Yeah saga going like a goodun Lti, not before time. Not sure where the top is, they may even get an offer.

One can hope.

Taverham, this time next year labour will be announcing another years moratorium as the changes are ongoing. I'm not sure about these changes anyway, given councils past history managing budgets. Are you?

“the mpc vote was 7-2 in favour of 25bps..but the 2 was in favour of 50bps cut”

88, the two who were in favour were appointed recently by Reeves.

Just saying.

C grade was the minimum GCE pass rate, that was before they started drumming down the standards.

Just look around you, and see the results of this. A world where there can be no failures, everyone's a winner, and most with a brain the size of a split pea.

I despair.

I said he's friends with the people that matter.

The police have announced no further action. That was too quick.

2TK, Starmer has now been reported to the police.

The plot thickens on this hypocritical PM, but no worries lefty's, he's friends with the people that matter.

“Lloyds Banking Group Plc (LON:LLOY) plans to appeal a recent tribunal decision that ruled the bank owes £1 billion ($1.3 billion) in back taxes to the UK, according to Bloomberg on Wednesday.

The tax obligation is related to the bank's closure of its Ireland operations over a decade ago.

The lender is expected to acknowledge a decrease in cash of this magnitude in its earnings report due in July, a person familiar with the matter told Bloomberg, adding that the tribunal's decision will not affect the bank's capital.

Lloyds expressed its disagreement with the ruling in a statement to Bloomberg, stating, "Having reviewed the judgment in detail, we respectfully but fundamentally disagree with the tribunal’s decision and will be appealing the judgment.”

“Whatever you are doing Rach - keep doing it”

Another one who believes in fantasy that the rise in UK markets is all because of this government's actions.

Ant901, you're beginning to sound like DCB and Oilerdeekid.

Cheers Rachel 🍷

Wine and spirits up tomorrow.....

As announced at the Autumn Budget, alcohol duty has today also been increased in line with inflation. This helps sure up public finances and helps to fund the investment needed to grow the economy and fund public services.

Yeah, like this is going to help.

Ollerdeekid.

You are somewhat misguided in your comments.

Take this one….

“Since many on here state that 'Rachel from accounts' is doing an appalling job only good things can happen once she passes her probation.”

Yes, after this unnecessary severe self inflicted downturn takes its course there will be a turnaround, (but not from government policies, but they will claim it). That's when all the current, but quiet, government supporters will come out of the shadows and begin a barrage of support. But the crowning figures that will be triumphantly released by a flood of government ministers, all of them will forget to mention that they started from such a low baseline that they had inflicted on us all, that is why they look good.

And this Ollerdeekid.

“Even now we have a record high FTSE so when she is no longer useless we will be flying.”

It is estimated that over 70% of FTSE 100 earnings come from overseas and the US in particular, which therefore makes profits more valuable when translated back into the UK currency. Again absolutely nothing to do with government actions.

You should know by now that socialism doesn't work, especially Starmer's form of socialism. In my book he's a danger to the UK.

Or perhaps you are too young to remember past labour governments, if you are there's time for you to evaluate your thinking. If you're not it's probably too late for you to understand the moronic actions being taken right now.

Meanwhile enjoy the current upward FTSE trend, but rest assured it's not through government actions, and never be frightened to take a profit.

Because every labour term has ended in record unemployment and disaster. That is why they have been in the wilderness for so long.

Have a good day, the weekend beckons.

Thoughts !!!

My thoughts are you're going to get slated for the "Buybacks have done little to inprove the sp" remark.

Just saying.

As for “companies were becoming more confident about their ability to cope with the economic slowdown.” Read, companies are releasing staff in record numbers, holding current investment plans and withdrawing all future expansion. In short, when a storm is imminent you don't carry on regardless under full sail.

Gloom deepens alright, it appears the hard left/misled, on this BB are finally realising the damage their heroes are inflicting on this country.

The softening of the economy is plain for all to see and even their most ardent supporters are realising exactly what labour stands for.

Of course that doesn't include everyone, but they're usually called ‘loopy,’ well on this BB at least.

Have a good day folks.

Yeah, sorry about that B_B. What was I thinking? It's not like me to make a post seem more positive to this lot.

£42 billion it is.

From Politico.

“Rachel Reeves the miserabilist is gone: Long live the sunny rebrand of Britain’s top finance minister.

The Labour chancellor will use a speech Wednesday morning to announce a blizzard of deregulation aimed at boosting the United Kingdom's miserly 0.1 percent growth rate — and turning around the struggling government’s fortunes.

A stage-managed build-up of pledges has included more housing near rail stations, more freedom for pension funds, plans to make it harder for courts to block infrastructure, and a potential easing of U.K. visa rules for artificial intelligence innovators.

Today, Reeves will talk up “Europe’s Silicon Valley” between Oxford and Cambridge — promising rail links, new homes, science parks and even, for the truly cheerful, a Universal Studios theme park. Reeves is also tipped to lend her broad backing — like so many failed attempts before — to expansion of London’s airports.”

“Trying to invoke the spirit of Margret Thatcher” she ain't fit to clean her boots.

Laugh a minute these jokers.

All just before the £42 million tax rises take effect.

It's all too late.

Gawd help us all.

I think HFD surprised us all Lti, I'm back in a modest profit thanks to today's trading update.

How many more organisations, CEO’s, and economic experts are they going to approach because they're bereft of ideas and won't do a U turn on their disastrous budget?

They are softening on the nom-doms but will never admit they got anything wrong. Meanwhile we all have to pay to get them out of the mire.

(Alliance News) - Keir Starmer and Rachel Reeves will meet top executives from some of Britain's major businesses on Tuesday as they continue their quest for economic growth.

The meeting will see the prime minister and chancellor seek to persuade bosses from businesses including Tesco PLC, BT Group PLC, Unilever PLC and Lloyds Banking Group PLC that they are committed to helping the private sector thrive as they attempt to attract more investment to the UK.

It will also see the announcement of further changes to pension rules designed to increase the amount of money available for investment in the UK.

Ahead of the meeting, Starmer said: "To achieve the change our country needs requires nothing short of rewiring the economy.

Yeah, rewire it back to before you lot sneaked into Downing street with all your lies.

“more political trolling today”

Take a look around you, it's called facts. Some like to ignore facts, usually the losers on the wrong side

If all the news outlets are predicting doom it's usually a good sign that something is going wrong. Government policy perhaps?

Btw.

Trolling…

There are people who create several different profiles at once for the purposes of trolling. Remind you of anyone DCB?

And today Reeves has said the country should be like Trump and be more positive.

I think she meant to say the government. You see, she is desperately trying to blame everyone else by saying the country.

She can quote Trump by name since he has been reported as saying ‘Starmer is doing a good job’ 😂😂

Btw, he was just taking the p*ss.

Six months of negativity from this shower and now desperately trying to talk up the nonexistent UK economy.

That's me, I need a bevvy after last night.

Cheers all. 🍻
