Here's a political article that may have a bearing on LBG.
“BlackRock has warned that the upcoming General Election may lead to bond market turmoil as pre-election tax cuts and spending pledges from both parties are expected. The asset manager warned of the risk of the return of bond vigilantes (investors who sell bonds to protest inflationary policies) as parties attempt to win over voters. While Labour has been attacking the Tories over Truss “crashing the economy“, they might want to look in the mirror. Labour’s £28 billion a year black hole, which Starmer confirmed he would borrow in the second half of the next parliament.”
“The bond markets are clear: Labour cannot borrow to pay for their £28 billion-a-year unfunded spending commitment without risking a debt crisis”.
The Labour Party may have enjoyed the political benefits of the markets bucking Liz Truss out of her saddle. They should remember that those same bond market vigilantes trust socialists even less…
"Question is, what impact will this have on the UK economy and the lloyds share price...?"

Exactly the same as you banging on about the EU all the time.
Dual standards! 😋
"Efforts to counter the orthodoxy of the OBR are growing. MPs and peers have written to the chancellor Jeremy Hunt on Sunday and have now published a report into the OBR’s wildly inaccurate forecasts. Their analysis has found:
The sum total of growth midjudgements in the OBR’s one-year budget forecasts is £558 billion between 2010 and 2023.
Since its formation in 2010 the OBR has misjudged UK public sector net borrowing by £53 billion every year. That’s equivalent to 10% of annual spending by all government departments.
When pandemic years are excluded, the OBR still misjudges UK net borrowing by £25 billion a year.
And Labour wants it to have the final say on economic policy."
I wonder what economic policy that is then? The only ones I've heard, are private school's, nom-doms and the constantly revised £28 billion for the environment/climate change.
The Trotsky.
You can spin things any way you want ‘Leon’ and you seem to have achieved it. Whether with the aid of chatgpt, unnecessary bluster or typical obfuscation as your handle on this forum suggests.
I briefly looked at your post yesterday after a session down the juicer and it's as clear now as it was then.
You can blame sunny Jim Callaghan during the 70’s, Norman Lamont, Maggie, the companies and the pension actuaries. However no amount of smoke and mirrors trying to spread the case for Gordon Brown's part in this can detract from the actual reported fact that the then chancellor, Gordon Brown, abolished substantial tax relief on dividends that pension funds received on their investments. And he will be forever blamed and responsible for implementing this legislation.
The resulting decimation of company pension schemes is there for all to see, or as is the case now, they're invisible.
Just thought I'd have my reply.
Labour just getting going.
‘Given that both parties say that they are focused on getting overall national debt down over the next Parliament, if you really want to do that, then you can't cut taxes and increase spending.
Paul Johnson, the director of the Institute of Fiscal Studies warned that it would be impossible to cut taxes while increasing spending without raising funds elsewhere
You can't cut taxes and keep spending anywhere near where it is.’
‘Increasing council tax on more expensive properties, clearly a case for reforming capital gains tax to get more money from that. They could close inheritance tax loopholes. They could decide they're going to reduce tax relief on pensions.'
Meanwhile, some savers are racing to cash in their pensions amid fears Labour could reimpose punishing taxes on retirement pots.
This is just the start, you have been warned.
Ps. I wouldn't pay too much attention to Gazzleberry if I were you. He backed Sturgeon 100%, best thing since sliced bread, all other political parties are rubbish. Funny how he doesn't mention them at all now. You get the measure of the bloke.
He'll get this post removed lol.
RR78.
Don't think moving to a SIPP will protect you, nothing will be safe under labour.
First to go will be the 25% tax free lump sum. They just can't stand the working man coming into some money even if it is your own.
Remember Brown's disastrous move to taxing dividends, finished the private company pension schemes at a stroke.
They're gonna tell you no new taxes, and the moronic left will believe them.
Give it a rest DT. Someone sold 4.3 million shares and this indicates an inherent weakness.
With over 63 BILLION issued, that kinda makes you the most gullible or the most stupid poster on here.
I know which one I'd choose.
You need to get out more.
Yer waste bins go out more than you.
Re: Chid
Hate to disappoint Tricky, but these so-called ramblings have no input from AI, in fact the AI bots probably get their info trawling Chid's many posts and aliases. 😂
I have to say I agree with some of what she says, but I'm quite selective.
Chips.
If you're not selling your
LBG shares below 100p and your Gold below $3k. I hope you're young enough to realise your dream.
The chances of these supposedly two conflicting events happening simultaneously is probably beyond most people's time span.

“Unless Tories sort this, they are sadly toast & Lloyds s.p will suffer”
A well thought out post, completely summing up LBG’s potential future.

“As to the Tories, they have had 13 years to prove themselves and they have literally distroyed the country.”
He's either too young to remember the state of the country last time labour got booted out or he's that old he's lost his memory.
It takes all sorts.
Reading this could raise a few concerns.

Just done a quick round up. It appears that for my troubles this year I have returned a not spectacular 14.95% increase/return on my holdings, not including dividends. But it is what it is, a profit.
If only I could keep away from the odd AIM punt.
“Sad passing of a great man and visionary!”
Visionary! More like make it up as you go along, typical socialist. Yeah, he really thought the euro through lol.
This country has had some lucky escapes. First we didn't join the Euro, no thanks to Blair and then we had the foresite to leave the EU.
That's proper visionary for you. Where the UK lead's others will follow.
This will save DT the trouble of highlighting this …..
“Britain's economy might now be in a recession according to data which showed output shrank in the July-to-September period, shortly after finance minister Jeremy Hunt suggested the Bank of England might cut interest rates to help boost growth.
Gross domestic product contracted by 0.1% in the third quarter, the Office for National Statistics said on Friday.
It had previously estimated that the economy showed no change compared with the previous three months.
The ONS also said economic output in the second quarter was now estimated to have shown no growth, a downwards revision from a previous estimate of 0.2% growth.
However, separate data showed retail sales in November jumped by much more than expected, increasing by 1.3% from October, boosted by discount sales.”
With figures from the ONS being constantly revised up or down, sometimes by quite large margins. You have to wonder if any employees there trade the market.
“late sell off on wall street last night so looks like ftse and sp opening down when markets open today.”
that could mean more****** from daft trader today then. spare us from the swedish property market meltdown, we're still waiting for the disastrous consequences of the chinese property fallout.
not that it's his concern on here, he's not a share holder. 🙂
Only sold half my holding on the way down from the recent high, beginning to think I should have sold the lot.
It has always been my intention to exit this before the general election and still is.
I wonder how labour’s GB Energy is going to measure up. Part of the money to set it up is going to come from the likes of CNA, it can't all come from nom-doms.
