Now then there appears to be a dichotomy - in fact lots of em. The Prime Idiot reckons we are going to be the global Artificial Insemination superpower. mmmm. We were close to running out of power last week. Best tell the Super Idiot Ed the Loony to order a few more million wind mills and zillions of pylons. Also gonna be a tad tricky being a super industrial power with super expensive electricity. The more wind mills the more subsidies for us all to enjoy.
Best also have a word with the Ashton Slapper. Gonna be difficult assembling a world beating workforce when all the useless tools that sneak past the sifting process are entitled to full workers rights from day 1 and become a permanent part of the world beating workforce - which she will of course give full union rights and allow them full entitlement to work from home on a 3 day week.
Ravin will do her bit by ensuring that full taxation is due and any growth will be used to allow her to use as collateral to borrow more money to give to train drivers.
Focussed on being an industrial superpower we are. Lets see

Similar for me , no quotes to buy or sell.

HSD not working for me this morning.
No online quotes to buy or sell. Negotiated only.

For £10/trade this is very poor.

Anyone else found a problem?

If you quote from the DE you should read a bit deeper. Or read the story in a different source for confirmation. Surprised at you there GNR. Schoolboy error

Donald Trump refuses to invite Keir Starmer to inauguration in major snub

This is really not statesman like! What ever we say about Starmer, he is our Prime Minister. Trump is snubbing all of us!

[hardup1] 13/1/2025 17:53

Now we know who's running the UK and it's not Keir Starmer, Rachel Reeves or Angela Rayner

Only jail?

They deserve being lashed into submission. Then salted for good measure before being trebuchet'd into the English channel.

A while back A1 was an accolade Top notch.
Now AI is an answering system that never , seemingly, has the answer to anything at HMRC, E Bay, Amazon.
Kneel clearly swayed by ET. Has he met? or just Desperate Dan from the "Dandy" Will he eat cow pie?
No long now kneel the plot was never really planned in opposition - just straws - and not Jack Straws - and the cornettoes have melted.

Lib Dems call for emergency meeting with banks to reassure mortgage holders
As the cost of government borrowing continues to go up, with 30-year bond yields at a near-30-year high, the Liberal Democrats are calling on the chancellor to hold an emergency summit with banks to reassure mortgage holders that they won’t see a major spike in their mortgage costs.

It comes as experts warn that mortgage rates may rise in the coming weeks, as lenders respond to the turmoil in the bond market.

Expectations of interest rate cuts from the Bank of England are also being scaled back, with the pound sliding to a fresh 14-month low against the dollar today. This is because the dollar is powering ahead against most major currencies, including the euro, with recent data underscoring the strength of the US economy.

Liberal Democrat Treasury spokesperson, Daisy Cooper, said:

The chancellor’s budget has not worked and now many will be worried that they will have to pay the price through spiralling mortgage costs.
After years of Conservative economic vandalism including their disastrous mini-budget, it is a price that many cannot afford.
An emergency summit with the banks must be convened so that mortgage payers can be reassured that they are not going to be subjected to yet another bout of spiralling costs.
Rachel Reeves can no longer sit on her hands as this turmoil threatens to have real consequences for millions of homeowners.

William PriceStarmer refused to answer whether Rachel Reeves would be Chancellor throughout this parliament......perhaps he's become aware of the revelation on LinkedIn by Kev Gillett, a director of HBOS while Reeves worked there:-."Can my network pls share this factual story. Back in 2009 Rt Hon Rachel Reeves worked 3 levels below me. Just facts. She was a Complaints Support Manager at LBG/HBOS. Not an Economist. hashtag#factcheck.Nearly got sacked due to an expenses scandal where the 3 senior managers were all signing off each others expenses. Narrow escape.Then had lots of doctors/dentists visits. So she was followed. Turns out she was doing labour council business. When shown the facts. She resigned. hashtag#facts."Perhaps he's also aware of the removal of her Parliamentary credit card for 'misuse' when she was just an MP but maybe not aware that lying on your CV, cheating on expenses and stealing time from your employer would get a person fired in the private sector....Daily Telegraph ......keep spreading.

Deputy Thicko has been told that there will be a rush to shed staff ahead of her master plan to give useless workers full rights from day one. Who would have thought that?

Best buy thousands more Chinese windmills then. Ravin Rache maybe did a deal with Xi at the weekend. Buy 10 EVs get a windmill free. Maybe thats the 600m trade deal. They are selling us 600m of wind machines if they are allowed to develop our AI. Shes barmy enough.

Since they have already closed loads of branches I doubt it will make much of a difference to the number of closures.
It's also a bit late if it as attempt to retain customers moving their accounts due to their local branches already having been closed.
Like many people I haven't been inside a branch for years, but for elderly people who aren't as comfortable doing everything digitaly (or are unable to) and businesses who still have to deal with cheques the lack of physical branches is an issue. (Note saying that you can pay in cheques using an app isn't viable for businesses for various reasons - including the low limit on the number of cheques that can be proccessed via the app ina month)
