M&S report another good Xmas turnover food sales up by 8.9%. And considering their so expensive is a good indication theres still plenty of funds about.

It seems you and your mate have guardian mod gully.

If there really is lots of money about that's good news ( although a risk of inflation so bank rates may have to be tightened). It should also mean won't get any public sector/ train drivers staff pay disputes and strikes. And the tax from VAT will roll in and some of the huge government debt will be repaid.

Food sales were up by a decent amount but clothes sales by not a lot and they are primarily a clothes shop.  The boss of M&S has come out and said Reeves needs to stop using the retail sector as a piggy bank as the idea was  "ill-thought through", his words not mine.

M&S shares down by 5.3% "as the company anticipates a tougher year ahead, as customers potentially retrench in light of higher for longer interest rates and the possibility of higher goods prices following the measures announced in the budget"

Maybe some shoppers are buying now while they can before they lose their jobs in Spring when the employer NI changes kick in

NMA 07.21"Some of the huge government debts will be repaid"    I will take it you mean the huge government debts i/e £22 billion Labour inherited from the previous Con Govt.

[newmodarmy]

I was thinking  moreover the real national debt of £2.7trillion which seems to be growing rather than the fictional £22 billion black hole ( which nicebloke told us yesterday has already been filled thanks to Keir's management).

[newmodarmy]

more of not moreover 

[davebro3]

Assuming a 22bn "black hole" existed it was unfunded spending commitments NOT a debt. Labour are in the process of vastly increasing the UK debt in the hope that the borrowing will somehow revive the economy, but it is more likely they will fritter it away on more bureaucracy, unwarranted pay rises (for some) and increased interest payments.

[newmodarmy]

Maybe some of us including me, are forgetting this is chatterbank, the home of natter and nonsense, not a place to discuss politics and news.

That's all the question was...natter and nonsense. We should respond in kind.
