“It’s just money. It’s made up.”

Money is nothing more than a shared belief system. Paper. Numbers on a screen. A social contract.

The real currency?

Value.

Every dollar earned is a reflection of a problem solved, a need fulfilled, or a life improved.

Too many people chase money.

The smartest people chase value.

Because when you create enough value, money follows.

Markets will boom. Markets will crash. History repeats.

But one principle never changes:

Create value. Get rewarded.

Money is the scorecard, not the game.

"We've arranged a society based on science and technology, in which nobody understands anything about science and technology. And this combustible mixture of ignorance and power, sooner or later, is going to blow up in our faces."

I’m shocked to learn that Peter Mandelson is exactly like Peter Mandelson.

I have a ticket for the Arsenal vs PSG game on Saturday. I didn't realise that it was going to be on the same day as my wedding, so I can't go!! If you're interested and want to go, it's at St. Andrew's Church in Cambridge and his name is Andy…

Why is HR so hated? Last week Bolt boss, Ryan Breslow (pictured) said he’d “got rid of our HR team”, adding they were “creating problems that didn’t exist”. People could not contain their glee. He was hailed as a hero. 1/3

BP should be a boring business. Instead, it is total chaos. My take for the @Independent here:

@VirginMoney customer service is a total joke. It is inept. And they don't care.

[SimonEnglish @SimonEngStand]

I suppose one way of looking at the @Morgangibbs27 @NFFC @England situation is this: the problem for England has often been how to accommodate all the available talent. Thomas Tulchel has solved that by not picking half of it.

🚨 WATCH: Keir Starmer takes a dig at Andy Burnham

"It would be remiss of me not to comment on one of Manchester's great heroes moving on after almost a decade. So let me congratulate Pep Guardiola"

[Danny Baker @prodnose]

Its insane, enraging, that the Mbeumo handball is ruled as legitimate play.
It's crazy. Idiotic. 100% wrong.
Football has fallen into the hands of a small, distant elite who inform us what we have witnessed.
We, supporters, apparently just accept this because we are helpless.

[Luke Tryl @LukeTryl]

Doing this health warning now: MRP projections or UNS swings of Makerfield aren't designed for by-elections. They don't take account of specific nature of by-elections and Burnham's personal vote which from every focus group I can tell you is real. IMO Burnham starts as favourite

[Pippa Crerar @PippaCrerar]

This, perhaps, is how Keir Starmer survives...

[SimonEnglish @SimonEngStand]

Forest look very limited going forward without Morgan Gibbs-White. #NFFC

[David Graeber Institute @Graeber_social]

"The Labour Party under Keir Starmer will abandon its core idealism and principles and won't even gain tactical advantage.

It will be a party which gives no one a reason to vote for it, and no one will, in fact, vote for it."

- David Graeber (from 2020)

Imagine being told you have to resign by *Ed Miliband*.

[Dr Luke Craddock @DrLukeCraddock]

The speed at which Labour have managed to destroy their core voter base is crazy.

Genuine passage from Daphne du Maurier - superb punchline

[SimonEnglish @SimonEngStand]

Well that’s very kind.

[Chris Blackwood @Blackwood_C]

If I was in London next week, I'd 100% go to this. @SimonEngStand is GREAT

Charlie Munger explains Private Equity and Investment Bankers with an example of a dumb Horse 😂

“Man goes to a Vet complaining about his horse who gets vicious sometimes. The Vet replies: The next time horse behaves well…sell it.”

“That’s how private equity works.”

[John Donoghue @JohnDonoghue64]

Perhaps the most British headline ever…
