London stocks slip as investors parse earnings mixed bag

UK shares drifted lower as traders digested mixed earnings and positioned for upcoming global central bank policy decisions, including the Bank of England. The move appears modest and sentiment-driven rather than a reaction to a specific macro or company shock. Market direction is likely to remain sensitive to earnings follow-through and policy signals.
