loss

After her own loss, Ms Mannings founded a charity, 2wish, to help those affected by the sudden or unexpected death of a child or young person.

"My father passed away when I was a teenager," she says, "and that kind of loss takes a long time to get your head around - even when you're in therapy and you're talking about it".

She added that the Angels must also compensate the family for “loss of companionship, solace, moral support and financial security.”

James Knightly, chief international economist at ING, said the beige book “suggests there has been a slight loss of momentum in activity over the past eight weeks.”

While some nuclear stocks spiked on the news, others swung to a loss.
