The market is concerned over labour and material shortages as well as energy outages. The banking sector is not immune from the additional cost pressure- so the profitability of banks could be squeezed.

EU is still playing hard over access to the market. My gut tells me EU will go after UK's financial sector, especially after how vaccine rollout was done - UK first so EU first

Fossil fuel firms sue governments across the world for £13bn as climate policies threaten profits


Five energy companies, including British companies Rockhopper and Ascent, are using a legal process that allows commercial entities to sue governments under international laws governing trade agreements and treaties.

These corporate arbitration courts operate outside of a country's domestic legal system.

I think it's great that the drivers are getting some recognition for what they do, And long may this continue. Shift work, unsociable hours, away for 4-5 nights a week, massive rules/regs, highly skilled job, poor service station facilities, and rarely get decent food.

Now lorry drivers are offered £70,000-a-year and £2,000 'golden hellos' as agency recruiters working for desperate supermarkets are dispatched to greasy spoon cafés to lure truckers with 'astronomical' pay deals

The results still show restructuring charges, the Construction Enquirer reported on management changes to Kier London/Southern.

Why chase turnover, isn't it better to show shareholders K's current turnover hitting 3.5% margin? Anybody can secure work but how many contractors are hitting 3.5% margin? Too many inflationary pressures are facing construction sector - labour, materials lorry drivers, global shipping issues spike in energy cost and rationing of supplies.

Better to shrink turnover than be on the wrong side of the inflation squeeze?

In fact RR. is already up 4p this morning.

[maxidi] 16/9/2021 10:23

Dope.
Could be but RR. is quite a low price ATM so more room for profit I think.

Another cold war then, with China. What a laughable waste of resources.

I hope they held his HEAD up high, just his HEAD.

RR. might do very well out of this new Oz, US, UK, pact. Keeping an eye on the shares.
