Still a City worker, still following cycling too much like a religion.
Now has more opinions on ESG & sustainable investing than your average.
- Too American.
- New: They stormed the Capitol. Now they’re selling merch. Pardoned by President Trump, many Jan. 6 rioters are now working to capitalize on the attention through podcasts, speaking tours and new lives as online influencers www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2... @byelliesilverman.bsky.social
- Britain needs to stop deifying the NHS. It’s not fit for purpose. Ffs.
- Not pleased the Powell strawman is taking so much attention when the basic premise that immigration is bad for the economy is just empirically wrong. The decision to cut immigration will make a lot of the problems Labour endeavoured to solve during the election materially worse. Bad governance
- The reactions to this are as predictable as they are misguided. We don’t really know if the management is better than the available alternative and nor do we know how well or badly the management did, given the *acute* constraints the regulator put on them. Investment minimums & price caps!
- extraordinary that Thames Water executives are getting *new* bonuses, this time as a result of the £3bn rescue loan from the spring - which loads the company with interest rates of nearly 10% via me and Gill Plimmer www.ft.com/content/1f6d...
- Frame if in terms of things the EU would actually offer and I bet it’s much less popular
- I suspect this confidence is born out of a political leadership that is often in close proximity with City of London professionals (FS, Legal) which *does* still attract extremely competitive talent, despite the govt’s best attempts.
- Oh no, someone asking about the obvious consequences. What is happening in Westminster, they’re all becoming so stupid.
- @tobyn.bsky.social I won’t lie. Your piece on Reform & local govt pension assets has made me thoroughly miserable
- That’ll explain the bankruptcy
- This. Standards are slipping post-Covid.
- *fix public services and housing and miraculously no one will give a shit about immigration any more. It’s really basic*
