“This is a solid set of results in challenging market conditions. We have delivered our largest half year profit in more than a decade and have announced a further £1.7bn in dividends to shareholders, of which more than £1bn will go directly to the UK taxpayer. Given the uncertain and competitive environment, we are focussed on the areas we can control; costs are down, capital and liquidity are strong and we continue to grow lending to the real economy.”
