Reallt didn’t want to like SNL UK. But somehow they nailed it. Strange times.

I’ve seen this guy before. He’s not a professor. We do ‘print’ money in times of crisis via quantitive easing- this, like most treatments, has side effects - namely inflation and loss of value. In short, it makes existing money literally worth less and products more expensive. I think a 16 year old GCSE student could tell you that. Or anyone who’s looked at Zimbabwe.

WATCH: "Professor Jiang" explains that we could fix poverty by printing infinite money but we don't because we want people to be poor.

I am not joking.

I see some weird things but this takes the biscuit. A vulnerability in the Companies House website, that let anyone view the private dashboard of any one of the five million registered companies, see directors' personal details.

And modify them.

Diageo's new CEO earned his nickname at Tesco- "Drastic Dave." This morning he halved the dividend and promised "wholesale change." The giant is stumbling.

Don Julio went from 2 million cases to 5 million in three years. Extraordinary. Then the lawsuits hit claiming it's not actually 100% agave. The premium tequila category is about to have a very uncomfortable reckoning. New issue of DRINKS is up.

The moment Brazil made Winter Olympic history 🇧🇷

Casa Brasil erupts as Lucas Pinheiro Braathen wins the country's first-ever Winter Olympic medal - GOLD in alpine skiing men's giant slalom.

Pure emotion. Pure joy.

NYSE wants 24/7 blockchain trading of tokenised stocks. Nasdaq has filed to bring assets on-chain. Not crypto hype. Infrastructure. And most people still think this doesn’t affect them…

One in five Scottish distilleries now in financial distress. Up 40% in a quarter. Everyone blames tariffs. The real problem is too many brands were built on lockdown hype, not liquid quality. Corrections are punishing and not like govt are helping.

90% of premium spirits brands launched in the last five years will be dead by 2030. Spent eight years building one that wasn't. Writing a fortnightly newsletter about why most don't survive and what the ones that do actually get right.

Abu Dhabi is quietly becoming one of the most interesting financial centres in the world. Not because of hype. Because the regulatory framework is actually designed for how modern wealth moves. Most people in London still haven’t noticed.
