RT by @john4brexit: FYI, final UK #manufacturing PMI recovered to 47.2 in November, up from 44.8 in October... 🙂
Still below the 'neutral' 50 level, but the highest since April (and well above the eurozone average 👇)

RT by @john4brexit: "The UK economy no longer looks like an outlier to investors"
Great piece by Peder Beck-Friis (senior economist at Pimco), with a particularly good explanation of why the UK #inflation outlook is better than the headlines suggest👍

RT by @john4brexit: FYI, French #GDP was revised down today to a fall of 0.1% in Q3, compared to the initial estimate of 0.1% growth.
Not quite as bad as it sounds (distorted by swings in exports and inventories, follows growth of 0.6% in Q2), but still worse than expected.

Yes, but not all are. More people without productivity gain makes everyone poorer on average & means there are less essential services to go around eg NHS - it’s not rocket science

Why is the public sector so unproductive?- While productivity in the private sector has risen by around 30 per cent since 1997, in the public sector it has hardly risen at all. It can’t continue
