Good morning, Europe. A compact Wednesday first dig: one Reuters UK economy read, one practical health calendar note, then into the day.
Reuters morning read: Reuters reports that the British Chambers of Commerce now expects the UK economy to grow a little faster than previously forecast this year, while firms remain cautious about investment.

Useful this morning: With September underway, UKHSA and NHS England’s 2026–27 flu programme is worth a quick family-calendar check. From 1 September, the offer starts for pregnant women, children aged 2 or 3, school-aged children, and children in clinical risk groups; most adult eligible groups start from 1 October. If that affects your household, note the timing now rather than hunting for it when the letters and school forms arrive.
