Actual £ 1.58B Forecast £1.1B......Mainly credit card,loans & overdrafts....people ramping up debt (Again)to fund their current lifestyle...i go away a fair bit and all the airports are rammed i wonder how many of these holidays are funded by debt ?....good for the lenders LLoyds etc...as long as they get paid !.....gla.

Dont know whether to laugh or cry re the ongoing US tariff drama....NVIDIA results where good.......the largest conundrum for me atm is reinvestment levels with dividend income....LLoyds very much included ..still sitting on recent dividend payment and finding the markets difficult atm..anyone else feel the same ?......gla

Thanks HU....gl

Will be watching later at the FOMC minutes content/reaction.....also interested in the NVIDIA results later......been raised to a 25 handicap now ..so may start betting now again when playing...lol....gla

The Tariff rollercoaster set to continue.....plus US durable goods , a lot of eyes on the FOMC minutes Wed...& the 2nd QoQ US GDP...Sitting on quite a lot of dividend monies and very difficult imo on re investments levels in the current market....have a good weekend all.

Iv'e been really annoyed about this for a while....what about our thousands of UK people/families/ children living in squalid temporary accomodation....where are they to go..its a f..kg disgrace....ps i see that scum Egyptian national Ahmed Ramadan Mohamad Ebid that was jailed for 25 years yesterday was having he's accomodation/housing paid for by the taxpayer...he was also another illegal entrant into th UK taking the p iss out of us and we are standing for it....ps how much to keep in jail for years ...enough is enough now...

I see UK inflation came in higher than expected...not sure what Bailey and the MPC are going to do 19th june ..plenty of commentators seeing a further 75bp in cuts in this calender year...the jury's out on that imo.....gla

Still hold plenty gla..

Still hold plenty..haven't received divi yet but very early...gla
