Any one who supports IDS and the current Tory government deserves a place in hell.

Poikka

Oh no, I do wish Brexit generation die painful deaths soon. That hasn't changed. The fact I chat with you doesn't alter my view.

You have willingly voted pain and suffering on others. I only wish it. You enact it. Big difference.

It is up to you whether you take it personally or not.

This will disappoint some here.

(Alliance News) - The UK services sector showed signs of stabilising in December, according to data from IHS Markit on Monday.

The IHS Markit-Chartered Institute of Procurement & Supply services purchasing managers' index rose to 50.0 in December from 49.3 in November. This marked stabilisation in the sector, with the latest reading bang on the no-change mark of 50 and above the earlier flash estimate of 49.0.

The services sector was helped by a return to improving order books, with the sharpest rise in new work recorded since July.

Some firms surveyed reported an uplift in activity from improved underlying demand at the end of 2019. Meanwhile, those reporting a drop in output generally cited headwinds from delayed spending decisions ahead of the UK general election, which took place mid-December.

There was a rebound in business optimism to the highest level since September 2018, with a number of respondents anticipating a short-term activity boost when the first stage of Brexit is resolved.

"The modest rebound in new work provides another signal that business conditions should begin to improve in the coming months, helped by a boost to business sentiment from greater Brexit clarity and a more predictable political landscape," said Tim Moore, economics associate director at IHS Markit.

Ref CEO and exec pay:

They should pay themselves all the money and all the profits and then watch their sales fall. LOL

[mitchy] 06/1/2020 10:32

I guess the market's going to be flat ,at best, whilst there be rumblings in the middle east.Could go on for months or even years.

[diku] 06/1/2020 09:46

They are under paid...should pay themselves even more...

[diku] 06/1/2020 09:40

Money money money...its a rich mans law...




Fatcat bosses will have earned more by the end of today than an ordinary worker will all year.

The shock gap with rank-and-file staff means a typical CEO rakes in the average staff salary in just three working days.

FTSE 100 chiefs get the equivalent of £901 an hour, against £14.37 an hour for a full-time employee, the Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development and the High Pay Centre think-tank data shows.

The figures come as big firms are being forced to reveal for the first time the pay divide

………;...………………...at which point I had an internet outage!

[mr.elbee] 06/1/2020 09:19

Well cyber attacks are another reason for public bodies minimising the use of computers.

But before all the trekkies rush to print accusing me of extreme philistinism, many serious computer buffs believe that the fad for digitisation has gone too far and is potentially dangerous..

So reel in it in!

Then the vulnerability will be less.

It aint too difficult,paper is a marvellous invention you know and a damn sight more secure than all of this digital malarkey.

There's a good chance that Iran will retaliate with cyber attacks.

Here's an interesting snippet I noticed this morning.

"The LSE has been contacted (by UK authorities) in the past two months for additional information about the outage (last summer)."

Didn't last long, did it folks. Were they a victim of ransomware? Did they cough-up smartly? Am I just being my sceptical self?
