Gate13Boy, I can't abide Starmer, but at the moment he is the leader, so we are stuck with him.

I hoping for a bolt of lightening, or something, to take him out.

The sooner we get a real socialist leading the party and the country, the better.

Please don't stress about it, as I have a second nationality and passport I can fall back on.

UK passport holder and born in the UK, my friend.

I'm a British national, thank you. I paid my taxes in the UK for a long time and now make voluntary contributions, so will get a full UK pension. But as I'm in the UK a lot we need to sort out the transport infrastructure, big time, as I need to use it. Also, I don't appreciate the price rises we are all seeing owing to the tory mismanagement of the economy. Also, having used the NHS myself, if I have to use it again, it want it to work better, so a lot of investment required in the NHS! All clear now?

The scary thing is if that's what they're doing to the least well off in society, what are Labour going to those who have loads of dosh. I feel it in my bones, but I am sensing something fairly horrendous is about to happen on Wednesday. Pensioners, investors, landlords, inheritance tax and capital gains tax all to be squeezed, until the pips pop!

It's targeting the poorest folks in our society. I don't agree with an increase in the cost of using busses. Just hit high performance cars instead and those who lead a flamboyant lifestyle.

Increase of 50% in flat rate bus price from £2 to £3!

I'm over £10k down off the peak value last week.

Avocet123, "Sold out whilst still 17% up. There is no way I will subject myself to another 10 years of LLOY in the doldrums."

Panic setting in!

Some folks going into headless chicken mode.

Remember, 'keep calm and carry on'! That how we gave jerry the size nine up his ***.

Folks, as you will already be aware, we are very much on the ropes here, with the budget looming!

JCB, a bit unlucky in your timing, but there is huge uncertainty now with the Budget looming.

As mick has already said, Labour may reverse the banking levy.

Given that Labour are releasing lots of info about what will be in the budget, to avoid a liz truss car crash budget, I am just waiting for the bombshell to be dropped on how investors and the banks are to be hit...

Darth, absolutely agree, Lloyds is the bellwether for the British economy!

Question is how low this drops, in coming days? Bad news in the budget, we hit 50?

Happy head, it is another drop today (so far), on top of tve fall on Friday, and who knows what Tuesday and Wednesday will bring. But if we see further falls, we enter the terrority of a buying opportunity!!!

LLOYDS is one for your pension and retirement!

Down she goes again

We could keep the Germans out in WW II, but unarmed migrants in inflatable dingys, and we can't stop them, WTF????

Atisha, I do agree that the country is in a complete mess.

What is worse is the tories didn't, brexit didn't and I have no expectation that Labour will either 'stop the boats'.

We are approaching an armageddon scenario for UK values and beliefs, as we know them, or should I say, knew them...

How is the much heralded invasion of Lebanon going???

Any reports anywhere in the media of progress???

1) The genocide needs to stop and there needs to be a ceasefire.

2) Food aid and medical supplies needs to reach those who are currently suffering famine in Gaza

3) The hostages needs to be returned

4) The warring parties needs to start talks on a two state solution

I am not expressing support for any side here, but there needs to be a peace plan, simple as!

Evening Uptheladder.

Not really, the proof is in the pudding, land invation of Lebanon still stalled at the border and do you have any idea of the number of israeli tanks have been destroyed there. Like I said they can only kill innocent women and kids, but when they invaded Lebanon, they overplayed their hand. Also note the air strike on Iran actually hit nothing! Israelis are now way out of their depth, and currently bombing Gaza, Lebanon, Iran, Yemen and Syria! Who is the agressor here trying the rest of the civilised world into WW3, do you think? Maybe it's time you developed some critical thinking and stopped naively believing everything the mainstream Western media feeds you...

The new tax rises in employers NI will be simply passed onto consumers, in the form of higher prices for goods and services, so in the Joe soap will end paying for employer NI tax rises anyway!
