UK retail sales fall more than expected despite online splurge, as the public finances record the first January deficit in 10 years; sterling hits $1.40 for first time in nearly three years

The UK downturn was less bad than feared in February, the flash PMI reading from IHS Markit/CIPS suggests. Its composite index, which comprises manufacturing and services, jumped to 49.8 from 41.2 in January, just below the 50 mark that divides expansion from contraction. Services firms fared better, despite the Covid-19 lockdown, while manufacturers were hit by Brexit which has made it harder to export. Flash UK Composite Output Index Feb: 49.

It’s January…and it’s lockdown… Spain imposed a very strict lockdown and made masks mandatory (even outdoors). Despite this the number of Spanish cases rose sharply in October. Mandatory social distancing/mask wearing does not work. Boris's coronavirus restrictions are destroying the economy and our freedoms. Erm.... they’re all closed, right?
