TWO of Britain’s oldest and best-known bread brands reckon they might make more dough if they combine their bakeries. Kingsmill owner Associated British Foods yesterday confirmed it was in talks with the owner of Hovis. Hovis, which is still known for its classic boy on a bike advert, traces its roots to 1886. It was bought by Endless, a turnaround firm, from Bisto-maker Premier Foods five years ago.

PROFITS at NatWest have jumped by a third with the bank’s return to privatisation looking weeks away. The Government’s stake in the bank, which was bailed out by taxpayers in the 2008 crisis, has fallen to below 2 per cent. At the current rate of share sales, it could be offloaded entirely by mid-summer. NatWest could also have the option to buy back the remaining Treasury shares itself.

THE boss of Currys has called on the Government to show it is serious about getting people back to work. Instead, he says, it is making employing staff “riskier, harder and more expensive”. Britain faces a worklessness crisis with three million on sickness benefits and a million young people not in education, training or employment.

☀️Morning! Friday’s @TheSun Business: Jaguar LandRover, Aston Martin, British Steel and Rolls Royce winners in US trade deal but for most British firms 10% is still worse than a few months ago. And huge uncertainty around global trade makes it harder to predict Bank rate cuts https://t.co/FNsSc7VQKk
That big $10 billion airline deal to buy US planes Trump trumpeted last night looks a lot like British Airways owner IAG’s announcement this morning to buy 53 new Airbus and Boeing planes. Shareholders will get a chance to vote on the plane deal…
Amazing gold bullion gets a mention as reason why UK has a trade surplus with US- in January alone £6.14 billion of gold was sent from UK to US (largely because investors wanted to get their hands on safe havens because Trump had made world so volatile)
