Yes every household in the country with a mortgage and loan will be pleading poverty, and will be looking for cheaper and longer mortgage repayment deals.

Also worth noting, the size of the UK gig economy and part -time workforce on zero hour contracts has more than doubled in the last three years, with the vast majority of these workers paying no tax and still claiming Government handouts in the form of universal credit and council tax benefits.

What a way to run an economy, welcome to Bargain Basement Britain !

Lloyds price - to book ratio may look compelling , however investor sentiment and confidence in the banking sector will remain low until UK economic prospects outlook improves and foreign investment returns to the UK equity market investors will continue to shun banking shares.

Chips

December post, ball park of 58P per share fair value based on the banks 2023 forward looking earnings outlook, i reiterated that figure again in late January, i see no valid reason at present or in the long - term to upgrade the 58P per share price target.

TheFarEnd

Deployment of nuclear weapons.

Belarusian strongman Lukashenko has effectively tied his own fate to that of Putin, growing democratic forces and opposition parties inside Belarus are now likely to use this news and bring about the start of the overthrow of the deeply unpopular Lukashenko dictatorship regime and ultimately help end the war in Ukraine and Putin in Moscow.

My crystal ball gazing reveals, 2024 will be General Election year and the arrival of a Labour Government, and it will be soon time for investors to start sifting the Wheat from Chaff.

Hardup

Maybe for credit union or very small financial institution, certainly not in the event of a major high street bank going bust, compensation could run into the hundreds of billions pounds, firing up the BoE money printing presses overnight to compensate savers on that time scale would send UK Bond International money markets into a tailspin, its simply not going to happen.

FSCS £85000 bank protection limit guarantee, that's one hell of a taxpayer backed IOU.

In reality, totally unaffordable and unrealistic, savers will be be forced to jump through many hoops with no time span attached before they eventually receive any reimbursement on whole, or part of their lost savings in the event of a major high street bank going bust.

American stockmarket jargon, equivalent UK meaning " black swan event " imminent.

Wealth inequality in America is fast gathering pace , the magnitude of the disparity is just mind blowing with household poverty rates now much higher than in most developed nations.

Another fine mess For Lloyds, inherited from the 2008 ill - fated takeover of HBOS.

BRICS a new world order, lead by China, India and Russia and shortly to be to be joined by Iran and Saudi Arabia and fellow OPEC Gulf States will effectively control over 90% of the worlds oil and natural gas supplies.

Is this the beginning of the end of American global dominance and the US Petro Dollar ?

Lloyds dividend yield and dividend payout ratio to shareholders....... spot the difference ?

Too little to late, Sunak is past the point of no return, time has run out for this Conservative Government.

1 x £25 on the maximum £50K holding, disappointed to say the least, on an annualised return basis my prize money is now falling well short of a typical Building Society fixed rate savings account, nevertheless still worth holding for high rate taxpayers and keeping your hard earned cash out of the taxman's grasp.

German Industry..... average productivity and high labour costs.

German built car reliability and build quality, poor compared to Japanese and South Korean cars.

TheFarEnd

Both have positive and negative perspectives.

The UK has gone down this path earlier and further than most other advanced western economies.

Some may say, it's simply the outcome of successful economical and technological develoment.

Others may say, it's causing a prolonged decline in our standard of living and significant social impact on society.
