Some on here are confused, they don't know their left from their right.
You gotta laugh.

One-year fixed rate savings deals have hit the highest levels seen for three years after six providers upped rates to pay 2 per cent or more.

Savers prepared to lock away their cash for 12 months can now secure a rate more than three times the level they could have last year.

Al-Rayan Bank leads the way with a 2.11 per cent rate for its one-year account.

Someone stashing £10,000 in either account could expect to see a return of £211 over the course of the year.

Kent Reliance and Charter Savings Bank, both owned by One Savings Bank, are offering savers 2.05 per cent on either platform, while Investec is too.
They are closely followed by Gatehouse Bank and Cynergy Bank, which are both paying 2 per cent.

Personally I would rather take my chances on the market than tie up funds for 12 months, but it's part of an overall strategy for some.
Lloyds doesn't come anywhere near this, but it's not a savings bank, is it?

On a different note it's hilarious to see all the woke lefty hacks threatening to close their twitter account, claiming it's the end of free speech.
You couldn't make it up.

Lloyds today.....so far,
makes a change.

HSBC ShareHoldings (HSBA)

Lloyds (LLOY) 45.325 -1.68%

France is a wonderful country, trouble is, it's full of French people.
5 more years of that crawling little s h i t.

The centrist President's victory over the far-right National Front (FN) candidate, 53, came after a close first round on April 10 - which saw Macron, 44, and Le Pen clinch first and second place respectively to go through to today's run-off. A big question was how many of France 's 48.7 million eligible voters wouldn't cast ballots because of their aversion to Macron and Le Pen, a choice often colloquially compared to deciding 'between the plague and cholera.

It won't happen stagecoach.
Macron has a double digit lead going into these elections. It's been the same evey five years, the MSM issue scare stories about Le Pen and the consequences, why? Go figure.

Brixton, here's the possible source/link, ref; GBnews quoted "allegedly " 750 thousand peeps can't pay their bills.
Btw, I'm a CNA shareholder.

You can win 5-10% of the popular vote in the UK, and still get 0 seats in parliament.
Probably true Skier, but the absolute last thing this country needs is a move to PR.
Nothing would get done, the UK would lumber along just like the EU.

Yes Theosus, this big crater is only just beginning to open. The powers that be, are all working together, in that it's not a few countries that are affected. The order of the day is, don't upset the current status quo, just let everything evolve slowly and we can all work together (same policy's) therefore no-one is to blame and no-one accountable.

QE to QT someone has to pay.

Just released, UK retail sales on the wane. The cost of living will be blamed but full price increases haven't taken hold yet. Purchasing managers have their say at 09:30 hrs, they tend to be a bit more bullish imo.

"Lloyds hires Rebecca Heaton as director of sustainability"

https://uk.investing.com/news/stock-market-news/lloyds-hires-rebecca-heaton-as-director-of-sustainability-2629726

"The Bank of England said on Wednesday that consolidating existing rules for banks and insurers will be a priority, signalling it will resist industry and political calls to keep the financial sector competitive by easing standards."

Why would you ease standards? Just look at the energy sector. We all know how that ended and we're all paying for it, on top of record energy prices.

"Lloyds is a 70p plus share all day long"
Although most, not all, would agree with you SUFC, sadly the reality is that LBG hasn't seen 70 pence for well over 1500 days. That's January 2018, and the general consensus seems to be that this year won't be any different.
But who knows, answer no-one.

I believe Gazzleberry would be safer off with something like this, restricted to 80 stocks for his own safety, especially the AIM.

Will AJ Bell's new app Dodl take fear out of investing? https://thismon.ee/a/10724169

On a different note.
eviking, I note your support for Gazzle about being polite. You seem to overlook his constant disdain for everyone and everything English whilst worshipping everything that wee Jimmy Krankie says or does, with or without a mask on :-). Here's a sample from a couple of days ago.

"Whilst i am dead against this half baked plan to secure the votes of the moronic English electorate, it does make me ask the question, why would anyone want to leave the EU and make a dangerous trip to an unwelcoming country which is in an unstoppable decline."
No one here is beyond reproach.

WW = "Wayne's World"

Highveld, I agree with you about free speech.
However, even your lot are trying to restrict that with your cancel culture, unless of course it fits with your agenda.

"they end up on twitter and the likes of the LSE Lloyds BB getting even more frustrated."

I rest my case lol.
There's nothing more pathetic than an angry exasperated loser, especially a left leaning one.
Love it.

Btw sixteen contributors liked my post enough to recommend it.
Highveld, you seem to have forgotten that you filtered me some time back……. even more frustrated and more untruths. :~))
Have a nice 'bitter' life.

On here again, all the usual guardian reading “know-it-all's” spouting off against the elected government of the day.
Typically they think they are right and don't want or even consider other people's points of view.
After being brainwashed by their teachers and uni professors/lecturers, poor souls must be somewhat frustrated as they have never known a socialist government. Let's be honest who would want to remember the last one, that's where all this started.
When they grow up and enter the real world, most see sense and change their views.
The others, well they end up on twitter and the likes of the LSE Lloyds BB getting even more frustrated.
Me, I love it. (^_^) carry on sucker's.
Happy Easter all, that includes the Saddos, it's not your fault lol.

Pippa. "Those who have a hangover, I wish you a good recovery."
I'm down the juicer right now and as if by magic I've recovered, never felt better.

Plenty on here deriding the Rwanda issue but not one of you suggesting alternatives, including your Messiah 'let em all come' Starmer.
You'll never learn.

LONDON (Reuters) - Russia has warned the United States that there will be "unpredictable consequences" if Washington keeps arming Ukraine.
All's fair in love and war, but the Russians seem to think otherwise.
They thought they could just march in and takeover and didn't expect this much retaliation, it's not fair.
We haven't heard the last of this yet, lots more warnings from Russia re: Sweden and Finland joining NATO, the market is poised to react, hope investors have enough set aside (earning zilch atm).
