Good morning and welcome to the BusinessLive Breakfast blog on Monday, 4 November.

I'm Jonathon Manning and I'll be here with you every morning to give you a round-up of the most important events taking place in the commercial world.

The CEO of fast food giant McDonald's has left the business after breaking the company's rules about engaging in a relationship with an employee.

Steve Easterbrook has left the company after his relationship - which was consensual - was discovered by McDonald's board.

In an mail to staff Mr Easterbrook said he agreed it was time to "move on".

And in other news, Ryanair is sticking to its plans to cut pilot and cabin crew jobs due to the grounding of Boeing 737 MAx planes.

The planes are set to come back into service in March 2020, two months after the airline was previously told.
