London’s FTSE 100 was down 0.6% to 7,192.41 in afternoon trading on Monday.

Parent company British Airways and Iberia AGI was the worst performer, having rebounded sharply late last week after the UK government announced that full passengers arriving in England from countries not on the red list will be able to take a lateral flow from October 24 rather than a more expensive test PCR test.

Go the other way, national grid was among the winners after saying he continued to perform as expected ahead of the release of his first half results on November 18.

Tesco was also in the dark as the supermarket chain said it had started its share buyback scheme of up to £ 500million. He announced the move with his interim results on October 6, saying improved earnings had allowed him to launch a multi-year buyout to return money to shareholders.
