Chid has been on this BB for as long as I remember, her tone hasn't changed much during her time here. But its difficult to follow someone who has changed their username so many times.
As for the other LBPrat I've no idea, bit like him really
Chid, the BoE inflation calculator indicates 60p (Jan 2010) to be 88p (Jan 2024).
The calculator uses Consumer Price Index (CPI) inflation data from the Office for National Statistics

Labour's FLIP FLOP after a great release fanfare.
More to follow, they make it up as they go.
1. Invest £28bn a year in green energy
2. Abolish the House of Lords
3. Abolish Universal Credit
4. Support the abolition of tuition fees
5. Increase income tax for the top 5%
6. Strip private schools of charitable status
7. Reinstate cap on bankers' bonuses
8. Common ownership of rail, mail, energy & water
9. Defend free movement post-Brexit
10. Increase levy on big tech companies.
But the Dumbo's will still vote them in.
The Labour party faces multiple hurdles ahead of UK General Election.
Be careful, it's not a foregone conclusion.
“Among the key headwinds facing Labour, this analysis identifies three primary areas of concern:
Historical Trend of Losing Support: Labour traditionally faces a decline in support as the election approaches.
Impact of Seat Boundary Changes: The upcoming election will be the first under new constituency boundaries since 2010, which are anticipated to favour the Conservatives.
And this!
Scrutiny of Labour's Policies:
With all the flip flops, as each policy decision doesn't add up they have to drop them.
As the election draws nearer, Labour's policy platform is likely to come under increased examination.
While the winds of change seem to favour Labour, the party's ability to navigate these challenges will be critical in determining whether it can convert its current polling lead into a governing majority.”
Oh yes, Azhar ali another labour faux par. We are still waiting for labour's reply as to who else was at that meeting. Amongst others, Angela Rayner was there but Starmer is not forthcoming.
Deputy leader and not allowed to speak, that speaks volumes in itself. Another ultra lefty and Corbyn supporter “you're all scumbags”!!
He, (Starmer) is doing his best to contain the true socialist agenda but the cracks are appearing, no wonder they want an election sooner than later.
“why the share price actually started down yesterday AFTER the buy back was announced ?”
chid, never trade in the first half hour after opening, you know it makes sense.
Also, don't forget this month you must remember to celebrate the three days when the man is always right. That would be the 29th 30th and the 31st of February…. DOH!
"Islamophobic, anti-Muslim and raci_st” promoting Jewish hatred is ok then?
Khan knows which way his bread is buttered, his record as London mayor is abysmal. All he's got left is to look after and support your own.
“None worse than ex Tory speaker John Berco”
Yup, ex Tory, labour, independent, you name it, he goes with the money but the knighthood has evaded him. He wasn't even a borderline Tory that's why he got labours vote for the speakers job, yes, in short he was a traitor hardup.
“when it does not go their way”
It's called parliamentary procedure Spks. Something Labour wanted changed because of the impending embarrassment of their much quoted so-called unity. They're not two faced, they're fifty faced.
With low unemployment, best hold that thought about job centres, if there is a change of government.
“Labour has never left government with unemployment lower than when it came in.”
Quite fitting today as the borderline socialist government in South Africa reported their usual plus 30% unemployment figures.
Brace yourself, it could be coming to a town near you.
“So I is asking myself why the Govt selling our holding? Why not keep...
For sure Govt should be acting in best interest of tax payer” …
Gunsup.
Amongst many other failures, the then labour government took an 84% stake in the NatWest Group (RBS), the price paid was 500p per share, equivalent. Unlike the Lloyds bailout (another labour failure) NatWest has never recovered to the purchase price, but we now own less than 40%.
Having had ample opportunities to sell the residual at a loss, you cannot hold onto a loss forever.
Something many moaners on this BB should take notice of.
When you purchase the investment of your choice there's no guarantee you'll get your money back. Some peeps just can't understand this and spend the rest of their days moaning about the failure of the SP to recover their entry price.
If the SP does recover they can't bring themselves to sell, either because they feel cheated and want some sort of return or they've become so attached to the company that if they sell, they'll have nothing to moan about.
In short they're miserable and like it that way.
As for acting ‘in best interest of tax payer’ it's better to sell now than delay, because in the event of the incompetent socialists entering no 10, they will only waste and squander it. Like all politicians it'll be promoted as a benefit not a loss.
Enjoy the rest of your weekend 😁
