Dan Davies @dsquareddigest.bsky.social · 21/09/2026I have had quite productive and interesting conversations with the Starling guys about regulatory culture and risk aversion but at the end of the day, it's hard to argue with a number in a box which should be greater than 100 and is less than 100. 240
graham steele @grahamsteele.bsky.social · 22/09/2026What frustrates me is that recent supervisory changes--MRAs, safety and soundness, etc--are likely going to make the issues about risk aversion and escalation worse, not better. I understand that's the agenda, but the cognitive dissonance of using this review as justification is a bit too much. 120
