''the Tories shutting down our gas storage capabilities in 2017.''

It was Centrica that shut down the facility .
The UK oil and gas regulator has granted the approval for it to be used again

As I have said a couple of times already. With a comparable winter, use of gas should be lower, as i am assuming that most people who are concerned with costs and with half a brain will do what is necessary to cut their demand.

''a law to ban solar farms on agricultural land.''

I hope so - very sensible

''I think we will only see a small increase in divvy and continuing buy backs and debt reduction''

Policy is already in place and includes 60% of excess capital going into buybacks and 40% to strengthen the balance sheet

''if I sold some shares. ''

a special dividend would be an asset leaving the company and so reflected in the share price. Assets held within BP can be unlocked by an investor at any time

''Windfall taxes has been mooted on Oil and Gas shares for months now and and they still have risen 40%''

there is already a windfall tax - the energy levy on UK oil and gas extraction (25% profits levy).
In addition they have been paying 30% corporation tax and a supplementary 10% rate on top of that

''advisers on climate change said in a report earlier this year that the best way to ease consumers' pain from high energy prices was to stop using fossil fuels''

Well I have mentioned that sensible people who are worried about costs will reduce demand with sensible measures,but these people it appears want people to STOP using any - zero costs but freeze to death instead.

''Cutting foreign aid will be another nail in the Uk's credibility ''

wasn't aware of a proposal to cut foreign aid budget.

As I said, the first thing that should happen is that the cost to taxpayers of illegals/asylum seekers (economic migrants) currently in the country being processed,should come from the overseas aid budget and also the cost of the Rwanda scheme.

These are foreigners being aided

With the buyback completion the next thing is Q3 statement later this month.

''spending including that on NHS will not rise in line with inflation''

on one hand people complain about a 'blackhole' due to energy costs support to households and businesses and cutting income tax to 19p, at the same time complain about possible ways to fill some of the hole.

KK has yet to announce his fiscal plan - once it is announced them I am sure there will be plenty of commentary on it including from the OBR.

''it used to have a lot of proper Lloyd's bank investment ideas ''

One idea is to purchase shares at the current price (and lower if it happens) as Lloyds are able to return over 10% to shareholders per year based on current profitability.

''They had all summer to get a plan''

So a number of months ago we knew that LT would be PM and KK the chancellor ?

''Get round the table for goodness sake.''

Are you having a laugh. It is now clear that Putin has been planning an invasion for months/years. They said day after day after day recently that they were just conducting exercises - he cannot be trusted - someone needs to take him out - preferably from within Russia.
Nothing was going to stop him invading apart from Ukraine just handing themselves over to the authority of Putin.

''Of course we do''

ffs - do you not think that if the plan was ready to be announced, it would have been so already.
So you want to know what is in the plan before it has been made and announced - some people

How to invade Ukraine without invading Ukraine - declare parts of it as independent, then move in with an invitation from the newly declared (by Putin) independent states.
