''all bought back shares are still effectively in circulation until cancelled''

The shares being bought daily are not in circulation;

''carry them in Treasury''
Lloyds do not hold shares in treasury

''Labour said it would back a fuel duty cut but called for further action, including a windfall tax on oil and gas companies.''

Where were the calls from labour when oil was below zero and oil companies were making £Billions of losses, for a helping hand for them.

I suggest you keep an eye on the future 'total voting rights' RNS's

''Net Migration is the correct figure to use to express effects on population and the one used in calculated figures including those Long relied on''

You simply don't get it do you.
YOU are the one who brought emigration figures /net migration figures into it.
There was NO discussion about how a population figure was arrived at.
The MESSAGE was that increasing population adds to demand for housing.

Aris
btw
also your statement ''Clearly you make lying a part of your day in day out trolling''

has been proved to be a lie

Aris
''I did not bring up immigration, it was mentioned by Tantalum''

Precisely, as a way to give the message that increasing numbers of people putting a demand on housing. The numbers quoted were irrelevant in regards to the pressure on demand.
YOU further added to the irrelevance with figures of people leaving the UK and net migration.
Hope you finally understand the irrelevance of your numbers. The only figure that needs looking at is the result - the population.

Aris
''Population growth rate was far higher in 2008 but house prices were falling drastically''

population rose about 3.3 million in the 10 years prior to 2008. Gone up about 5 million in the last 10 years..
Did you not know about the financial crash in 2008 or did you have your head up your Aris.

Dead?
What does that make Barc - dropping from 191p on the 21st Feb to 168p ?

Aris
Maybe you can contact the worldometer site so that they can get you to understand where they are deriving their figure.

Aris
You just said "any prior bits were irrelevant" and then mentioned why they were relevant.''

NO I DID NOT - I said ''Any prior bits were irrelevant - just immigration number''
AND
''The figures from tant were not important''

The post was about increasing population - having exact immigration figures are irrelevant . The message was clear.

Try again - Feel free to point out lying

Aris
you call not re posting all of the very long post from tant a 'lie'.
What a strange person you are.
Any prior bits were irrelevant - just immigration number which may or may not have been accurate. He never mentioned emigration/net migration.
YOU ARIS DECIDED to add the irrelevance.
The figures from tant were not important, the message was - an ever increasing population having a bearing on housing demand.

Note the worldometer link - population figure - the only one that counts - not emigration.

''Tantalum. You also forget that people return and people emigrate. The NET migration fro all countries in 2019 was 270,000, a bit short of 200 + 300 k. I havent checked for during Covid years but it must surely be a lot less. Total NET migration over the last 20 years from all countries has been roughly around the 200K p.a mark''

IRRELEVANT WHEN IT COMES TO MAKING THE POINT OF THE INCREASING POPULATION HAVING AN IMPACT ON HOUSING which the post of Tant highlighted.
Its about time you stopped going off piste.

63.7 million in 2012

''The fact is that while the population of the UK hasn't drastically increased in the last decade''

You are having a laugh - about an extra 5 million people (about an 8% increase) since 2012.

Illegal immigration is a different question, needs to be dealt with''

So what had all that got to do with the post from Tant which includes -

''The total of over 8 million does however create problems. It represents an increased pressure on all our infrastructure from roads and liesure to jobs . nhs and housing''
''The numbers get even larger when you had the illegals and casualhidden over stayers housing. We do not build houses as fast as these people arrive.''
AND
''Too many people''

Basically stating the increase in population as a factor in housing demand.

YOU ARIS brought emmigration figures into it - no need .
