UK Employment Hits Record High
"The share of the population in work is the highest on record," said David Freeman, ONS head of labour market.
"The share of the workforce looking for work and unable to find it remains at its lowest for over 40 years."
Average earnings excluding bonuses increased by 3.3% in the year to November, as wage rises continued to outpace inflation.

Inflation Falls To Lowest Rate in Two Years
The Consumer Prices Index including owner occupiers’ housing costs (CPIH) 12-month inflation rate was 2.0% in December 2018, down from 2.2% in November 2018.
The largest downward contributions to change in the 12-month rate came from falls in petrol prices and from air fares, where ticket prices rose between November and December 2018, but by less than a year ago.
Given this and the ongoing Brexit uncertainty there is no way that the Bank of England will raise rates.

America The Stupid - The Huawei Idiocy "Tactic"
This seems like a bad idea pic.twitter.com/ujwAjBByZo— Eric Gomez (@EricGomezAsia) December 6, 2018
In the event that America is thick enough to pursue this "tactic", they will find PDQ that many American executives currently in China and related territories will be placed under arrest on all sorts of charges.
This is a policy destined to not only fail, but make things worse!

O2 Has Crashed
Millions of customers are believed to have been affected in the data blackout, which is also impacting customers of Sky Mobile, Tesco Mobile, Giffgaff and Lycamobile who use O2's service.
China Will Retaliate For Huawei
As I noted earlier today, Huawei is regarded as a security risk (because it is Chinese) and as such part of the "Great Game" being played out between the USA and China for global dominance. Hence, there will be Chinese countermeasures for this.
