You will be liable for CGT if your profit is over the personal allowance and not in an ISA or SIPP.

Scruffyann, we are still waiting for the Supreme Court to make their judgement which is expected to be in July sometime . No doubt Martin Lewis and the ambulance chasing law firms will be winding up the rhetoric in the media as we get closer to July.

STP is British today

"It is compromising our sovereignity, as a nation. Next thing, we'll be dishing out free passes in Dover, to come and live in the UK! Where will it end?"

Funny that because STP was Irish on 23rd March

"Trump, you want a trade war? Kiss my Irish a55!"

Jcb208......no doubt about it, that is Falky!

Or as Falky would say, bless his cotton socks, "It will go up or down - wait and see - IMHO DYOR"

And then afterwards he would say "as predicted" declaring himself as an investment guru.

It can go either way...... just have to wait and see what she says and how the market reacts.

Rachel Reeves announces her spending review today at lunchtime which will no doubt influence markets today. Watch this space.

Close Brothers up nearly 10% now? Short sellers rushing to close their positions?

Lloyds down on an up day for the market, but so are the other high street banks Barclays, Natwest and HSBC?

Well Close Brothers are flying today, currently up 6.5%. Have not seen anything in Financial news which would explain this?

"I don's see the excitement in receiving £200 when energy prices are still double what they should be costing the average homeowner £900 extra."

To those that need it an extra £200 if of great benefit, at least it will reduce their bills if not pay them in full.

Seany......yes, we will know when the SP suddenly drops or rises by 10% or more!

Seany, It's been, was held at beginning of April. Waiting for them to announce their judgement sometime in July.
