Thanks for swinging by – why are we here – what does it all mean?

So much info to process, buzzwords & clichés to swerve.

Peek behind the Process

Stormy Weather – Lena Horne

They’re so smug. Labour’s Attorney General has recused himself from various cases but we can’t know which ones or why. This is supposedly to protect legal privilege – but does smell a bit even by Starmer’s already increasingly whiffy standards.

Rachel Reeves is clearly a WEF Stooge. Her constant carping about growth mimics the DAVOS message.

CEOs want to rip up Europe’s regulatory rulebook, Trump-style

DEI @ Davos

Nobody ever mentions DEI in the same sentence as H1B – funny that. Amazon are getting rid of DEI and keeping H1B. Steve Bannon has gone from saying you should be proud whenever you’re accused of being racist to accusing Elon & Thiel of being racist and saying that H1B discriminates against Blacks and Latinos in the US. He tried to act like Luigi had a point too. But it’s all just performative from “Economic Nationalist” Bannon.

Chinese Deepseek (as referred to yesterday) just knocked $600 bn off Nvidia according the FT.

Meanwhile Starbucks sound willing to try anything to make some money in the US. I remember years ago being shown how highly correlated the Starbucks share price was to the price of Brazilian coffee.

Now it’s more worried about BDS.

BELOW THE LINE . . .
