Naturally, eyes and ears are predominately on Chancellor George Osborne's autumn statement today, which starts at 12.30pm.
Many of the probable measures have already been well flagged, so lets use this report to look at the other moves the occupant of No 11 may make.
There is plenty flying around on the web and social media about the speech, which Osborne has already said on Twitter will deliver "economic and national security" - surely a nod to recent terror attacks and yesterday's shooting down of a Russian fighter plane.
Potential cuts will be closely monitored as he outlines the spending review of the various government departments as he still needs to make an eye watering £22bn of them to meet his own targets of 2010.
Away from housing and tax credits, another issue, which may come up is more on Heathrow airport expansion plans.
Also drivers may not be so pleased to hear of a tax hike on fuel amid bargain basement crude prices.
Interestingly, other commentators point to a possible announcement on the UK energy industry amid much hyped speculation about winter blackouts and how the UK may well be plunged into darkness any time soon.
Excitement over the contents of the statement appeared to send UK stocks higher, with FTSE100 up 57 points at the time of writing though miners were still down in the dumps.
Gaining traction in company news was actually a FTSE250 constituent - the travel group Thomas Cook (LON:TCG) - which flew over 10% higher as its profit after tax swung to a positive £19mln, up from a £115mln loss in 2014, representing its first positive annual profit after tax since 2010.
Despite this boss Peter Fankhauser was quoted as saying the travel industry faced its greatest turmoil in 30 years because of the recent series of terror incidents.
From webworld to the print world, although the reverse is probably more appropriate to say for the owner of the Daily Mail newspaper Daily Mail and General Trust (LON:DMGT).
Its shares slid in early deals as challenges in the print advertising market persist and the firm delivered a 4% decline in pre-tax profits for 2015.
As well as understandable challenges in UK print advertising with the rise of online, the firm pointed to financial data provider Euromoney, in which it has a majority stake, which it expects to continue to struggle in 2016.
Also in focus was news, Ladbrokes investor Dermot Desmond, the owner of Celtic football club and one of the richest people in Ireland, has vowed to derail the merger between the bookmaker and rival Coral after the £2.3billion tie-up was backed by shareholders.
He owns a 2.8% stake in Ladbrokes and has reportedly contacted the Takeover Panel over concerns the bookmaker was not transparent about some details.
Making waves in the small cap space was nano tech and materials and chemicals specialist Graphene Nanochem (LON:GRPH), whose shares surged after it won a three year agreement with a Malaysia based agri- business, which is expected to generate £500,000 of revenues in its first year.
The deal is a three year leasing and tolling agreement with Temasek for the production of refined bleached deodorised palm oil, basically a refined product, at the group's Lahad Datu Plant in Sabah in Malaysia.
