In Hamilton, Larkhall and Stonehouse, with the SNP in second place and Reform UK in third place.

We much all thank the Labour team on the ground in this constituency, for this superb victory, which is N strong vindication of Labour's economic strategy.

Equally, let us also recognise the utter failure of Reform UK to achieve the electoral success it is desperate for is symptomatic of a party on disarray with resignations confusion regarding policies and a utterly inexperienced membership. Whoever thought Reform UK could do anything useful for this great nation, was greatly mistaken!

Bring back coal I say!

Just has to rub off on the banks somehow!

"Million of Lloyds customers will be hit in the pocket if they don't take immediate action, after the banking giant hiked its fees for selected current accounts."

Hardup, I will remind you by omission in your reply last week, we all know you have diddly-squat or only a mere token holding in lloyds!

I reckon my llloyds dividend was bigger than your holding in lloyds!

Lads, if you're not in, you can't win!

hardup, a good chance for you to scoop up some lloyds to go from the 3 or 4 digit sum you have invested at the moment in lloyds.

Up and British banks down.

Poetry in motion...

AIM2025, "Can see SP ending up around the 400p mark by the end of the year"

What do you see driving a rise like that in the share price, before year end?

As long as the stady climb continues, happy days!

"Over the last 7 days, the market has risen 1.3%, driven by gains of 4.2% in the Financials sector. As for the past 12 months, the market is up 14%. Looking forward, earnings are forecast to grow by 6.0% annually."

BIRG up there with the great and the good!

This type of coverage should drive further investor interest and the share price!

TFE, I dont recall saying they were work related.

Like i said earlier, i see you're one of these misty eyed dreamers still pining after a UK that doesn't exist any longer, and never will again! Try to catch up TFE, Labour are in power, you on the right don't have any effective political voice or representation. Farage let you down once before and a repeat performance is guaranteed, if he even lasts that long. I recommend you stop chasing rainbows...

TFE, I'll be on more flights in a month, than you'll have in a year!

Hardup along with the other misguided loonies on the right, who pine after a past in the UK that is well gone, hopefully will stop chasing the rainbow, accept that Labour will be in power for 4 years and stop tricking themselves into believing that Reform UK will deliver the promised land, having been fooled by the snake oil salesman Farage once already.

PS hardup, there is a good chance I have more skin in the game, when it comes to shares and free capital than you do!

How else could I fund my lifestyle across three countries.

Something for you to ponder on...

You simply couldn't make it up

"India/Pakistan kicking off"?

Historic moment, if the shares could fly now, that would be great!

It took a long time to break even on this cowboy outfit, but thankfully up 30% up now!

This has being taking a bit of a hammering and well done on its peak in 2022 and later highs of 2023/2024.

Currently up 78% from the GSK split, so will sit on them fot the moment, but will probably lose them at some point in the future, as the holding size makes them more of a nuisance, as I have do a filing for each stock I hold as part of my 720 declaration in Spain.

Dandanman, 'disappointed with the growth in the share price' = 'no growth'!
