From the 4th of August 2025, if you leave the UK more than three times within a 12 month period, an automatic notification goes to HMRC and they start doing an investigation on you...!

For example, this will catch out folks like GateBoy, who is planning to defraud the system!

MV,thankfully we have 4 more years of Labour!

The bit I don't get is house prices are crashing but the Bank of England recommended a looser cap for lenders to enable a higher loan to income ratio.

Skier, met someone over the weekend that has been trying to flog their property, with little success. On Friday they dropped the askng price, by a few grand, but in my opinion not nearly enough... But I didn't say that to them...

High = 1.00

Average 81.26

We will not discuss the low forecast, as itwould be bad luck.

GateBoy, you really do need to try to keep up!

That story was posted on here last night and is old news.

"All things considered, I think the odds of Lloyds reaching a £1 share price again are pretty good in the long term, providing that economic conditions steadily improve over time and no new spanners are thrown into the works."

Declares billionaire as he puts £250m mansion up for sale!

John Fredriksen, a Norwegian marine tycoon, is reportedly selling his 300-year old Georgian manor in Chelsea just weeks after criticising Rachel Reeves, the Chancellor, for abolishing the non-dom regime.

Mr Fredriksen, who was the UK’s ninth richest man with a £13.7bn fortune before he announced his departure, bought the property in 2001 for around £40m.

Lads, the country has gone to pot!

KISSIMEE, you are correct, many folks are trapped in a time warp and think they still have an empire.

But that also that very much highlights that as the UK to invade lots of countries, those folks are now 'invading' the UK.

Seems fair to me really....

MV, everyone needs to pitch in here, including your good self, as the nation is in a state of crisis.

We all need to tighten our belts, to boost the economy!

And follow France, as it toys with the idea of scrapping Easter Monday and VE Day bank holidays to provide a much-needed boost to their economy, the UK could follow suit.

With economic growth declining in April and then in May this year, that boost could be an ‘attractive’ option for the Chancellor, in terms of the facts and figures, scrapping a bank holiday would be good for GDP and the UK should probably do it.

Senior Economist including Charlie Cornes agreed that cutting a bank holiday would help to balance the books.

Rachel Reeves could avoid tax rises or spending cuts in the Autumn Budget.

The most costly bank holidays, Christmas and Boxing Day, are also the most culturally important, states the Adam Smith Institute economist, but seasonal bank holidays in May or August, are not cultural bank holidays.

Yes Antony, Abbott is a complete dinosaurs.

Has been suspended by the Labour Party pending an investigation into comments she made about racism.

Maybe it's time she retired from politics....

Dorfan, thanks for confirming what I stated was correct and do please acknowledge yours ounces.

Beeching was responsible for the line/station closures, which was commissioned by the tories!

Let's not try to rewrite history now...!

Is that the lloyds gravy train, with excellent dividends and capital gains?

Triumph, yes I would happily support Jeremy and his new party. He is much closer to my core ideology, obviously.

By engagement of younger people, we'll engender a sense of of political responsibility at a younger age, thereby increasing political accountability, which will directly translate to economic benefits, increased equity values and more left wing, socialist Labour governments!

What is there not to like?
