Don't be too despondent. There will always be stories in sectors to focus on, but the UK is doing significantly better than over the water in terms of manufacturing at the moment. Germany and the Eurozone in contraction.

UK still, just about growing..Tough times ahead for us all perhaps, though

The big impact in the PMI is the SDT which has collapsed. Orders & production are there but everyone is carrying too much inventory because it’s being held due to critical shortages. The waiting time on some cars is forecast at 15 months
