I am the Global Editor at MoneyShow.com and each week I interview an investing expert. This week, I spoke with John Snowden, contributor to The IRS Report newsletter, who says the British economy will slide deeper into recession and the markets will move lower, too.

The forthcoming all-important Christmas trading period will give more of a guideline by [the middle or end of] January. There is as yet no real sign of confidence returning, which would suggest we are in for a long haul. Borrowings are at an all-time high and will probably double again next year.
