Does that mean you’re a Lloyds shareholder again Cuckoo ?

One day you are, the next you’re not. It’s almost as if you make it up as you go along based upon which way the share price is moving.

The way you continually slate Lloyds, I’m surprised you are a shareholder again to be honest. Maybe it’s just that this is a larger BB for you to air your Communist nonsense.

Yup, pathetic Labour scare stories.

The Americans want to sell us their equipment and drugs and compete with what we get from Europe. Seems eminently sensible to me.

McDonnell and Long-Bailey were laughable this morning. Their plan to insulate 27m hones in this country and cover them in Solar panels is just pie in the sky nonsense. What’s more dangerous is how much they were going to borrow to pay for it. More tax and spend craziness that would wreck the economy.

Maybe admin are just draining the swamp of trolls DCB perhaps ?

WanderlyWagon/DCB,

Have they terminated the budgie already ?

Another alter ego ? You really don’t get tired of this do you ?

Snige,

We all know it wouldn’t just be public utilities if Corbyn and McDonnell got the reins. The utilities would be a mere aperitif. Corbyn and his communists may have taken you in Snige and you obviously have most to benefit from the socialists getting to spend the pound in others pockets but hopefully sense will prevail in the General Election.

Wids - Lloyds wouldn’t have any money for buybacks if Corbyn and those loonies got the keys to number 10

If Labour win this election, it will not be a win for the markets Pat.

Well if you’re not voting for the looney left, then you’ve just redeemed yourself slightly in my eyes. The Liberal Undemocratic Party for you eh ? Sounds like you can’t get over the referendum result then. Must have been a very unhappy last 3 years for you. Does it eat you up the whole time ? I’m trying to understand......

Pat,

I respect those who voted remain and accept the result. Most of my family voted remain but all just want Brexit completed now. I’m not concerned about your Remain aspirations. I’m more concerned that people like you have no real idea what Corbyn and McDonnell would do to this country. No offence, but you are either very naive or haven’t achieved much thus far and wish to share the spoils of those who have worked hard and saved hard and don’t rely on the state for an existence.

Not sure what hand grenade that was that you left for me. Did you address me in the post ?

Yes, I agree that the markets do not want no deal. Whether their fear is well founded or not is a different matter. They tend to dislike uncertainty.

If you believe Lloyds and the UK stock market would not be adversely affected by a Corbyn government, you’ve obviously not had your medications this morning. Labour will go after bank profits without a shadow of doubt.

Corbyn doesn’t even know if he’s a remainer or a leaver !! What a great policy he has. Go back to the EU for a new deal then campaign against it in a new referendum ?

Corbyn sure has done a job brainwashing you Pat sadly.

The reason the UK market hasn’t tanked is because the financial institutions don’t think the electorate are stupid enough to elect Corbyn. I hope they’re right.

A readers letter to a Sunday broadsheet.......Anyone who is tempted by the Corbyn-McDonnell Marxist-Leninist utopian dream should go to Potsdam.
There they should walk along the western shore of lake Glienicke (of Bridge of Spies fame) and marvel at the villas that were occupied by the commissars and apparatchiks of the Communist regime while the “many” lived in squalid penury in hideous apartment blocks.

I guess Pat and Holly can join the esteemed company of Cuckoo and Snige in investing in shares whilst voting for Armageddon in the financial markets by voting for Corbyn and his Communists.

Talk about turkeys voting for Christmas......

Labour are advocating a lifetime inheritance tax allowance of £125k with anything above being taxed at 45%.

Unbelievable. The money of course will go on the feckless, the lazy and those who have saved nothing in their lives.

Anyone voting for Corbyn needs a brain transplant.

Couldn’t disagree with you Richard. They have been awful at accurately forecasting provision. It really does become wearisome. Fingers crossed this is it for good now.

I do get suspicious when they managed to still announce a small profit (£50m for the quarter) as if it was essential to not record a loss so as to not knock confidence.

Still think this a good cash cow stock and has a good future ahead.

I guess Richard that they’ve just been flooded. Lloyds seems to be more sympathetic than most lenders at paying out from what I can gather.

Let’s hope they have fully provided or over provided this time and a load of these late claims they are taking their time to dismiss as bogus.

Cuckoo

“ Doris has been caught red handed trying to sell out the NHS”

And your proof of that is what exactly ?

Hilarious watching your hero Corbyn making promises to all again yesterday without saying where the money is coming from to pay for it.

Maybe he’ll find some of it by stealing Lloyds profits now PPI is finished. That should ensure Snige gets his 20p share price.......

I’ll be expecting the final dividend as usual in May.......

The 3 quarterly payments are interim. The final will stay as it is.

Think we posted at the same time but that should explain. Yes a slightly enhanced final dividend on 2.14p would be my bet as a final div.

“ The new approach will be to adopt three equal interim ordinary dividend payments for the first three quarters of the year followed by, subject to performance, a larger final dividend for the fourth quarter of the year. The first three quarterly payments, payable in June, September and December will be 20 per cent of the previous year’s total ordinary dividend per share. The fourth quarter payment will be announced with the full year results, with the amount continuing to deliver a full year dividend payment that reflects the Group’s financial performance and our objective of a progressive and sustainable ordinary dividend. The final dividend will continue to be paid in May, following approval at the AGM. “
