]]> UK growth pains, our 40th and testimonials https://www.miltonpj.net/2025/09/19/uk-growth-struggles-as-chancellor-does/ Fri, 19 Sep 2025 09:00:00 +0000 https://www.miltonpj.net/?p=12009 Oh dear, so the latest UK economics’ figures for the month suggest there was zero growth (and also August’s government borrowing was higher than expected as well).

]]> New Year rally https://www.miltonpj.net/2023/01/19/new-year-rally-despite-forecast/ Thu, 19 Jan 2023 13:36:25 +0000 https://www.miltonpj.net/?p=10407 Well, welcome to the highest ever levels for the FTSE100, what a pleasant ‘Father Christmas’ (well New Year) rally.
