Dorfan, sorry but unless you've got a direct line with Rachel how in heavens name can you say what she has planned? We all know big tax rises are on the way in the autumn. Hitting folks with expensive properties in tbe south is a no brainer!

It can go into the big pot and be redistributed nationwide!

Bloomers, don't worry you'll not have to pay council tax,, as you're too young.

When do your summer holidays end and you return to school?

Planned it seems for richer areas, to help poorer areas, as part of measures to raise more tax and redistribute the wealth that is out there.

I think this is a great idea. I imagine it will be based on the value of a property.

Bottom line folks, if for have a property that is worth lots of wonga, do expect your council tax bill to double or triple!

Financial markets predict an almost 100% chance of a quarter-point cut from 4.25%, the same as the last reduction in May.

Our hancellor, Rachel, will welcome the cut.

Clearly, Lanour can take credit for the reduction in base rate four times since August last year, as it has happened after Labour had worked to “restore stability to the economy”.

The reduction equates to £1000 less in annual mortgage payments, for the typical family.

Lads, we can stick with Labour safe in the knowledge that they'll get the country out of mess the tories the tories left us in!

Livestock/ Troajan the outlook is looking very positive for lloyds and increases the size of my pension, with every increase in the share price.

On here at times!

We just hit a 17 year peak or something, there a bit of profit taking and we have panic with some making with wesk bladders making a puddle on the floor.

Get a grip lads!

"The momentum on Lloyds Bank share price favours the upside to continue above 81.60p. That will likely see initial resistance encountered at 84.00p. However, a stronger momentum will clear that barrier and potentially test 85.00p.

Alternatively, going below 81.60p will shift the momentum to the downside. In that case, primary support will likely come at 80.74. Breaking below that level will invalidate the upside narrative. Also, it could clear the way for an extended decline to test 80.00p."

Kent, yes with the motor finance issue no longer hanging over us, we can expect the sp to move upwards! For those who held through the roller coaster of the last few years / decade, we are going to be rewarded!

Will be steady as she goes, for the rest of the week.

Profit taking, taking place with the bounce, further to rise relating to the supreme Court judgement happening with some of the British banks.

Some profit taking to be expected but now focused on the close this week and can certainly see it above 80p, maybe 83p or 84p.

Adewins, you're being greedy and hasty in judgement!

Lloyds

Again today then!

Amazing!

Evening John!

Good to hear from you.

Have you now retired?

Looks like Chips - 80p, Lucklurker - 84p, Onelongrunner - 90p & TheFarEnd - 90.5p are in the running for the Mr Meerkats YE2025 competition.

Other banks that were impacted by the claim have seen a much better rise than BIRG.

A bit disappointed by the gains today by BIRG, given the ruling on motor finance.

"multi-decade high as investors cheered the recent earnings and the Supreme Court decision"

"Therefore, the stock will likely continue rising in the near term, with the kry target being at 85p. However, there is a risk that it will go through a mean reversion as investors start to book profits. "
