I suggest you go to the Citizens Advice Bureau for free advice.

And Starmer was the head of the CPS when Jimmy Saville slipped through the net as well!

Be careful what you say about STP's BFF Keir, they soon get taken down!

I think the FED cutting 50 bpts might pressure Bailey and co to cut rates today by 25 bpts instead of holding?

FTSE Futures currently up +77pts.

MV........."L&G sells its housing building arm to go back to basics. Lloyds will follow in 12 months."

Maybe selling to raise funds to try and maintain current dividend level? L&G looks to be struggling to maintain it's dividend? Dividend cover in 2022 was only 0.66 and dividend cover for 2023 is only 0.33. Dividend cut on the cards for L&G in the next year or two?

FED cuts rates by 50 bpts last night. DOW initially spiked up on the news but closed down -103 pts. S&P and NASDAQ also closed down. Guess we will get a better idea of market reaction in US when WALL Street opens for trading today, but Asian Markets all up in early trading. Meanwhile BoE MPC meeting today are expected to keep rates on hold?

It's my guess he has been taken out by an exploding pager.

No shares bought back today so no change to figures for 12th September.

"The Eastern Europeans were a blessing to this country, much better than what we are getting now."

But it wasn't just East Europeans that Tony Blair opened the doors to was it.

Let's not forget it was Tony Blairs Labour who opened the door for the tsunami of immigration into the UK.

Well using that argument, you could argue that those that voted for Reform instead of Conservative voted Starmer in.

"Why does this problem exist?"

And your mate Keir is going to make it easier for them to come!
