Lloyds misses profit, partly blaming wealth business move

London — Lloyds Banking, Britain’s biggest mortgage lender, blamed the cost of compensating mis-sold insurance customers and moving its wealth business for a quarterly profit that missed forecasts.

“We are disappointed by the outcome but we accept it and we are moving on,’ CFO George Culmer said during a media call, refusing to give a specific number for the the break fee Lloyds will have to pay.The bank also has bills left to pay for its past misconduct. Lloyds posted a further £100m provision for customers who were mis-sold payment protection insurance. The scandal hit many UK banks, but Lloyds’s running total of £19.4bn by the end of 2018 makes it the biggest spender.

BUSINESS MAVERICK ANALYSIS: While probably at fault, Amcu is hardly alone in seeing a political agenda in moves to disband itThe Association of Mineworkers and Construction Union sees a political agenda in the labour department’s bid to deregister it. This may not be possible to prove, but it is an easy conclusion to reach. The union’s arch rival is the National Union of Mineworkers, a key ally of the ruling ANC that was founded by the current occupant of the Union Buildings.
