Jammare,Why are we picking on Iraq now,are you related to four weeks short of a budget Javid?
"We badly need President Trump to take out another high level Iraq top person"

Lets hope RBS push the divi higher tomorrow and apply pressure for Lloyds to do the same.

Boomer, ask yourself do you need a car,could you survive without one if cheap public transport was available.
You would also get fitter and cost the NHS less.

Stick with electric buses,a gradual rise in fuel tax (5p a litre raises £2bn), a 20% drop in bus fares and we can alter human behaviour.
Don't fight it, throw your car keys away guys!

If Lloyds decided to increase the divi by 38% this year that would be positive.

You get more bang for your buck by spending £5bn on buses which could be in place by the end of the year.
Another good Labour party policy,vote Conservative and get Labour.

Boomer,leave the experts in the market to work it all out.
Net result Lloyds slightly down.

Gateboy,
" and hope for capital growth as the benefits of Brexit kick in."
That gives me confidence.

"I believe that economic data such as high employment and low inflation alongside wage growth could produce stronger economic performance than many investors are currently pricing in".
I don't believe the inflation figure of 1.4% and the increase in stealth taxes such as council,workplace pensions and the perfect excuse to increase fuel duties will lead to any stronger economic performance.

FarEnd,
I don't think for a minute they are frightened,they know we would be hard pressed to replace the products we buy from them.
Our relationship is like that of Canada with the US but without any natural resources and Canada invariably complies,
when you cross the border into Canada everything man-made remains the same.

TheFarEnd,
You know Canada doesn't need a frictionless deal,there is the small question of 3,000 miles of ocean to cross.
Nothing changes whether we trade on WTO or a FTA apart from friction and as the EU is manufacturing for 440m consumers over frictionless borders their cost price will always be lower than ours.
A useless withdrawal agreement and a useless trade agreement.

Livestock,the mortgage market which really matters for Lloyds has a LONG way to go before it recovers to the mid 2000's when with a smaller population we had 2 million more mortgages.

It's a sad state of affairs when we have to revert to talking up the housing market to boost morale.

Lovely satellite picture today of an unfrozen Baltic sea at 11.30hrs

Get yourself some "red" electricity of the roof Boomer!

two can play that game.
evening standard reported 90 mins later, metro in full compliance,who's paying who?

Evening Standard published this one at 13.58 today suggesting Metro handling money from Cuba/Iran.

Will be interesting to see how they raise the current £28bn from fuel duty, tax electricity?

jl5006,
I can't believe a word you or Boris say.

No doughnuts today, just feel the country is boxing itself in.
Changing direction like Thatcher did took all of the 1980's,we're probably better off going for protectionism now until we are strong enough for free trade,Europe beat us fair and square.
Should have done this during the North Sea oil boom!
