Le Monde had Comte *à* tête de poubelle which I think lends it a certain elan to an English speaker.

we're now at the "youth hosteling with Chris Eubank" and "arm-wrestling with Chas and Dave" stage of brainstorming justifications for drilling in the North Sea.

Rosselkhozbank was also the bookrunner of a major bond issuance by the oil arm of Gazprom, the state-owned energy giant behind the strategically important Power of Siberia 2 pipeline project. Small wonder the Kremlin wants the bank reintroduced to global finance. It is a Trojan Horse.

It seems widely assumed that Rosselkhozbank exists to do the benign job of financing agriculture and food exports. But there is a catch. In 2023 we found that Rosselkhozbank had found a side-hustle in financing one of the mysterious oil traders that had sprung up to fuel Russia's war economy.

When the White House and the Kremlin announced the Black Sea ceasefire deal, it was noted that the Kremlin statement had set specific conditions. Condition No.1: That Russia's state agricultural bank be removed from sanctions lists and reconnected to the global banking communication system. 🧵

Successive posters on window at a closed Blackwell’s bookshop suggest Waterstones never quite won hearts and minds on the shopfloor.
