Albert Manifold is a straight talking no nonsense kink of a guy with razor sharp focus on profitability. He will have the measure of those seeking to depose him, but they will not have the level of support necessary. If they don't like what bp does then they should p..s off and invest elsewhere, we don't need or want them messing with our business.

Hi Meoryou

Never a dull moment that's for sure. I did sell 25% of my holding yesterday as one of my grand children is buying a property in Weybridge so needed help from old gramps

didn't you know this board is now for armchair generals

Harmonica,

Very well said.

There's always one

Yes it will be interesting to see what happens when us market opens. I wonder if 540/560 might be the new norm in the near term

Yes brilliant., we now have two remarkably smart people and I'm satisfied that we are in very safe hands

Yep our wonderful government charges us 52.95 pence on every litre of fuel at the pump, then in addition on top of that they charge another 20% vat on the duty ad well so we are well and truly ripped off by the insatiable need for money to give out to illegals and welfare.

Very pleased to see that there is finally likely to be a U turn on north sea gas which is long overdue.

A very happy Easter time to all posters

I wholeheartedly agree with the sentiment of your post, however, without Trump who else will bring justice for the 40,000 innocent Iranian people who were brutally murdered just for standing up to tyrannical regime in Iran

April 29th

Congratulations and best wishes to Meg O Neill as she finally takes over as our new CEO. She has a massive task ahead to reform BP after years of neglect and failures by her complacent predecessors. Could it be that finally we have a great team in charge.

Good luck Meoryou as long a the delightful Rachel from accounts doesn't whack us with another windfall tax. It's interesting that the never offer to reduce the obscene duty they levy on our fuel

Harmonica I think 612 is not far away. Best of luck

Thank you Spights I was incorrectly under the impression that the threshold was being reduced to £500 in 2026/2027

(My apologies to any poster if my post mislead you)

Are there not two separate issues when it comes to capital gains tax and dividend income.

Yes as of today capital gains threshold is £3000.00

Dividend income allowance before tax kicks in is £500

From 5th April the capital gains threshold will be lowered to £500 so need to be canny when selling if you're holding is outside an isa wrapper.

Hi Meoryou

Interesting analysis but what will happen when comparative normality returns to middle east will put that to the real test. Are we going to see a return to £4.50

or can this enhanced value be maintained. Similarly when Ukraine is settled how will that impact on BP. We are like a game of snakes and ladders I fear

Harmonica

I doubt many on here would know who Red Adair was lol

This board used to be a source of excellent well thought out and helpful information. Lately it has become nothing more than a boring and disjointed source of pointless drivel

Hi Spights

The way things are going you might not have to wait much longer to hit your target price

Good afternoon Spights

Do you think oil companies will be targeted with further levies following this afternoon's cobra meeting. The temptation to clobber us yet again by this administration must be enormous.
