''They will have to be a major intervention and shared responsibility from both Government and Lenders to support these struggling borrowers ''

I would have thought it was the responsibility of people borrowing money to make sure they can afford repayments. Lenders have affordability criteria in place . Historical base rates have been about double the current rate, which means both parties affordability test should have taken into account, movements back to normal rate levels.

posting more nonsense I see.

2016 - get the fk over it.

Problems in the UK regarding sewage has nothing to do with being in the EU or not .
The problem is Victorian infrastructure (with increasing population) ,that is unable to cope when storm water cannot easily be absorbed into the earth following a very hot and dry period making the ground rock hard. 2022 was an extreme case of that.
It will be many years until more updated infrastructure is in place throughout the UK . London has now recently opened a super sewer.
If the infrastructure cannot cope, it is a case of using overflows or having the sewage backing up into peoples homes and businesses.

''We now let container full of bad meat into the UK because our border controls are still not ready and compromised.''

strange thing to say when there were no checks when part of the EU ,when these products were coming from the same countries

was meant to be on a new thread, not a mortgage thread.

once again - as with ''No one predicted all those'' in relation to interest rates/inflation,
you now say war was a surprise to 'everyone'.
You really should stop thinking you can speak on behalf of everyone

Ever since Russia took over Crimea from Ukraine there would have been voices about Putin going much further.

'' people adjust to being poorer and living in a poorer country.''

It appears that millions haven't and wish to enter the UK by any means.

''People have experienced sharp food price rides, fuel and energy rises and mortgage rises. No one predicted all those.''

I think most sensible people knew that the post GFC era of very low rates of borrowings costs, along with low rates of inflation were not going to be forever.

Near the end of the same article -

''According to Costa and Beddow the FCA and Bank of England are currently recording the lowest level of mortgage arrears in 15 years''

''and hope the divis keep flowing''

HFEL have never as yet cut the dividend. They still have a dividend reserve pot.

''Last year 31st Oct 2021 to today Henderson issued 3,955,000 of additional shares effectively 2.55% increase in the number of shares, which won’t help the NAV of this stock''

The issue of new stock would have been beneficial, as they are priced at above NAV per share.

''irrespective of the economic headwinds China’s zero covid policy is having.''

If the Chinese policy has been a headwind, then the direction will change when the policy is no more.

''if anything the chairman will do to support the share price and actually do something about capital appreciation!''
Investments are being made to fit in with the remit of the trust.
We have have many years of very low interest rates/bond yields. Now that has changed, which means high yielding stocks have more competition with safe cash saving accounts and higher bond/gilt yields.
In anticipation of this, I have been drip feeding my purchases of HFEL.
I will continue to purchase if lower levels continue. When interest rates peak and/or start to fall back again , then HFEL will look more attractive again. I would have benefited when this happens by having purchased at low levels.

ep has been reluctant to say how many previous Id's that he has had.
He must have thought your reference to Dr Who was related to him - very sensitive.
