Italy has problems of its own and I doubt the new government will put up with bullying from Brussels a la Greece style. We shall see what happens......

I'd get a coin out TCM.

If any of us knew what's going to happen to Lloyds share price and the economy, we wouldn't be on here arguing with one another lol

Yup another 700m shares approximately to come off the register still......

Yup,

We are not rejoining the EU. Even Starmer has said so. Italy will probably be next to leave the sinking ship.

Do you honestly think after 20 days, that Tory back benchers are going to try and bring down Truss's government after we've just had an elongated leadership contest ?

I wonder how long it will be till an In/Out EU referendum is announced.......

Nice to see you coming to that conclusion in only 20 days of her stewardship. Excuse me for being sceptical but you sound like you have one big axe to grind.

Livestock,

You can't have it both ways. One minute you're applauding the rate hikes for making Lloyds the place to be invested and the next minute you're calling Truss's governments "clowns" for implementing policies that need rate hikes. Which is it ?

Wrong thread TFE……lol

FTSE100 is only actually 6 1/2% down this year.
DOWJIA is down 18 1/2% this year

Not another SNP Remoaner surely……..

“Scottish fund managers and bankers from New York are set to move to England in droves as Liz Truss’s mini-Budget makes London a more attractive place to do business.

The end of the European Union-era bonus cap means the UK is more competitive again on the global stage, while England’s top rate of income tax is coming down from 45pc to 40pc, well below Scotland’s 46pc.

Finance sources said the change of tone from Kwasi Kwarteng, the Chancellor, signals Britain is becoming a more open market again after years of acrimony between Westminster and the City in the wake of the financial crisis and Brexit.”

The chuckle brothers won’t be happy…….

“ Anyone asking why the UK is a laughing stock throughout the world”

That may well be your opinion but not one shared by most I wouldn’t think. Last Monday’s funeral watched by billions throughout the world is testament to that. You could always move to the EU if you think this country is a joke.

Daft,

Have you ever thought of working in euthanasia ?

Chuckleberry,

Scotland would be a basket case in the EU. It probably wouldn't want you for that reason alone.

"miserable little lives in Little Engerland "

Says the little Scotlander. You're a pathetic joke Mach. At least you do provide entertainment on this board.

Mach,

You you complain that taxation is the highest for 50 years and you complain when it's reduced today. I bet you were happy to take furlough money weren't you as well ? You're really are a confused soul evidenced by your claim that the UK got most of its gas from Russia. Still you have an excuse for being confused, you vote for Nicola Sturgeon and her bunch of SNP ******s.

I'd herd them all up into a big field and let them get on with it. Current projections are that there will be a majority of Muslims in this country by 2050. I will have left the world by then with any luck.

I looked at a 5 year chart Guitar so it's fair to say that sterling is not weakening against the euro of late. As you say, the US dollar is hammering all world currencies at present.

I liked the statement today TFE. Let lower taxes and growth drive the economy out of a potentially long recession. Sunak's policies would have been tantamount to squeezing the last pips out of households and businesses resulting in house repossessions etc. Time will tell if Truss's policies work but I like them......

And as for the pound Snige as I know you're a staunch remainer. The pound today is stronger against the Euro than it was 5 years ago. Every currency is struggling against the US dollar at the moment.

Snige,

Britain has close trading partners already and is pursuing closer ties with others. You'd have had Corbyn in if you got your way at the last election, appeasing Russia and taxing companies and talent out of this country.
