29th Oct 2026 - I shouldn't say this in my daily role, but I like the idea of capital scarcity. There are 200 billion reasons this week to look at bank stocks more closely - the clues come from Broadcom, Korea, Revolut and bizarrely, Europe's stagnation.

28th Oct 2026 - another blow to right-wing politics which doesn't even feature Nigel Farage's car crash "Nigerian scammer" BBC interview; Israel has voted and Netanyahu's political bloc has seen its seat share fall from 68 to 52 (down 23%).... 👁️👁️ #FortFoot

24th Oct 2026 - Dark headlines for AI cybersecurity this week but the momentum of AI seems unstoppable, and some bright spots too. Just mind-blowing how authentic the AI voice model Dessa sounds, and only trained on real conversations, not text or pre-training models. #FortyFoot
Bloody hell......Netflix your growth woes are sorted!!
The GRU hacked into Jared Kushner's iPhone. Dutch military intelligence (MIVD) then recruited a GRU spy who gave them access to the hacked phone. What MIVD discovered was that Kushner had access to two bank accounts --one Azerbaijani, the other Israeli --where Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman and Emirati ruler Mohammed bin Zayed deposited money. It sounds like a slightly far-fetched episode of "Slow Horses," but it's real. And it proves just how eye-poppingly corrupt this administration was and continues to be as its "special envoy" decides the fate of tens of millions in Europe in the Middle East. Simply incredible reporting by Matthew Cole, drawn from his new book on Kushner. vanityfair.com/story/jared-k…
22nd Oct 2026 - a new day and a new chance to hug a grandparent. Sometimes good intentions just get the messaging wrong. Don't waste negative energy on the review. Move on, bigger challenges out there I'm afraid... #FortyFoot
21st October 2026 - this Musk and Trump conspiracy to assist Russian terrorism looks like it’s attracting unusually bi-partisan revulsion. The masks are truly off now. Sickening stuff #Seapoint
