''to shove Partygate off the news front-pages.''

It has been clear for a while now that the government have been waiting to find the likely impact come October.

''Still peeps are saying it's not enough. ''

It is the same with the NHS - give X and it should be 2X, give 2X and it should be 4X etc

State pension is likely to see a substantial increase next time around,but i am sure that some will say it is not enough.

''Is it just coincidence this has been announced the day after Sue Gray's Partygate Report was released? Hmmmmm''

No it has been made after getting info from ofgem a couple of days about the likely extra impact come later in the year

Maybe an extra 0.5 - 1p may tempt them.

I thought that Europe consisted of a lot more countries than that.
Of course in many cases any support by way of extra taxes and taxpayer funded extra benefits, may mean it representing a higher percentage in relation to GDP in those countries with lower GDP.

UK may be getting measures outlined tomorrow - just hope that they do not steal too much money from businesses where people have risked money investing in them .

''It is the total cost to date''

except that it isn't - it is the running total of pre tax cost of shares

''you would have gained the whole of post event growth in sp price.And more shares to qualify for future dividends.''

divi pot between more shares means less per share.
So you are suggesting that the £3.75 Billion cash that was sitting on the balance sheet would now have been valued by the market to be worth about £4.16 Billion.

Now 14 consecutive trading days where MS have managed to purchase at an average under 44p.

well done - unfortunately on my platform Aviva shares were unavailable to purchase for the whole week following the consolidation - I made do with a spread bet on the day. I have made a strong complaint highlighting what their inability to deal with the corporation action swiftly has cost me. It has gone to the complaints dept, but I am not holding my breath for compensation.
Another consolation is that I purchased before the consolidation shares that I had previously sold at about 457p

st
Maybe someone at MS?
I wish though that could 'fix' it at 10p per share whilst spending the remaining £1 Billion

st
What would be the purpose of this unknown person to 'fix' the Lloyds price at 44p?

st
who is the person in this world that is 'fixing' Lloyds price at 44p and for what purpose?

st
stop being a pea brain

''the "hired man" moved the share price over 100% in 6months to a year!. i''

what a load of ball lox. It is the weight of buying money - demand that would increase a stocks price.

As i said you are losing the plot.
