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.

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?

Yes! But a very very long time ago

I’m surprised there weren’t cheers!

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

Not quite! But it felt like somewhere where that would have been absolutely fine 😂

Felicity Hannah @felicityhannah.bsky.social · 1d

“Is this a paid ‘opportunity’”

Hi Felicity, Unfortunately, due to our goal of making business more financially accessible, we don’t have a dedicated presenter budget. Despite this, it’s a fantastic extended marketing opportunity where you’d gain great exposure interviewing our headline speakers, including figures like Touker Suleyman, and be featured across our event’s digital channels and marketing materials. It’s an excellent way to build visibility, connect with influential business leaders, and showcase your presenting skills to a large professional audience.

Great!

“Hi Felicity, we’re looking to collaborate… incredible visibility… a real opportunity”

Guys, when you mean ‘3 days of unpaid work’ at least have the guts to SAY it rather than make it sound like a favour.
