Have we considered encouraging more central bankers to become politicians?

While Siri is generally terrible at dictation. How am I just realising that it's about 75% better when I hold the phone about a millimetre from my mouth?

I find it curious Canada already shares a border with France. Saint-Pierre and Miquelon sit 25 km off Newfoundland. French passports, French gendarmes, euros in the tills. Worth remembering as Ottawa tilts towards Europe.

The Reform scandal won't make any difference. The media will horse race them right into government and more Brexit like catastrophe for the UK. Consequences are for the competent in the British system.

Even I wanted him to nationalise Thames Water. How are these career politicians so bad at politics?

I've now realised the best reason to not have a case on your iPhone is the discipline of only using it when you're not moving. 😐😂

A week in Copenhagen with partners and customers. Talked the summer market (literally hot), all things AI, and how to free up way too busy shipping folks to manage risk and grab opportunity in a messy market. Highlight: deck time at our Hellerup office. #Maritime #MaritimeAI

My take on AI is, essentially, everybody who’s against is too against it and everybody who’s for it is too for it.

The UK government (or the UK) is so far gone in solving actual challenges that its main activity for many years now is simply debating who is prime minister. The Westminster bubble has no idea how absurd this all looks. #labour #westminster #ukpolitics

🤣 I’ve been thinking we’re doing email wrong now. I shouldn’t send you my AI summary that your AI will then read a summary of. I should send you my long winded dictation that my AI will add masses of extra context to. Then your AI will really have something to chew on.
