Is the penny starting to finally drop with you DCB, that the Fool posts contradicting articles ? I told you that a while back. I guess you had to find out for yourself 🙄

Yes there were only a few of us defending buybacks a few years back but those decrying them seem to have fled the scene here now. They’ve been an excellent use of surplus capital. Here’s hoping we return to another £2bn announcement at the next set of results.

“HOUSEHOLD spending fell at its fastest pace since the pandemic last month, as families cut back amid growing fears over the economy.

Spending on credit and debit cards fell 1.1pc compared with November of last year, according to data from Barclays, the steepest annual drop since February 2021, when the country was still battling strict Covid restrictions.

The fall comes despite weeks of ­discount offers in the run-up to Christmas, particularly those relating to “Black Friday” late last month.

Data show that spending on groceries fell 2.8pc in November, indicating that households are watering down their weekly shop to combat higher food inflation, which recently hit 5pc.

As part of its latest monthly survey of consumer confidence, Barclays warned that perceptions of job security and faith in the economy had both fallen since the summer, which affected “non-essential spending” as a result. The British Retail Consortium also reported sales growth of just 1.4pc in November, the weakest annual rate since May. Separate figures from Indeed also found that UK job postings are down 20pc compared to pre-pandemic.

It comes after the Chancellor launched a £26bn tax raid during her Budget.“

Good work hardup again 👍

The long wait to the next results day for the next buyback announcement. Let’s hope the share price can hold up in the interim.

What a good choice of bank by Reform. No doubt it will shudder a few on here to the core. 14% polling for Labour now. What a meltdown.

… in ? Pray tell us

No it’s not about Lloyds DCB. Have you broken your own rules ? What will Ireland and Spain be chipping

Another £2bn hopefully with Rachel leaving the banks alone unlike everyone else. Of course it won’t affect DCB because he’s not British nor does he live in the UK 🤣 He just likes to think he is.

Great average purchase at 19p below the current share price. Another successful buyback programme which has helped the share price. Thanks hardup as ever 👍

Another 25m shares being issued next week in a block listing. All bodes well at present.

DCB,

What does Brexit have to do with you ? You’re an Irishman living in Spain.

They’ve got no chance of building 1 1/2m homes in this Parliament. They’re already miles behind. Just another lie fed to the gullible to get elected.

It ends when the pot of money set aside for the buyback runs out. This year it was £1.7bn. The next buyback will be announced with the full year results.

Do you two (one) use the same device to post with different windows open or two different devices at once when talking to yourself ?

Troublesome

“I could only manage a labourers job in the steelworks instead of going down the pits.”

That I can believe. And now been on benefits for 30 years. Says it all as to your political persuasion.

3 x £25 = £75

Back again are we ?

I’ve quoted what you said on Nov 6th. Copied and pasted. Just admit you’re wrong and move on.

You must be mentally deficient if you can’t understand what you’ve written when it’s in front of you and you’ve been quoted. Either that or you’re incapable of admitting you’re wrong and apologising like an adult. Off you trot.

Yes and you then tried to say “some” which wasn’t what you said was it ? I’ve quoted your post. Stop wriggling and admit you’re banged to rights.

Yes I appear to share similar views to troublesome,”.

You didn’t say some at all. Shot yourself in the foot there haven’t you ? You ought to check your own posts first before posting untruths.
