A lot of UK stocks listed on LSE don't actually do much business on-shore. Rio Tinto mining would be a good example.

Are your UK stocks that are doing well domestic businesses?

There was a slight correction but they diversified into sofas and soft furnishings, which turned things around.

That would be the least of our problems. Unless you're one of the 4% that thinks HMG are doing a good job....

Can’t blame them. Between the clustermistake of Brexit, the financial mess, and the rise of the far right, it’s not surprising that foreign businesses are not investing here.
