’s next news editor!
I’ve been lucky to be part of such a supportive and extremely talented team these past couple of years and I am excited for us to continue growing and producing truly excellent journalism together.
Still can't quite believe I was named Headlinemoney Journalist of the Year last night.
An enormous honour, and to win it alongside B2B Journalist of the Year and to be highly commended as B2B Investment Journalist of the Year and for B2B Story of the Year feels really special.
Absolutely thrilled to take on the editor role of a publication as prestigious as
@InvestmentWeek
Looking forwards to working with our excellent team to continue championing investors and delivering the highest quality journalism.
This marks my final day with Investment Week, which is of course a bittersweet moment. Joining as a reporter and departing as the editor, it’s been a wonderful journey with the best people.
Soon you’ll find me at The Telegraph as Investment Editor, a role I’m thrilled to take on
It's an honour to be nominated for one award but to be up for four this year, including B2B Story of the Year, ESG Story of the Year, Investment Journalist (B2B) of the Year and overall B2B Journalist of the Year really feels quite special.
Thrilled to have been shortlisted for State Street’s Alternatives Journalist of the Year, an always fascinating space and extremely competitive category.

Congratulations to

@EveMadJ
has you covered with an excellent piece.
Thank you all for reading along - see you next year x
Boy I sure am glad to learn that nothing I've done over the past year counts for anything and there's no possible way for me to prove myself to my editors or fellow journalists other than rubbing it in their faces in an office!
So many journalists make a name for themselves by showing how keen they are in a story in front of editors and other journalists. How can they show that if everyone is remote?
One uniting factor I've found with everyone who describes climate change as a 'political issue' is that they are the most selfish (and often incredibly dull) people you've ever met.
Maybe you missed it, maybe you loved it so much you wanna watch again, maybe you’re still bored enough to go to Instagram, so here’s the lil monologue once more. Thanks again to

Also mad is the bit where they question whether they should keep his money, concluding that 'well despite being a convicted sex offender he said he didn't do it, honest, so... let's keep the money'.
Crispin Odey - and any employee of Odey AM - are now unable to access their investments in the firm, unless the FCA grants written approval to such moves.
Client assets unrelated to the business remain accessible.
Stuart Kirk, DWS & DB, BNY Mellon and the SEC, there was a lot of news around greenwashing over May.
You can find it all here, as always, alongside the other biggest stories of the month.
Excited for the moment restrictions are eventually lifted and Neil Clark, Toby Young, David Icke et al claim it was all thanks to their struggle against the shadow governments rather than just, yknow, the pandemic has passed

While the fallout from SVB is likely far from over, experts aren't concerned about a second Global Financial Crisis, precisely because of the first one.
Woodford claims he can triple your money in three years with his latest offering, although when I asked them about this, they deleted the figures and declined to comment.

"My biggest question, given that the presentation was pre-approved and that he has now been suspended: Does the HSBC compliance team not understand climate risk?
