Jemperli plus chemotherapy approved by US FDA as the first new frontline treatment option in decades for primary advanced or recurrent endometrial cancer. Jemperli is the only immuno-oncology treatment approved in the frontline setting for this patient population. Great result for GSK Oncology.

Chinese manufacturing continued to slump in July, but starting to move up.

The Manufacturing purchasing PMI is now 49.3, below 50 that separates expansion/contraction, but higher than June's 49.0 figure and better than forecasts.

Good news is that China has announced fresh measures to boost consumption with initiatives for light industry.

Rishi has backed plans for new fossil fuel drilling off Britain’s coast, saying he would be “pragmatic and proportionate” about reaching net zero ! Wow, didn't see that coming.

Government expected to approve the development of Rosebank, near Scotland’s Shetland Isles — believed to be the U.K.’s largest undeveloped oil and gas field — as well as other sites in the nearby North Sea imminently.

All in the name of UK energy security of course.

IMO great news for BP.

Entertaining article in IC echoing AAL view that long-term prospects for “future-enabling metals and minerals is ever more compelling”. Suggests waiting until China’s Manufacturing PMI index shows a sustained recovery, but by then, IMO it will be too late. PE 10, 4% yield, Buy. Quite agree.

Funny how the Chairmen of two of the most important banks in UK are run by establishment figures who appear to know nothing about banking ! One seems to know nothing about client confidentiality being a commandment written in stone, and actually backs CEO briefing personal data to BBC and the other happily announces disaster warnings regarding recession based on inflation forecasts that are so wrong that the bank is bringing in a 20 year retired yank to set things right. UK laughing stock of the world.

Who's a lucky girl ? Gnome tells me that Swiss banking laws would have seen her swept off her feet straight to jail or sanatorium, along with the reporter. Breaking banking/financial confidentiality is a serious crime.

Jakeanddelwood - thank you for your informed response. Complete speculation of course, but IMO the ICO must act not only to punish NWG but to set an example for all to see. Funnily enough, as you point out, HMG would then benefit financially from the presumably substantial fine.

Oh no. Tipped by Motley Fool. Either caused yesterdays malaise or sparked todays rise ...

Depends on whether you agree with the positive vibes from Citi or the negative dross from UBS. Citi expect a strong first quarter due to recent big price hikes, resulting in stronger than expected growth. The gnomes are fixated on free cash flow pressures possibly cutting divi in half. Hoping for the best ...

Jakeandelwood - thought you were kidding, NWG open to fine of 4 per cent of annual global turnover ? Pub confirms you are correct. Several hundred millions at risk if ICO proceeds ... Wonder if this possible liability will appear in Friday results ?

IMO Rerate awaits Zantac anchor cut away.

Sad day for UK when state owned bank debanks an opposition leader.

Wow, half expected concensus beaten but did not see increased future guidance. Should be a good day !

Few more to walk the plank ? Chairman, Coutts CEO, etc.

So do I, but sadly this has historically not lifted the sp. Hoping for best ...

IMO, expect another beating in press over weekend due to meaty profits made from NIM, where mortgage interest rates have taken off but savers rates have lagged. At least NWG won't be only bank affected. Can Rose survive this double whammy ?

Takeover speculation or read across from Vodafone ? Or both ?

Hate to say this guys, until told down the pub, I thought banks just checked twitface. Now know some banks check share chat sites ! So let me be the first and loudest Rose fan on the block. I think Rose should stay and deserves more pay. Hope this post is not too late ! Gulp Ironically, NWG are offering an excellent 2 year fixed cash ISA. Can I keep my account now ?

Hilarious cartoon by Alex in Telegraph today, featuring that well known bank Pootts. In brief, no more minutes !

10s of thousands of SARs incoming. Wouldn't have bothered Fred the Shred ...
