I'm in the premier inn at Ayr racecourse....looking forward to a lovely pint of Tennants, if that's not going to tempt one to start dry January nothing will!

Fkall to do with Nigel, if we'd stayed in we'd be liable for every scabby chancer who'd done their 5yrs and was free to go wherever they wanted with a schengen visa....any more bright ideas Careful?

It was a bad election to win.
UK PLC has many problems.

Increasing the tax take by 4%(£40bn) went down badly in the press.
It was obvious they feared the bond markets and were boxed in by their stupid manifesto pledge not to raise income taxes.

The way the press reports the plight of a boat people, the implication that in some way it is our fault when some young passengers die.

Stopping rubber boats crossing the channel should be easy but the so called border force, often boasted about during the election by Labour, just offer a taxi service to our shores.
To Human rights lawyers it is a gift. Starmer is one himself.
The implication of the border force was that it would keep illegals out, not help them in.

Similarly the UKIP and Brexit pledge to control our borders was a vote winner. It meant in practice that we were free to let as many in as we wished.
The rubber boats are manufactured and stored in Germany. It is not illegal because it assists illegals to leave the EU. and to reach a non EU country (UK).
Thanks Nigel, any more bright ideas?

Careful. Well well. It must be a new year. My sentiments too. This lot are a bit too numb I suspect but they can't be as useless as they were in the first 6 months - can they? Don't want em to do too well though or they may get another term.

"Yet again the choice will be Europe or America"
Europe will cost us our 12 mile fishing rights.
America will cost us tariffs.
Our FDI is best invested in the commonwealth where the GDP is projected to reach $20 trillion by 2029.

And this has to do with Lloyds how?

[careful] 02/1/2025 15:58

How will Starmer get on with Trump.

Boris would have rolled over and obeyed orders, taking back control always meant surrendering to America.

Yet agin the choice will be Europe or America.
Starmer will have to stand up to Trump his back benchers will insist.

An interesting year ahead.
Farage will be ignored by the Labour government.

Happy New Year one and all...

2025 going to be a cracker I suspect.

so much that could go wrong will go wrong under the inept tenure of the Liebour party and their bunch of over promoted halfwits

Some are gullible and too forgiving...Labour have closed surgeries and pharmacies and factories...Get Real.

2025 could be a great year for the UK if we worked alongside the USA as it embarks on its policy of 3% growth. It will be another disappointing year if government here remains bogged down in futile negotiations with the EU as they struggle to get to 1% growth. The UK seems to be  looking  for more ways to run up big bills by giving more money to foreign governments and institutions. Today Chagos and the World Health organisation, tomorrow the EU are supplicants . If we do more of this it will confine us to the slow lane and the government to continuing unpopularity...John Redwood

Normally, the Memorandum & Articles specify for such eventuality eg the shares need to be offered to the other director first.. if not they can sell to whoever they want to! It's their share ultimately.

6 month report
Bond yields are down and market up today.

Maybe the UK economy will do well after a shaky start.

I like the idea of public sector pay rises only on the condition that they sacrifice some of their fat pension rights.

Labour will have to tackle issues that the Tories refused to.

They will have learned from the shambles of the first 6 months (we hope), and dare not hammer business again.

There is hope, it is early days.
The worm will turn.

Diversity bit does. Equality and Inclusion only applies to lefty wokies. The rest are ignored, taxed or/and jailed

Hello, just struggling with a university question, any help would be much appreciated!
Where a large corporation has offered to buy all the shares of another company (x). 2/3 directors of x are for the sale, 1 is not. What mechanisms are available to protect his rights as a minority shareholder. (It does only specify these 3 no more shareholders!)

Thanks scruff. I am with Charles Stanley direct and whilst I can get sell or buy quotes, they don't have a monitor showing live prices in one screen.ADVFN want to say they have so many subscribers. However After quite some time as a member here, I am looking to close my account permanently, so I don't help with the numbers.Good luck to everyone here. I will still catch up on news on the LSE website.

[scruff1] 02/1/2025 13:09

Surely you platform provider does.

[utrickytrees] 02/1/2025 12:02

Sounds about right lafrene.

Another 400m shares allotted to the management! This is to whom buybacks are beneficial..... for the management to conceal the extent of shares they allot to themselves!

ADVFN have put a delay on real time prices unless you take out a silver subscription. This came into effect from yesterday.Can anyone recommend another provider who lets you monitor real time prices please.

[fletcher270] 02/1/2025 11:23

I agree it's more about anything else rather than Lloyds
