"UK core inflation is INCREASING !"

You can say that now the EU rate has only just started a moderate decrease.

"Before this stock trading was either by post or telephone for private retail investors."

Wonder how many peeps here have held just paper certificate's in their time?

Labour is the clear winner for the deepest recessions by far.

But you have the last word DT.

"The Government are to busy recycling dinghies"

If you replaced border control with Doctors receptionist no-one would enter.

Just saying.😊

DT.

You'll see a mess alright if the motley crew of Starmer, Rayner and shadow chancellor Rachel Reeves gets anywhere near no 10. Nobody's capital will be safe.

Six months ago falky posted that he's out of Lloyds and wouldn't return until it was sub 40p. He was slated and ridiculed by everyone. Now you are all agreeing with him!

I don't look at the SP anymore just see if DT has posted and you know it's gone down. 😂

Forgot the link.

The owner of British Gas has been dubbed a 'pantomime villain' after telling investors it expects 'significantly higher' profits in its household supply business over the coming year.

Ahead of yesterday's annual general meeting, Centrica said in a trading update its performance so far this year 'has been strong overall'.

Full-year earnings per share for 2023 were set to be 'around the top end' of analysts' expectations.

A spokesman said: 'As always, uncertainties remain over the balance of the year including the impacts of weather, commodity prices, the economic environment, any changes to regulation or government policy, asset performance and the competitive backdrop for our energy supply businesses.'

Critics had pointed to the cost of living crisis facing millions of households over the past year, following Russia's invasion of Ukraine causing energy prices to spike.

Although shareholders may welcome the profit update, it will not impress many struggling households, said analyst Russ Mould at investment platform AJ Bell.

'The company is starting to resemble a pantomime villain,' Mould said, arguing the 'optics are particularly uncomfortable' given the firm has benefited from rule changes that allow it to reclaim losses from its capped prices.

'Unlike some utility suppliers, Centrica has been spared much pain during the energy crisis because it benefited from its wholesale business.

'Before 2022 the British Gas operation saw significant churn amid strong competition, yet much of that competition has now exited the market, putting Centrica in an enviable position.

'The question is whether political and regulatory pressure will intervene to upset the apple cart.'

It certainly will if Labour get elected next year.

A little premature but I told you he would be back.

Another 250,000 people in the last 3 months are now officially classed as workers.

If the indigenous peeps are the lazy/feckless, where are they coming from? There's not that many car washes.

It must be the Hong Kong, Afghan or Ukrainian contingent.

Slowly slowly the Ponzi scheme of ever increasing population to finance the various systems is being dismantled.

If the UK can wean itself off immigration we will be even more the country of choice, while Europe slowly sinks under the advancing tide.

"And so we should seeing as we built this country back up from the rubble. Jealous, well try living like we did."

If I remember correctly Gazzleberry you said on here you're still in your sixties.

Built it back up! Yeah all on food rationing something, you've only read about.

The only thing you remember is sunny Jim Callaghan's winter of discontent and the rubble was all the rubbish after the bin strike ended. Another lefty disaster.

Why these people never learn is beyond me.

"The numpties that voted for Brexit will never admit they got it terribly wrong"

Er, the numpties that voted for remain got it wrong Gary59.

Wrong by a margin of 1,269,501 votes that equates to 51.89% were correct and 48.11% were wrong.

That's democracy for you.

'Get over it' (borrowed that phrase from Lti).

Different methods to measure a country's prosperity.

I don't consider comparing stock market valuations as one of the metrics.

I'm very happy and content with the status quo avocet123, and for the future of my children and grandchildren.

Get over it.

No more Bunga Bunga.

FYI, its relative, he was a Lloyds shareholder. 😋

"Brexit is adding to our financial woes because the EU and the USA are punishing us as a warning to others - we were never going to prosper outside."

The UK economy has grown as much, or more, than all G7 European peers since Brexit.

Don't take my word for it Taverham, DYOR.

"Infamy, infamy, they've all got it in for me!"

"A coward to the end."

Ring any bells mick-b?

Sturgeon resigned because she knew what was coming. A coward to the end.

Tell us mick-b, I can't recall Boris ever being arrested, only a fake one somewhere.

As Gazzleberry would say… good riddance to the lying thieving piece of filth.

What goes around comes around, moron's.

Don't you just love it.🤣🤣

Probably won't be hearing anymore bile from Gazzleberry and machismo from now on, good riddance you sanctimonious p rats.

Russia's deployment of nuclear weapons in Belarus next month will only add to the uncertainty.

Storage facilities have nearly been completed, but they're not saying what types of nuclear weapons.

Slight change to the layout this morning?
