Is this a Stocks and Shares broker

Yes, though it mainly concentrates on derivatives, so you might find it more limited than a broker concentrating on shares (no DRIP etc.) 

I can't find a decent one, another one where I have an account is so abysmal, it defies belief they exist

All I am trying to do is continue investing, but my other broker that I have a steady account is merging and charging £10 per month just for having an account

It depends what you want, the lack of flashy options doesn't bother me overly much, and I've never really had any problem doing what I wanted to do. Dividends have occasionally been a bit tardy to come through, but they've always appeared eventually. However, if customer service is important to you, I really can't recommend IG. Fortunately, I've never needed their help, but a short look through these forums will reveal a lot of people that have major trouble getting a response to their queries .

Overall, short of the free services there won't be many that are cheaper than IG. The service is basic, but it does what's it's supposed to. I was somewhat concerned over IG's handling of the latest GME/AMC shenanigans, but to be fair to IG that may well be down to my own (possibly unrealistic) expectations of how these situations should be handled. There has been some problems with the platform over the last few days, but again such issues are less critical to share investors than they are to CFD/SB traders.

    • Market Breakdown | WTI Oil, EURUSD, GBPNZD, EURAUDHere are the updates & outlook for multiple instruments in my watchlist.1️⃣ WTI Oil daily time frame️The market is trading in a long term bearish trend .After the last sharp bearish movement, the market is steadily recovering.Ahead, I see a major horizontal supply area.Probabilities are high, that the next bearish wave will initiate from there.2️⃣ EURUSD daily time frameAfter a breakout of a solid daily resistance, the market is preparing for its retest.Watch carefully the underlined zone and look for buying opportunities from there.3️⃣ EURAUD weekly time frameThe pair is currently approaching a weekly horizontal resistance cluster.Taking into consideration, that the pair is quite overbought, probabilities will be high to see a pullback from that4️⃣ GBPNZD daily time frameThe pair is currently retesting a broken neckline of an ascending triangle . As we discussed earlier, the trend line of a triangle and its neckline compose a contracting buy zone now.Chances will be high that the next bullish wave will initiate quite soon.For Additional confirmation use: Divergence Indicators
    • #CHFJPY: Classic Bearish Setup 🇨🇭🇯🇵   🔻CHFJPY has nicely respected a confluence zone based on a horizontal 4H resistance and a 0.5 retracement of the last bearish impulse.   The price formed a double top pattern on that and broke its neckline.   Probabilities will be high that the pair will drop lower soon. Goals: 141.172 / 140.363
