The good news:
UK's #services #experts are one of the few areas where the economy is still clearly successful;
the bad news: increased domination of #London in providing those services further undermines any attempt to resolve the problem of the UK's problem of regional under-development.
And again, while its good that this success relies less on the #financialservices sector than it used to, centralised London-centric activity still drives #inequality.
