'' transition''

what ,you mean cutting down with huge subsidies the production of the mine by 10% per year for 10 years so that 10% of the workforce can be trained for new jobs each year? .

That would be total nonsense.

''Her achievement was to value cheaper imports above the livelihood of mining communities, with no support or transition ''

I think you will find that there has been transitioning, which could not happen whilst unions wanted to keep uneconomic pits open. Do you think these communities would prefer to go back to working in coal mines?

She was BETRAYED by the 'wets'.

btw the poll tax was a great policy (totally logical/sensible) that failed to make it due to rioting . It would be a much fairer way to fund local government or the alternative, local income tax. A person living alone paying 75% of next doors total payment with 5 people of working age in it is totally outrageous

''Thatcher was an abomination''

She was one of the best PM's this country has ever had.

All the greens/get to net zero asap people should be singing her praises.

Apparently some like 'Just stop oil' (backed by green energy entrepreneur - surprise surprise) think that stopping the UK's 1% contribution to emissions will have an impact on global climate.

What would these people be like now if all the uneconomical coal mines in the UK were still operating?

Lloyds in 2023

D27

don't get confused between share price performance and the performance of a bank.

Just for example, the net profits of GS in 2023 were virtually the same as 10 years prior.

Lloyds made $5.5 Billion post tax profits in 2013 - 10 years prior was a loss.

Required - last chance to do something a bit more in keeping of being a Conservative party.

Scrap stamp duty on share purchases.

Scrap stamp duty on the purchase of a main property.

Scrap inheritance tax.

Kick out of the country all the migrants that were not invited into the country via work visas. Exclude/kick out families of those immigrants who have come on a work visa. Get rid of those here on work visas when they are no longer needed, which would entail encouraging more UK citizens back into the workforce and training for the long term.Let Ukranian migrants stay until such time it is safe for them to return to their country.

''The anticipation of an election on May the 2nd with a resounding Labour win is building, hence the strength in LLOY share price.''

Wake up - Very unlikely to be a GE on 2nd May.

The retracing of Lloyds share price to pre SVB/Credit Suisse etc collapses, would beto do with do with the excellent results from Lloyds, with investors taking advantage of very low valuations. I did post myself for many months that Lloyds was available at 14% + yearly returns to shareholders, being an opportunity rather than the endless complaining with the share price giving such an opportunity.

The lack of sellers at the lower levels is of course another factor with MS looking to make further investments each day on behalf of shareholders.

''I am now up to 750,000 Lloyds shares ''

of course - from 500,000 eight days ago and 600,000 four days ago - should reach a million very soon - excellent for a 25 year old.

''Lloyds are back on the way up to £5 here.''

of course

'' the US have mass faulty thinking over there. Lloyds should be $10 all day long''

of course

''Lloyd's are up just over 0.5% today, but it should be up 50% today''

of course

''Anyone disagreeing with my very, very clever wisdom is a faulty thinker''

faulty thinking alert - send the men in white coats for LBP

I think most people on here are mostly interested in the UK's debt level as measured against GDP, which is lower currently than the US

Don't check very often -

My XRP haven't soared in value since becoming 'for free'

My ETH is up 144%

''how a war would be good for anybody let alone "CUT" debt''

due to the second world war the UK's debt rose to 200% of GDP. It took 50 years to pay back money borrowed from the likes of the US

''That's Silly Billy''

it is - you should cut out the nonsense. You have invested £500 in metro - you will have free shares in them if you sell some to get your £500 back whilst retaining leftovers.

I myself have profits on stocks and with retained shares for free

Brix

''Metro & lloyds last week was profit from Virgin = free in my world''

not in most investors world - maybe investors could comfort themselves by saying that their stocks are free because of the increased value of their property.

Brix

''so are mine''

don't think so - you have only just invested £500

NC

''Mind my gold is doing well''

about the same price as 45 years ago - inflation adjusted

''60p will be a very tall order indeed''

Price per share was in the 60's pre pandemic.

A price of 60p reached at the end of the 2024 BB would only be equivalent to about 50p in December 2019. It would have to be over 70p to be equivalent to December 2019 prices.

LBG is in the best shape since it was formed.

Hoping for a fall back in price for the BB.

In any case each share will get 1.84p cheaper on xd day on a relative basis.

The is a chance of a buyback announcement by Vodafone in May - hope so

Sufc

''Next week we be hitting 50p''

Maybe but I would prefer not to. Valuations don't continue to go up in a straight line without a little pullback - a question of when than point is reached - fell today - many I am sure will be hoping that the pullback of 0.05p will be it before pushing on.
