I'm not disputing how many shares he currently holds, probably due to rebuilding back his share position in the bank.

How many shares Shelly holds today is irrelevant, it does not alter the fact he hastily dumped 94% of his remaining stake in the bank in March unnerving a lot of investors, a fact well noted in the financial media and city trading circles.

The meltdown of American regional bank SVB is a lame duck -excuse.

The responsibilities and duties of company directors is to lead from the front and reasure shareholders who trust them to manage and instill confidence in the business especially in times of perceived crisis, instead of taking fright and rushing to the exit door and selling huge stakes of their shares in the bank on negative market news like many of the Lloyds directors did so in March and in the the case of Peter Shelly a panic sell of 94% of his stake in the bank.

All Lloyds Banking Group Directors sold more shares than they bought over the last year.

In percentage terms Lloyds Banking Group directors have the lowest level of share ownership within the UK banking sector.

You quoted Peter Shelly February remaining share allocation 3,132,269.00 , I'm commenting on the March sale of his remaining share allocation, hence the 94% figure and the trousering of £1.42Mn cash mentioned in my original post.

After 13 years of inept governance, the Tories have run out of time and ideas, UK electorate are in a foul mood and are now ready to vote in a change of Government and get the economy and public services working properly again to benefit and serve equally, the citizens of this great country.

For starters, compulsary reintroduction of the old nationalised long distance bus -network, many of these old routes would simply not be attractive or cost effective for the incumbent operator to run these days.

Huge mistake by the Conservative Party for not electing her in last year's Tory party leadership race, undoubtedly they would be in a much better place in the opinion polls today if they had elected her instead of Sunak, as the 2024 national election year approaches.

The Tories pushed their self - destruction button long ago, tune -up for a Labour Government at the end of 2024, and rebalance your trading portfolio's and investments accordingly !
