The pall of glum uncertainty hanging over the UK is unlikely to disperse until the big budget reveal on November 26th - and that's assuming that a) chancellor Rachel Reeves can get it to stick, and b) that it doesn't do too much damage to the UK economy. And yet, despite everything, UK stocks still have a certain appeal. Why? Firstly, they're cheap relative to wider markets, particularly the US, which means there's a margin of safety. Secondly, listed UK companies are buying back their own shares at an extraordinary rate, which means diminishing supply. More on all this in today's Money Distilled. https://lnkd.in/eS3YnsdT

Yesterday, our CEO, Caroline Bragg, joined Ian Collins on TalkTV during the Conservative Party Conference to discuss recent comments around net zero, including Kemi Badenoch’s suggestion to repeal the Climate Change Act. Recent shocks such as the crisis in Ukraine saw energy bills rise by 74% and are a stark reminder of the volatility of our energy system. As Caroline highlighted the big question is protecting people from this volatility in the future and providing a stable environment for the long-term investment required during the transition to net zero. The Act has given businesses the stability to plan, invest and innovate in decarbonisation. 🏭 From energy security to global competitiveness, it is crucial that we maintain course for net zero without undermining progress.

Scotland’s space sector reaches a key milestone today as Skyrora Ltd, with its headquarters in Scotland, becomes the first UK-based business to get a launch licence from the Civil Aviation Authority. This brings the prospect of a Scottish built rocket launching from a Scottish spaceport one step closer, with preparations continuing at pace for take-off. Scottish Enterprise has helped support Skyrora’s international growth plans over the years as part of a growing number of over 200 space companies in Scotland. The fast pace of the space sector offers huge potential for businesses to scale, innovate and enter international markets. Scotland’s ambition is to capture a £4 billion global market share by 2030 across areas from data to manufacturing, ultimately creating new high-quality jobs and economic prosperity for communities across the country. We’re working closely with the The Scottish Government and Space Scotland, as well as Highlands and Islands Enterprise, to make sure the space ecosystem is ready for this landmark first launch. When the first vehicle lifts off from Scotland it will demonstrate the end-to-end capabilities we have for satellite design, manufacture, launch and data exploitation. It’s an exciting prospect to have the first licenced Scottish rocket manufacturing company with the ability to launch from Scotland. It also marks a significant step in our innovation ambition to be a leading space nation. We back ambition.
