Andy Burnham to be given until midday tomorrow to agree to a deal with regards to lockdown otherwise the PM will intervene. Https://www.msn.com/en-gb/news/uknews/midday-deadline-for-greater-manchester-to-make-tier-3-lockdown-deal/ar-BB1absFA?ocid=msedgntp Burnham may as well eat a big dollop of humble pie otherwise a lockdown is coming whether he like it or not LOL. Stupid man is putting lives at risk with his demands. As the death toll rises and the hospitals get ever fuller he is losing sympathy by the second.

John Redwood@johnredwood57mThe Netherlands tells us to give in to the EU to help their exports to us. Let's instead grow more of our own food and trade more with rest of the world who do not want to stop us being independent as a requirement to trade.

Wales poised for total circuit breaker lockdown Https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-54591850 Bank of England warns the coronavirus is affecting the economy more than previously thought Https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-54594356 Hamleys is struggling it has been affected by a loss of tourists in its shop in London and is set to axe a quarter of its workforce. Its also put on hold the refurbishment of its shop meaning knock on affect for construction/building work https://www.theguardian.com/business/2020/oct/18/hamleys-toyshop-to-cut-more-than-a-quarter-of-london-staff Edinburgh Wool Mill owner Philip Day in race to thrash out a rescue deal which could mean closing down the EWM part of the business due to that part of the group being mid to late age group who are spending less. Its uncertain what will happen to other parts of the business, Austin Reed and Yeager may be sold off but Yeager is loss making but a good brand. Day also owns Jane Norman, Ponden Mill, and Peackocks. According to the press he wants to buy back Peackocks which does surprise me as the market for that store is completive but Day evidently sees value in the brand. Ponden Mill kind of stuff which includes sheets and towels is available in other outlets at completive prices so the outlook uncertain. It wouldn't surprise me if Mike Ashley looks to but Austin Reed and Yeager for his House of Fraser stores. According to the press over the weekend Mike Ashley is bidding to buy Debenhams his previous attempts failed and he had to write off his investment.

Hi robot, Shop closures are at a new record says the BBC, looks worse than the financial crisis in 2008 Https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-54572668 Undertakers are quite busy but losing out with social distancing meaning less receptions where they make extra money on commission and less cars needed for few people. Joe Public spending less on overall cost of funerals with less people going so more basic funerals. All this is depressing as robot has highlighted its more depressing when people lose their shirt on shares as well. The GOV still in dispute with Andy Burnham the idiot Mayor of Manchester, who wants to punish the public down south where they have less cases and is demanding a full UK lockdown. If cases still spiral upwards another UK lockdown may still happen. Its going to be a "bleak midwinter" as he the Christmas carol says and family gatherings will mean less for retailers as spending falls. There will be less Christmas crackers this year !
