It’s so important to me to cover economic abuse - so I was delighted to have the chance to raise it on the World Service. Insights from UK, USA, South Africa and more. Thanks to @nicolajanesharp.bsky.social and all my contributors, especially ‘Mary’ for sharing her experience so frankly.

It is not fake, they updated the article after widespread condemnation.

I took the screen shot when the article was first published. I am sure you can find it on an archive if it’s that hard for you to believe I wouldn’t risk my professional reputation making stuff up about a fellow news organisation.

One of my favorite moments from Nobel Prize history:

The Nobel Committee couldn’t reach Stanford professor Paul Milgrom to let him know that he had been awarded the Nobel Prize for Economics, so his fellow winner, Robert Wilson, went over to his house in the middle of the night to wake him up!

I… assume you were in some sort of safety role? Not just eg a baker with a love of explosions?!

He’s so likeable. And - weirdly - some of the national treasures I already really liked are just coming across as very forced, while he’s a constantly bubbling stream of joy

(I feel like I made that sinister ‘a little chat’. We are just going to have a chat about it. Nothing as threatening as I made it sound)

For example, I make a cup of tea and drink it too hot while I read all the front pages #wakeuptomoney

Tomorrow on #wakeuptomoney we’re going to have a little chat about the London Stock Exchange’s daily opening ceremony. So I was wondering (and bear with me!) - what’s YOUR opening ceremony? How do you start each day at work?

I fully accept that ‘complaining about society today’ simply suggests I am becoming cantankerous as I age.
However, 3 people near me in this train carriage are playing their phones out loud and I genuinely think this is a breakdown in the social contract
