Morning Bumble, The facts you set out are an inconvenient truth and therefore dismissed totally by Mr Starmer because it totally negates his rhetoric for another windfall tax.

Meoryou, that's happened to me as well but I had assumed it to be the curse of predictive text

Slowly, Slowly catchee the monkey

The board had been rather like an itchy butt that you cannot resolve in polite company today. Despite to ruffled feathers gave a good weekend everyone

PANG, Apart from submitting an Amicus Brief I don't think uk government did anything to assist BP following deep-water horizon incident ( or is that your point)

Well said J1979

KRSS, i assume you will be aware that companies such as BP are the mainstay of many pension funds. We were all told to get private pensions because the state can't afford to look after its pensioners properly, and you think it's now OK to raid our pensions as well. I think not

Bumble in reality companies like BP are a soft touch and an easy target for Starmer because he has no clue what else to do. UK needs BP and others to develop our energy resources that are woefully inadequate. What did successive governments do with the trillions taken in taxes from the north sea.

Apologies Lokiloo, wretched predictive text

Lollipop, What about the 65% tax BP are already paying to the government now ?

DarkEnergy., I do not have an axe to grind with you, or indeed anyone else on this board for that matter. Retirement appears to choose to be confrontational and nasty, which is unfortunate because that's not why we invest and find this board useful. I suggest perhaps you should direct your comments to him.
Regards Jakers

Good morning Spights, Meoryou and all., Our United Kingdom will come together yes in grief and sadness at the loss of our wonderful Queen, but also with a sence of dignity, and that's what will see us through these dark days. It puts the daily ups and downs of the market into perspective doesn't it ? Have a peaceful day everyone.

RIP YOUR MAJESTY

Retirement, So what if some people own just a few shares. Not everyone can afford to hold large volumes but even those who only hold a few are all a very welcome part of the BP family and is disingenuous to mock them on this platform

Could we perhaps put aside all other concerns this afternoon and spare a thought for our gracious Queen who is facing a grave health challenge at this time please join with me in a prayer and hope for her to make a speedy recovery. Thank you all
Jakers

Well said Bumble, Yes we the shareholders own BP., somewhat befuddled by Retirments comments

"Oil"

Retirement.. Turkeys never vote for Christmas. Personally I would like to see pil stabilise at $80 and that would safeguard our dividend increments as well as capex etc

Theaky, not sure dear Bernard would appreciate such intimacy with Ms Truss, however, any means to an end I suppose lol.

Our new Prime Minister has just stated in the house that there will NOT be any additional windfall tax levied on our energy companies
