I would think there'd be a fair few job losses too.

No it's not £6bn to Lloyd's. It's £6bn of liabilities and some corresponding assets. It's structured as a reinsurance transaction until the policies can be reassigned under a Part VII transfer process.

Whenever the share price drops inexplicably I always comfort myself by believing that the drop is "shaking out the sellers and stop losses" prior to a big rise. I'm always wrong but that's what I tell myself!

So after a decent rise this morning why the sell off in the banks? 🤔

[optomistic] 13/3/2024 12:27

Nothing to be seen? apart from 18BT's post.

[jordaggy] 13/3/2024 12:24

Is it a zero sum exchange?

[optomistic] 13/3/2024 12:23

Scottish Widows cashed in £6bln...will this be returned to shareholders?

[car1pet] 13/3/2024 12:18

Is it time to sell down almost 1% this morning?

[blackhorse23] 13/3/2024 12:04

Added metro bank today

Utrick,

UK should follow suit with similar imo.

[18bt] 13/3/2024 11:55

Interesting non-reg announcement that Scottish Widows has effectively pulled out of the Bulk Annuity market by selling its £6bn portfolio to Rothesay. Glad LBG is putting a bit more focus into its sprawling business

[geckotheglorious] 13/3/2024 11:31

Brass is far cheaper.
Illegals entering UK on false pretences should be shown no mercy.

Only need to set an example once. MSM/ Tik Tok will soon get the message out globally for all these parasitical chancers to F O.

[hardup1] 13/3/2024 11:03

I remember when the share price got as high as 55p in January/February 2022. How many then thought it would never go below 50p again? I did!

[hardup1] 13/3/2024 11:01

Please define "soon"?

Russia releases VIDEO of failed Ukrainian incursion attempt.

Two attacks on border regions have been repelled, the Defense Ministry has said.


Videos demonstrating the aftermath of failed Ukrainian incursions into Belgorod Region were published by the Russian Defense Ministry on Tuesday.

Several raids into the Belgorod and neighboring Kursk regions were launched by Kiev’s forces earlier the same day. All the attacks were repelled by the Russian military and border guards, the ministry said, saying that Ukrainian troops had failed to break through.

Footage put out by the ministry shows what appears to be heavy armor abandoned by the attackers. One clip shows what appears to be a Soviet-made T-72 tank equipped with reactive armor that was abandoned by Ukrainian forces near a Russian border checkpoint. The vehicle is shown sitting in the middle of a road with its chassis severely damaged and thick smoke pouring from its hull. The tank’s hatches are open and its crew is nowhere to be seen.

Another clip shows two pieces of armor stationary in a field. It is unclear what kind of heavy equipment is shown in the video. The defense ministry said that the Ukrainian troops taking part in the attack were supported by several US-made armored vehicles, which were destroyed by Russian forces. The video was shot near another Russian border crossing, it added.


Earlier in the day, the ministry said that Kiev’s forces lost up to 60 servicemen, five tanks, and one armored combat vehicle in the failed attack on Belgorod Region. The attackers were repulsed using missiles, artillery, and aviation, it added.

In Kursk Region, Ukrainian sabotage and reconnaissance groups also sought to breach the Russian border but were forced to retreat after suffering heavy losses, the ministry stated.


Tuesday’s attacks were the latest attempts by Ukrainian forces to break through the Russian border over the past few days. All such assaults have been repelled, according to the Russian military and security services.

According to the Russian Federal Security Service (FSB), since March 10, Kiev has lost over 100 servicemen, six tanks, a French Caesar artillery system, and 20 armored vehicles in such assaults.
