Royal Dutch Shell (RDSa.L) is not ruling out moving its headquarters from the Netherlands to Britain, the oil company’s chief executive Ben van Beurden said in a Dutch newspaper interview published on Saturday.

All-to-pot, very apt handle this time around, that's how the remain side ended up lol.

You're back then ERV, just before the summer rush has started.
It's all systems go for Ryanair, O'Leary couldn't wait.

Economists or not fleccy you're right about the Euro and you're right about Seismic.
Just saying.

Just looked to see no comments today, so, as this BB is an extension of avanza it saves me from looking over there.
I think we're all resigned to the fact that nothing will be forthcoming from Baylan this side of the summer holidays, so anytime from September onwards, that probably means 2021. Even he surely can't hold off on a decision before the next general election which is due on 11 September 2022.
The only thing that can save him is to have a government reshuffle, then it will be someone else's problem, of course that would make it easier to delay until after the next election.

I think we've all learnt here to never again invest in anything Swedish, I have.
What a fecking shambles.
Enjoy your weekend.

Advice!
“Remember laddie that markets only go up”
Was he the one sleeping on the park bench?

Yeah, but probably everyone of em bank with HSBC so no benefit to Lloyds there then.

They sure did Rosewall and she got 48 out of 59 seat's, that's 45% of the vote lol.

Last night the government’s flagship points-based immigration bill cleared the final parliamentary hurdle to become law – by a majority of 104 – ensuring free movement will cease when the Transition Period comes to an end. Naturally, not a single Labour MP voted for it, (and they wonder why they were obliterated at the polls).
Plus just to be sure yesterday also marked the last possible opportunity for Britain to request an extension to the transition period. As promised by the Government, yesterday’s deadline under Article 132 of the Withdrawal Agreement came and went without such a request, meaning Britain is now committed by international treaty to become fully independent on 31st December 2020.
Raise a glass to democracy, Cheers.

A new law means Santander, Natwest, RBS, Lloyds, Nationwide, Halifax and First Direct have all changed their banking rules.
Personally I generally use PayPal but I guess it's another protection layer, but is it more cost to the bank.

"They have stimulated the markets but not the economy"
That's not strictly true snige, at least not today. It was certainly the case back in 2008 where all the QE was directed at the bank's and financial systems, whereas this time around it can be described as a CV-19 stimulus.
It's not even targeted at the financial system, in case you haven't noticed it's been targeted at businesses, individuals, payroll accounts in fact everything to keep people afloat. Now we know that's not going to last but with all these deferred payments such as mortgages VAT etc it's got to help.
Even Trump gave everyone $1200, some got less depending on their circumstances, that's straight into peeps bank accounts, probably already spent but adds to the economy.
This pandemic is a first in our lives, and the UK is not alone, every country is trying it's best but no-one knows the outcome yet.

Theosus, just how would you stimulate demand? You can't make people spend but you'll be amazed at their resilience in times of national emergency.
I see Starmer is calling for more furlough, it can't go on indefinitely doesn't he understand recession means job losses, you can't buck it. Everyone doesn't have a right to employment, in fact there's a lot make a living avoiding it.

His lot knows all about boom and bust.

It's not Lloyds relevant, nothing is settled yet.
So you still believe this is a direct risk to the financial services sector, it's Barnier, he's negotiating nothing more, when did the EU take notice of so called deadlines.
Listen to the BOE they're not worried.
Torrent of silly nonsense, you sure.

"Try sticking to the subject and not attacking other posters"
The subject is all about Barnier preening his feathers it's just an arbitrary deadline nothing cast in stone. Like I said, anything promoting the EU and knocking the UK is quickly picked up on here hence your post SC.
If you believe that's the end of the city of London's involvement in the EU that's your problem not mine, equivalence is not a panacea for the UK.

I'm just saying that I believe your wrong, I'm not attacking other posters just their views, please get over yourself, if DT is upset about my response I'm sure he can speak for himself.
I read that story yesterday, quickly followed up by the Guardian I might add.

Negativity news outlets quickly picked up by the sore remainers on here.
Save your breath the UK financial services sector will continue to prosper after December 31st.

"Patrao1,
Well Done for buying Lloyds today, Great news."

Great news indeed, we've had a running commentary for the last month or so on this saga ThankF it's over.
As the title of the post say's, yeah, time for a beer, just hope you've made your mind up what it is you are drinking or we could be here all night lol.
No malice Pat1, it's all in jest. GL.

PP, my influence on economic policy is the same as my influence on the Lloyds SP.....SFA.
Regarding fossil fuels, well all I can say is that I have a few RDSB. :-))

How does the reader know what is the latest version when 1) you keep adding to the original and 2) most readers will scroll down thereby reading the comments in the order they're posted.
I think you'll find most will quickly scroll through your comments and not bother when they realise it's a repeat.
Just saying.

Typo....Copy and paste.

PP, if you have something to add to your original comment why post the original again?
Why not just add the extra comment.
BTW, do you post and copy your original if so why?
Just asking, because anyone who reads it would think that you keep repeating yourself yourself yourself, I did.

Not so sure that the UK finance industry will be dented too severely the city of London can be quite resourceful when it has to be, this will help.

The revolving presidency of the Council of the European Union allows individual countries to set the EU’s agenda during the six months of their stint. With Germany about to take over the presidency they will impose a Financial Transactions Tax, says Merkel.
An FTT that applies to the EU member states but not to the UK will, amongst other things will encourage businesses to move away from the European money markets to the benefit of the UK, and will likely adversely affect post-coronavirus recovery plans.
