► Episode Notes:

Who’s birthday is it this week? Find out on this week’s PlayingFTSE Show!

Steve and Steve have been mad busy this week. One of them has been staring at a pile of exam papers on Aesthetics, the other has been stuck doing his civic duty.

Both are in to talk about the latest news, though. It’s been quite a week for the UK and we wouldn’t miss it for the world.

The Labour Party’s manifesto is an interesting document. There’s lots to think about, but one question is how much of it they’re actually in a position to deliver on.

Steve W has some strong views on a potential windfall tax on oil and gas companies, and Steve D is interested in housing. What else is on the cards if there’s a change of government on the way?

Inflation in the UK hit 2% this week, but there’s plenty below the surface for investors to keep an eye on. Core inflation is still high and prices are still up a long way from where they were in 2020.

Interest rates aren’t coming down yet. But that isn’t stopping the housing market, which is back to all time highs, despite prices going up below the rate of core inflation…

The Liberal Democrats have a manifesto for this election and there’s a lot to like in it. It’s not just a watered-down version of Labour’s policy document, there’s plenty that makes a lot of sense.

Does any of it matter, though? With the party trailing badly in the polls, is there any reason to vote for them given that their intentions do look strikingly similar to those of another party with better odds?

It’s time for another look at B&M European Value. The FTSE 100 retailer is down 25% since Steve W thought it looked like decent value at the start of the year.

The business is performing well, though. So could a rising dividend yield be an opportunity for a company with some of the lowest costs in the industry?
