Will this year’s Black Friday be the biggest yet? Fergal Gara of Amazon UK discussed
When it first crossed the Atlantic, Black Friday was a one day affair when we sat back in amusement watching punch-ups over cheap TVs. Now, hundreds of household name retailers are already dangling Black Friday carrots in front of our noses. Last year, amazon.co.uk sold more than 7.4 million items on the day at a rate of 86 items per second and are expecting to beat that this year. Fergal Gara is a Director of Amazon UK, and he joined Share Radio Breakfast to discuss the event.

IFS: No real wage growth for a decade
British workers might not see their pay rise above inflation until 2021. The Institute for Fiscal Studies says it's a "dreadful" prospect that real earnings are likely to remain at their 2008 level until then. The organisation also says the chancellor may need the "wriggle room" he's allowed the economy - because of uncertainty as we leave the EU. Share Radio's Steve Clarke has more.
