And we are shelling out £10-15 billion in membership fees.


Good deal huh?

EI, I agree with your thoughts on banks being on the hook for some of the economic carnage coming our way. That is why I think dividends being reinstated early next year is not a given. As millions lose their jobs and thousands of businesses go bust the optics of shareholders hoovering up fat dividend cheques will be one the Politicians and Regulator will want to be seen to be stopping.

Banks will be told to use spare capital to help the economy is my guess.

chav,

who is they? You are espousing poor pension advice then blaming 'them' without any justification. I'd be happy to consider 'their' financial genius. When you're ready.

portside

Income tax should be put up by 3p, perhaps, but not very Kaynes is it?

Tax on football should go up on all wages by 5%, would never agree to tax rates bby profession. That's nuts.

All loop holes should be made illegal . Also nuts by definition. If its a loophole, it's legal, that's why it's called a loophole. Retrospective law a big no no.

beer cut by 25%. Not for supermarkets. Would agree to lower pub prices, but at £1.25 at worthy, what you complaining about? London prices are less to do with tax and more with what idiots willing to pay. Designer (hahahhaa) beer, that's your choice. I agree really, less pub taxes.

Vat at 5%. Yeah right, Amazon really needs help exporting more profits to America and paying no tax here. Vat is just about the only tax we can get on large companies.

All take away food 20%. WTF?

All online 20%. Yeah, you got there. What would Argus charge for click and collect? You'd be better reforming business rates so that out of town have less advantage over high street.

Rory Stewart, that is.

When delinquencies on these government backed loans explode,
watch to see the heat on UK banks being ratcheted up,
with questions of due diligence raised and faux outrage from politicians.

What's the betting UK banks end up on the hook for some of this?,
and if anyone thinks that just cannot happen, perhaps think again imv.

[gaffer73] 15/7/2020 23:33

Hate to admit it port but you make more sense every day!

[minerve 2] 15/7/2020 23:25

Perhaps there should be an inquiry into why our PM cannot give an answer to a question.

Or why so many people thought a compulsive liar was going to make a good leader.

[jimarilo] 15/7/2020 23:13

Julian Lewis gets the elbow .......lmfao

[diku] 15/7/2020 22:49

When there is free money out there no doubt there will be opportunists out there...you have only got to have a look at the amount of O trades (Private Investors) going through the Plc casino market shares...where is all this money coming from?...no recession out there...

[minerve 2] 15/7/2020 22:01

I wish that Rory Stewart was still a MP as, given his calm and intelligent manner, varied experience and wide contacts, he would have been an excellent Chair.

[minerve 2] 15/7/2020 22:00

Russian report is.......

ON ITS WAY!


LOL!

[minerve 2] 15/7/2020 21:58

And the disgusting government removes the whip from Julian Lewis. They are really trying to suppress that Russian report.

[minerve 2] 15/7/2020 21:58

Lewis deserves a knighthood for this. Seriously, this is a question of national security.

[minerve 2] 15/7/2020 21:56

Failing Grayling loses vote rigged in his favour.


LOL!
