Housing Minister Robert Jenrick this morning insisted there is "every reason" the UK can agree a Canada-style trade with the EU, as the Prime Minister is set to publish his negotiating terms today.

Mr Jenrick said he was "not concerned" of the possibility of leaving without a trade deal but conceded there would be "intense" negotiations to come.

He said added: "We want a deal similar to the one that the Canadians have with the European Union. If we're not able to get that then we'll leave the transition period on similar terms to other countries like Australia."

Boris Johnson has made it clear that he will not be bound by the political declaration attached to the EU Withdrawal Agreement, which sets out the ground rules for a trade deal....

Wish I had waited 3 days before buying LLoy but not too bothered with over 6% div.
Might buy more if it goes below 50p.

There are 886m less shares now than there was last year if you bother to check.

70 million shares is not a lot of money for this company to issue, £35mln., long term incentive plans, etc, staff take salaries in shares instead of hard cash. Put in perspective!

Lloyd's went Dow to 23p a few years ago. With the increase in shares in issue, I can see this going lower than today's price.

it is so screamingly obvious that a No deal and a trade and financial war is next..started already with the shorting of UK stocks and the pound.

and the EU will blame the UK

but this time they have met their match.

QE was justified by Keynesian logic of money supply. It was a lie. Tbemoney didn't go to people to spend. It went to bankers.

Tbe cdo collapse could ha e been unwound by giving people money. That would have been Keynesian and would have allowed time to change the mortgage issue.

Yesterday we learned that Hong Kong is offering helicopter money. Every adult citizen will be given HK$10,000 to spend, to try to fight recession. That is how bad it is in Asia.

Annual run rate of new shares as much as 2%. That's higher than the rate of inflation. In a saturated market like banking, long term, if you are giving more of the company away than the rate of growth, why would you expect a positive return?

[ekuuleus] 27/2/2020 08:53

Which fool in here was banging on about new shares issued of 0.1% being insignificant a week or 2 ago.

Go on here is a other 0.1%. Choke on it.

bargainbob just sucking up to Barnier in deriding our classically educated eccentric elite in the vain hope he will lower entry criteria to join!

Boris Johnson to tear up Brexit deal ground rules

Boris Johnson will set out his 'red lines' for a trade agreement with the EU on Thursday CREDIT: Rex



Boris Johnson is preparing to tear up part of the Brexit deal as he sets out his "red lines" for a trade agreement with the European Union on Thursday.

The Prime Minister has made it clear that he will not be bound by the political declaration attached to the EU Withdrawal Agreement, which sets out the ground rules for a trade deal.

Downing Street sources said the rules of engagement agreed by Mr Johnson last year had been superseded by promises made in the Tory manifesto on which he was elected in December.

The Prime Minister believes he is within his rights to go back on previous agreements covering areas including borders, fishing rights and state aid.

That puts him on a collision course with the EU's chief Brexit negotiator, Michel Barnier, who has said the political declaration must be followed to the letter....

Some buying opportunities with great divi returns at these prices plus great capital growth once the world calms to realise that Covid is just another flu which is always around us in some form.
