Welcome to Money Distilled. I’m John Stepek. Every week day I look at the biggest stories in markets and economics, and explain what it all means for your money.

I’m afraid it’s not your usual Friday roundup this week. No, apparently there was some big event in the UK yesterday, and I really feel I need to mention it this morning.
