Lack of fuel. No, sorry, that is next month. ;))

polar.

Thank you for the snippet.

Did it mention the cause of chaos?

Lloyds is a good share to watch.
A barometer of what the market thinks no- deal will do to the UK economy.

We shall soon find out.
Whether we prosper over the next few years is for the next generation.

The Brexit referendum was won in the main by older voters.
The young voted remain quite strongly.

since that time a few million younger voters are on the register.
Sadly a few million older voters have died.

In the age of the internet national boundaries and nationalism seem outdated.
Brexit is an old farts last throw of the dice.

Of course no reason just as Sterling dropped 20 to 25% for no reason - idiot

[k38] 10/12/2020 20:18

No reason is needed if you are part of the mafia union. The ordinary people in this shambles union pays the highest price for everything.

Dividends will do good to small investors and the economy.. it's stupid for banks to hold billions in cash.

[k38] 10/12/2020 20:11

We are going to get dividends paid new year if even it's one off, which I believe will be. I just don't want to hear unaccounted them right now... june, July will be fine.

[heialex1] 10/12/2020 20:04

No, but the health of U.K. economy and banks does... keep up

[k38] 10/12/2020 20:00

Wrong again.. dividends has nothing to do with deal or not deal.

Well it will certainly be hard to tell what short term will be. I think next year we will see massive job losses due to this years lock downs and destruction of businesses. We have a large hospitality sector so staff will need to move into other areas.

That said we might just see a boom in self employment and startups with the lack of jobs at first. More so if the government pump in support packages.

Also there is the fishing industry that will expand rapidly so plenty of jobs to be had there too.

I am excited about the future of the UK and believe it is better to show the EU we mean business. We cannot appear weak on the world stage when we are trying to carve a piece of it going forward.

[alphorn] 10/12/2020 19:48

The white doves are circling. Lol

[alphorn] 10/12/2020 19:47

At least now many Exiteers are talking about short term pain in place of stronger economy and out into the blue sky from day one.
So the question has moved to what is short term? A week? A year? A decade? Longer???

[huffy44] 10/12/2020 19:43

EU have shown their hand. Many who wanted to remain have switched to leave after witnessing the EU’s attempts to punish the UK. Angela Merkel warned the EU not to punish the UK but it seems it fell on deaf ears.

Some of the demands from the EU are absurd and I feel worldwide there will be condemnation behind closed doors. Lot’s of trade deals to be done on the side for the UK.

20 done so far 20 more to go with EU partners.

Short term pain for long term gain

Ian Shuter10 Dec 2020 7:09PMIn 1975 I Voted In  - the worst thing I ever did in relation to my country and politics, it even surpasses my naive attendance at a Socialist Workers Party meeting in Leicester and being in 4 different unions before the age of 24,At least the later two taught me to reject the politics of envy that is socialism and created my interest in politics in later life, the EU just taught me that if you give a bureaucrat an inch he/she/they will steal everything they can including our freedoms.... Daily Telegraph.... I was once more a paid up Plaid supporter. Now more an unpaid up supporter of Conservative Party.

You guys are worrying too much. Prices will go up, but you need to be wise and cut the alcohol, newspapers and cigarettes out of you weekly shopping. You will save a fortune. Remember, agriculture only accounts for 1% of our GDP. Services sector which accounts for 70% will still be there. Everyone needs to be wiser.

Banks can re-start dividend payments, regulator says

UK banks can start paying shareholders dividends again, according to the Bank of England.

The Prudential Regulation Authority, a regulator and part of the central bank, said banks are strong enough to do so.

Banks bowed to pressure in March and ceased dividend payments.

Banks including HSBC, Lloyds, NatWest, Santander and Barclays were due to pay billions of pounds to pension funds and private shareholders.

Stopping the payments allowed them to keep the capital and absorb bigger shocks from potential loan losses.

But many loans to businesses made by banks have been backed by the government, reducing risk for the banks.

"The Prudential Regulation Authority [PRA] judges that an extension of the exceptional and precautionary action taken in March is not necessary and that there is scope for banks to recommence some distributions should their boards choose to do so," the regulator said in a statement.
