"And look what we have got in Westmonster , a corrupt government of monumental proportions."

At least your beloved SNP have eclipsed them on that front! PMSL! Them that live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones.

You won't find something if you don't want to and are looking the other way the whole time.

Gordon Brown was keen for Lloyds to take over HBOS so the Government would not have to bail out HBOS. The dire situation that HBOS was in at that time was not fully apparent. After the takeover it was realised how bad the financial situation was for HBOS, which then resulted in Lloyds being bailed out by the Government.

Lloyds were stitched up by Gordon Brown with the the takeover of HBOS, not RBS. And it was the takeover of HBOS which got Lloyds into difficulties.

Agree with you there stagecoach. The 1922 committee stitched up Penny Mordaunt to ensure she did not go through to the Party Members ballot because she is not one of the Old Etonian/Oxbridge elite.

At least Humza Useless managed to dress in the national dress for a scot at the coronation of King Charles and wore a kilt. Pity he could not have done that on the day he was sworn in as Scottish First Minister.

"Total voting rights 31 Dec 2008 = 5.972b shares..."
Lloyds had a rights issue in December 2009 which added around another 36 billion shares.

They probably refused your mortgage application because you coped the same s-hit attitude at your mortgage interview as you do on this board with your posts.

I see we have two broker downgrades today.
Credit Suisse cuts Lloyds Banking price target to 69 (70) pence - 'outperform'
JPMorgan cuts Lloyds Banking price target to 56 (61) pence - 'neutral'

And interest rate rises are good for banks? So if BoE raise rates next week which is good for banks the SP will fall again.

ECB hikes rates 25 bpts

The measured progress which has opened the bank’s new year may not have shot the lights out, but represents a positive direction of travel, which in turn will likely result in the market consensus of the shares as a 'buy' remaining in place.
