Is a small interest rate cut as inflation falls good news? The Express isn't sure...

The Express simply cannot be seen to be giving Labour the slightest of credit for anything.
The economy could be booming, inflation and interest rates fall to near zero and they'd moan about savers getting hit.

Bad news:-

Retail sales fall as Black Friday deals fail to lure shoppers​

I actually think this should have been written as:

Retail sales fall as shoppers starting to realise that Black Friday deals are largely made up rubbish to get you to spend money on Black Friday which seems to last for at least a week.

 

[First Aspect]

Black Friday is the day lots of goods fall back to more or less the price they were earlier in the year.

I did actually get two bargains this year. A camera filter at 60% off normal pricing (and who knows how much off RRP) and AA cover at 50% off.

I saved a huge amount by not buying any Black Friday bargains this year.

Somebody I know frequently comments how they win from the Lottery every week. They gain £1 from not buying a ticket (saving them the £1 which they call a "win").

Well another problem that wouldn't have been there if proper vetting and border checks were carried out.

Something that many western countries have simply shelved to their cost

What vetting did take place in the case of this man? Exactly what is "proper" vetting and what detailed depth of vetting should take place on moving between countries, and should that be the same for all countries e.g. Portugal, Iran, Israel, Ireland?

Who knows what motivated him or whether he had displayed any violent tendencies before entering the US?
