1. The economy
You’ve got to start here. Uncharted territory? Well we’ve had recessions (and depressions) before...

It looks like it’s official -the UK is headed into recession. Sky News report here that official figures show the UK economy shrunk by 0.5% between July and September. I don’t think many people would argue these stats are not a decent reflection on how the economy has been over the last few...

Don’t know about you, but I generally like a quick scan of Prufrock at the back of The Sunday Times Business section. It doesn’t take itself too seriously and isn’t afraid to poke a little fun at one or two people who are filling the columns in the broadsheets. Today’s cartoon...

Its been a heck of a week for the banking sector. There wasn’t much room for respite between the Lehman’s news and the HBOS/ Lloyds TSB deal. One thing is for sure, if there is one sector that could do with some good news, its banking.
No blog posts for me for a couple of weeks. Been taking...

It seems to be getting tougher to avoid bad economic news - every time I turn on the TV there’s either more doom, gloom or tips on how to save money. Its been a heck of a long time since we’ve had this sort of scenario in the UK.

Link above is to an article quoting recent research in UK consumer buying behaviour. There’s quite a few of these flying around the web at the moment. Crux of it is as follows: we aren’t...

OK, so after a couple of months of rumours, Bradford and Bingley emerge as the latest victim of the credit crunch and you don’t have to work very hard to find yet more bad news on the economic horizon (but hey in the information age, or should that be the Google age (?) do you ever have to work...
