Sold 50k @63.8p couldn't resist. It's only temporary.

CGT on share dealing is another downer.

Starmer.

“We want to encourage UK share ownership”

All will be revealed in 8 days time.

Love it MV.

“But can you name one PM or Govt that actually improve the Uk?”

Winston Churchill.

Gunsup.

Methinks you've forgotten what she inherited from the shambles of the Callaghan government.

His list of failures is endless and well documented but the public just tired of high inflation and constant industrial unrest.

A complete disaster, remind you of anyone in the labour regime today?

Correct 88, no one complained when the government was supporting companies and households. Labour constantly voted to extend the lockdown. That's been conveniently forgotten.

For info.

“Mr ASP.

Respect cheers bros that weekly post. Plenty of the problems to consider”

“The Algo didn't think it was worth buying back this week”

The algorithms which are a set of mathematical instructions or rules that, especially if given to a computer, will help to calculate an answer to a problem. They probably know what is coming down the line. Which brings us conveniently to A1's next post ….

“Labours Economic Collapse - 2025?”

The algo has it.

Although they deserve it, I must take a break from this labour bashing. The poor delicate lefty's have no meaningful reply and can't handle it.

And another instant recommendation from STP lol.

TFIF. I'll be down the juicer soon.

What the feck do you expect from Labour?

No one knows.

So long sucker.

You obviously didn't read the post properly and take it in.

Btw, I see you didn't forget to recommend your post STP.

French President Macron has had to admit that the EU is “over-regulating and under-investing.” Seems he's coming round to the UK’s realisation 8 years later.

Not the best advertisement for the Bloc coming from the EU’s Champion-in-Chief. Meanwhile, the UK – now free from the shackles of the EU’s red tape – is the top destination for investment in financial services and has the highest GDP growth in 2024 than any other European country in the G7, despite declining since labour came to govern.

Give them time, hehe.

“To stop spiralling rental prices, Kamala Harris plans to ask Congress to pass the Stop Predatory Investing Act, to disincentive the practice of investment companies buying homes in bulk.”

What happens over the pond happens here (hope not).

With labour struggling and desperate for something to announce they may look to their democratic allies to make some headlines and spin it to their advantage.

“The Stop Predatory Investing Act aims to prevent future homelessness by curbing corporate landlords' ability to monopolise the housing market, ensuring more affordable housing options for working families.”

A901, the thing is you can't defend this government over their actions, so your frustrations are confined to slandering the Tories.

Unfortunately you fell for the soundbite headlines before the election and now you've got to live with it, sadly so has the UK. So far you can't justify anything this government has announced only the withdrawal of the winter fuel payment. Which speaks volumes about your ‘I'm all fight jack’ outlook. Although I do agree with your statement that “Labour are going nowhere” that's because they haven't got a clue.

Try posting when labour does something for the common good. Until then take the flack.

Gate13Boy

I wouldn't trust them ever, they're not two faced, they're fifty faced. Before you know it the next budget will be upon us. Then probably a quick follow up one to this one to amend the fk ups they haven't thought through properly.

Who knows what they will do but given the socialist record it's not going to end well.

I was hoping for seven figures but didn't make it.

Such is life.

I wonder who recommended that post? 🤣

Is that the best you've got A901? Well I guess that remark should be aimed at the BBC. A bit pathetic don't you think?

A fellow MP is moaning she cares for her children, jeez!

Could you enlighten the Lloyds BB how labour are doing really well?

No, I thought not.

Reduces rates

Meanwhile in the UK...

NatWest is the latest bank to announce it will be increasing mortgage rates, upping selected fixed rates by up to 0.3 percentage points.

It follows fresh in the wake of Santander and TSB, which announced similar changes on Monday.

Mortgage rates had until last week been on a downward trajectory.

Now they are creeping back up again with the lowest five-year fix at 3.79 per cent and the lowest two-year fix at 3.9 per cent.

More lenders are expected to follow suit and increase rates over the coming weeks.

Swap rates are the easiest way to interpret where fixed rates may be heading.

These have been affected by the upcoming budget centred around potential tax rises, volatility in energy markets - which again was a major driver of inflation post 2022 - and continued geopolitical instability in the Middle East, especially its potential impact on oil prices.

Labour going well lads? Not so far, it's a $hit show.

🤡 Time for your popcorn.

Discord at №10 the cabinet revolt.

“It’s not just the business world and jittery investors spooked by Reeves’ Halloween budget and that ever-expanding, meaningless ‘black hole’. Bloomberg’s Alex Wickham reports that several cabinet ministers have penned a letter to Sir Keir warning against any upcoming spending cuts. Leading the charge of the cabinet revolt is none other than Deputy PM Angela Rayner, with Steve Reed, Shabana Mahmood, and Louise Haigh among those who’ve signed the warning memo.

Hardly a ringing endorsement of a united front in the Cabinet. Meanwhile, Reeves reportedly has her sights set on squeezing £35 billion from tax hikes – including a “several percentage point” rise in capital gains tax on share and asset sales. It’s expected spending cuts will scrape together around £5 billion in savings. All makes for a horrifying Halloween Eve.”

Note, they are not ‘up in arms’ about increased taxes. Only about spending cuts, where all their mates are employed.

"Just seen this and nearly choked on my cornflakes.

Nice to see the new professional government are smashing up inflation."

"We were promised change and we are getting it, life is getting better and better by the hour ❤️"

FYI, A901….

‘Analysts were anticipating the rate to drop from 2.2% to 1.9% but a lack of growth on the monthly figure (0% vs 0.1% expected) saw headline inflation drop further.’

We've had the change, change to clueless incoherent policies and now…

LACK OF GROWTH and the numpties here are crowing about an unexpected drop in the CPI.

We thought growth was the priority. The Tories left them with +1.7% when labour entered government, hehe.

Have a successful day.

Yeah hardup, I bet he was that annoying little s h it at school. Every class has one, and so it seems every BB does. Trouble is we've been landed with this one.
