Seeing the Lionesses at Downing Street tonight with the flags of St George hanging in the windows reminded me of Emily Thornberry and that tweet. The only thing missing was the white van. 🤣

And that's still how labour views the working class.

Every BB needs a 🤡 Gate, and we've been blessed with STP. He blows with the wind.

It could be worse, he could be an abusive nutter, but he makes us all laugh with his constant alternating views.

Keep it up DCB lol.

"Come on Spain!"

STP backs another loser, now there's a surprise.

Gate.

As you know, a somewhat different scenario to your situation as my tax free amount was not as generous as yours (170k+).

At the time, my concentration was on keeping the 25% element and not what I was going to do with it.

I even had the opportunity to reverse my decision through HL, but declined.

I haven't been too adventurous and I'd sooner not say as to the full extent. However apart from maximising ISA’s and premium bonds I have monies distributed in various savings accounts.

It certainly concentrates the mind to move excess money when you see your statement after the transfer.

My SIPP was always planned to be passed on anyway, it's just that some of it came early.

Starmer's indecision has fueled the left, which was apparent when they forced the ‘U’ turns of his disastrous policies.

The majority are only there to make as much as they can in the next 4 years. Let's see how many jump when an election is on the horizon.

Holds rates, uncertainty over tariffs.

Corbyn made his move this morning with the official announcement of his new party.

Labour disintegrating before Starmer's eyes.

They just don't get it.

Just to remind you…

STP Source?

STP source?

There's no automatic trigger for an HMRC investigation if someone leaves the UK more than three times in a 12-month period. While HMRC does monitor departures and can investigate if they suspect tax avoidance or evasion, it's not a simple rule based on the number of trips.

HMRC is primarily concerned with individuals who might be trying to avoid UK taxes by claiming non-residence status while still maintaining significant ties to the UK.

Whether someone is a UK resident for tax purposes is determined by specific tests outlined in legislation, not just the number of trips

HMRC has the power to investigate anyone they suspect of tax evasion or avoidance, and this can happen regardless of the number of trips taken.

HMRC looks at various factors to determine residency, including the number of days spent in the UK, work, family, and property ownership.

AI overview.

Starmer up before the Liaison committee getting a light grilling from mainly labour MP's.

A lot of umms and errs, and the usual ‘well let's see what happens.’ He's clearly feeling uncomfortable. I'd like to see him up against someone who's done their homework and make him accountable.

He's a lightweight PM and an embarrassment.

Just in case you missed it STP...

“ A billionaire shipping tycoon who said the UK had “gone to hell” has put his £250m London mansion up for sale after fleeing Britain."

Especially for STP......

“ A billionaire shipping tycoon who said the UK had “gone to hell” has put his £250m London mansion up for sale after fleeing Britain."

"US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent stressed on Monday that President Donald Trump's administration needs to examine the entire institution of the Federal Reserve.

Speaking to CNBC, Bessent said that an inspection of the Fed headquarters will take place on Monday night. He refrained from talking about Chairman Jerome Powell's future, insisting that "at the end of the day, it's Trump's decision." He also refused to confirm The Wall Street Journal's (WSJ) report that it was Bessent who advised Trump against firing Powell, saying that the allegations are based on partial information."

I want a Rate cut…NOW! 😀

"United States President Donald Trump reiterated on Friday that he will "never allow" the creation of a Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC) in the country.

Trump stressed he signed an executive order that bans the making of such an asset and vowed to soon sign legislation that will make it a "permanent law."

Just saying.

Trump ramping up the rhetoric on Powell accusing the Fed of "choking out the housing market with their high rate.

Starmer is doing the same here, but in his usual slippery slimy way. He can't wait for the next thing to crow about. How labour, through their policies have reduced interest rates making it easier for home buyers.

The idiots will believe them. Isn't that correct STP/DCB?

Agree entirely MVarawa. Whilst all his misguided policies are catching the headlines he's busy in the background creating his own version of utopia.

Wrong thread!

“Too much of a risk as really could go either way...likely miss getting back in”

ouzo.

This is a common misconception, missing out to get back in. Never be frightened to take a profit, fair enough. But the misconception is that because you've sold, the mind tells you that you must reperchase at a lower entry point. That IMO is totally false.

If you believe for whatever reasons that LBG will rise then buy them. Entry and exit points are what matters. Too many investors have been left waiting for a specific price as the SP rises away from their preset thinking strategy (forcing them in their mind) to look elsewhere.

There have been many peeps on this BB who have pursued this strategy, to their cost.

Just saying.

STP, I bet you've had a few hidings in your time.

“Parents should be Prosecuted for anyone under 18 yrs old.”

LeeRex.

They're not responsible for them now. Labour lowering the voting age to 16 years. Blimey they're still at school being educated by leftwing teachers. Don't pay tax but can vote. 🤔

And here's me thinking that you're not an adult until reaching 18 years.
