Biz, britbong here.
I currently have a few hundred pounds going into a savings account every month but rather than having it sit there I want to start trading stock with it. Can anyone recommend me any brokers? I'm interested in some mid to long term investments. Also any general advice when picking a broker.

For fucks sake don't just buy stocks willy nilly.
Literally just dump your savings into a vanguard fund for the next 30 years. A simple fucking google search will show you this.

That sounds boring as fuck, i want to actually do something. I don't mind if its not 3 billion % returns

Also they're structured in the US, im pretty sure Trumps gonna dick all over whatever market advantage that gives them.

Bruh a Vanguard s&p fund will net you much more than trying to guess on what sexy stock of the day is going up 100%.
Why even come here if you won't listen to the fucking advice?

He means Euro
Still, tracker funds are solid advice. Ever heard of the "3 fund portfolio"? It's a domestic all-market tracker, a rest-of-world all-market tracker, and a domestic bond fund. That's it.
If you just want to have fun and pick stocks, please be aware that with the three-digit sums you're talking, dealing and platform fees are likely to eclipse any gains you make. Regular investment into funds is generally the cheapest option (but fun funds do exist). Look at places like hargreaves lansdown and iii.com.

As far as I know, you're kinda fucked for stock. Your Stamp Duty tax will screw you out of most of your profits, because it's based on the value of your buy (or sell, I can't remember which), rather than your profit on the trade.It's the same thing that batshit crazy loon Sanders tried to do here, except he wanted to make it double what you guys pay.
This is also why most Brits who trade do so with CFD's instead of stock.
