GateBoy - trading in lloyds shares started at 8am! You clearly have no interest in lloyds Share, as you are not a lloyds Share holder. Please find another forum for your right wing political dribble, you troll!

Paddy, just ignore his posts.

He is a complete imbecile.

Again!

Now that the panic about the budget and new bank taxes is over, the share price is recovering.

LeeRex, please take your rac15m, bigotry, jealousy and hatred elsewhere!

If you've not put enough aside to be comfortable in the later years of your life, that is down to you, not some immigrants!

Of rain fell in Valencia, over 36 hours!

Utter hypocrisy from GateBoy. Complaining about immigrants, when he plans to become one himself and scrounge off Spains social security and health system!

You couldn't make it up!

Impressive close price!

Early stages and not the first time....

Strong words from Qatar's Prime minister in response to Israeli attack on Qatar.

He called for “a unified regional response to confront these hostile actions, which reflect nothing but the barbarism of Netanyahu.”

The way things are going the whole region could desend into a state of war.

"Asylum applications down by 23% in the first half of 2025"

"Europe’s asylum landscape underwent a series of significant shifts in the first half of 2025. By the end of June, EU+ countries received 399 000 asylum applications, a 23 % decrease year-over-year."

Lots of useful data here.

I guess the salient question is if the EU is experiencing a downturn in applications, how do we explain what is happening in the UK?

Yes harleygreen, a busy week indeed, with the Plenary Session of the European Parliament taking place from the Monday, 8 September 2025 - Thursday, 11 September 2025.

"Brokers think they’re going to rise another 12.8% over the next 12 months, to around 91.8p per share."

I guess the already extraordinary risr in 12 months may be slowing. Capital gain now secured by just continuing to holdi the stock, just need to take the dividend from here on.

"The first thing is to avoid making hasty withdrawals. Taking large sums in one go can push you into a higher income tax bracket, eroding pension value and, in extreme cases, depleting funds too quickly. Careful planning around withdrawals is essential."

Gentlemen, at 17:21 I posted, "lloyds share price is up almost 50% this year"

So, 02/01/25 the share opens @ 54.58p

09/09/25 closes @ 81.58p

81.58/54.58 = 1.494686698424331

TheFarEnd, I would say that is close to a 50% increase...

Best you consult your bean counter in future, before you post.

Mods, this forum has been over run by those expressing extreme right wing and anti immigrant rac15t views and that makes up 90% of the posts on this forum.

GateBoy is a political right wing troll with absolutely no interest in lloyds. Please check through his post history and I think you find he does not post about lloyds. It is all right wing politics and critism of the Labour government. He also stirs up other posters on this forum, so is your proverbial, 'bad apple'.

Best ban him, as he is cleraly not interested in lloyds!

Hardup, thank you for being balanced!

Harleygreen, the facts for you are Labour have been in power and it is under their economic policy that the lloyds share price is up almost 50% this year!

Lads, I'm beside myself with joy!

This is the power of Labour in government and Rachel at the driving seat!

Options

- Relief cut back for high earners, meaning everyone gets pension tax relief at a flat rate of 20 per cent, regardless of their income tax bracket.

- Abolish or cap 25 per cent tax-free lump sum

- Pull back salary sacrifice freedoms

Tzap, I like your logic!
