Brewery and pub giant Marston's has revealed plans to cut about 2,150 jobs because of the ongoing impact of the Covid-19 pandemic.

The Wolverhampton-headquartered company's chief executive Ralph Findlay said the move was an "inevitable consequence of the limitations placed upon our business".

??JD Wetherspoon and Carnival shares: is now the time to buy ahead of a second lockdown?Thomas Carr13 October 2020, 10:05?Image of person checking their shares portfolio on mobile phone and computerInvestors in JD Wetherspoon (LSE: JDW) and Carnival (CCL) shares have already had a year to forget. Now, with some of the country poised for tighter lockdown restrictions - akin to a second lockdown for millions of people - things look like they're about to get even worse.Tighter restrictions mean that pubs will now close in the highest-risk areas. Nobody knows how long these restrictions will last. Likewise, with Covid cases escalating rapidly in most of Europe, companies that rely on travel look set for a prolonged bout of misery. There are now very few places abroad that UK citizens can travel to freely.While this undoubtedly affects a great many companies, Wetherspoon and Carnival could be impacted immediately. If I held either of these two FTSE 250 shares, I reckon I'd sell out now and invest in something that would help me sleep a bit better at night.Last ordersWetherspoon was quick to reopen after the initial lockdown closed all of its pubs back in March. By the end of August, more than 95% of its pubs had reopened. But not even Rishi Sunak's Eat Out to Help Out scheme was enough to maintain revenues at last year's levels. From the beginning of July to mid-August, like-for-like sales were 17% below the prior year.Following lengthy pub closures and the erosion of profit margins, the company expects to make a loss for this year. That's not exactly surprising. But Wetherspoon's shares still look overpriced, in my opinion. The shares trade at 16 times last year's earnings, a period that was unaffected by Covid. That wouldn't be cheap in a normal year. New restrictions mean the group will remain unprofitable for longer and will take longer to recover. In my mind, that's still not reflected in the Wetherspoon share price.

Rory was the best they asked him if he was still a tory the other day and he didn't answer .He was in the Labour Party in his younger days with Starmer in you never know .

Maybe they should bring in no ships Grayling hes the best of a bad bunch lol .Wait until the no deal brexit comes in this chaos will seem like a picnic .

My view is that 'Big Tim' will be the long term winner in respect of the pub industry.

I feel very sorry for the small guy with a pub that only has a 'booze' license.

Boris has thrown these fellows under a bus while he has been busy with his Russian violinist.

Tim comes out butter side up again

So, small family run pubs in Liverpool will have to close if they don't offer food while Weatherspoons can stay open providing you buy a plate of chips..

May was semi competent - not Abbott.

[konradpuss] 12/10/2020 20:53

Diane Abbott, cometh the moment cometh the man? err! woman!

I think we could still find a decent leader in the Conservative party - Bring back May!

At least she was semi competent.

Raab is a good man and currently very quiet. Probably waiting until a leadership contest when he can say he had very little to do with the current 'car crash',

[johnwise] 12/10/2020 20:51

How are the good folk of Liverpool going to manage without betting shops?

[johnwise] 12/10/2020 20:45

Hardly labours fault lol

Johnson is incompetent and afraid of his own shadow. In such dire times the UK needs a true leader like Diane Abbott

[gozzie2] 12/10/2020 20:31

Its actually areas where there are plenty of people and not like Devon and Cornwall where there are more sheep lol .
