🌍 🔥 Today’s FT. Turning our backs on net zero would be an extraordinary political, economic and demographic miscalculation.
Front page of today’s FT. Such a shame that the desire and ability to THINK has fallen off a hi-tech cliff. (PS I wrote this myself… honest, guv)
“Fire thunderstorms” in today’s FT. You’d have thought climate change action would be higher up the political agenda. This is France - not a distant desert area.
Front page of today’s FT. But that’s OK, you all just abandon net zero and plans to mitigate climate change. That’s definity sensible.
Sometimes you see a painting that’s so good you just want to share it. You’re welcome.
A paragraph in today’s FT. Welcome to the future. I’m sure everything will be fine. 🤖
I really like the FT but not sure I can forgive them for this chart…
Today’s FT. Politics and Higher Education international reputation.
a double dose of pensions politics on the front page of today's FT...

I’m no @pickardje.bsky.social but still quite proud of this one on an early morning London run… Happy Friday.
The Economist opining on pension fund investment. Not sure I agree.
Front page of today’s FT. SRT = significant risk transfer. Anybody else got déjà vu? Slicing and dicing of loans even mentioned…
So there’s me. At the snooker this afternoon in Sheffield. Failing to escape the day job…
Happy Easter Sunday Runday! 🏃♂️ Recovery run times with a dodgy back except for the sixth…
And the award for “economics chart of the Century” goes to… [drum roll…] 🥰 👏 🥇
