Revolut just launched UK personal loans: Ā£2k–£25k at personalised rates from 6.9% to 29.3%. 29.3% is credit-card territory. Given Revolut’s user base (younger, often secondary account, thinner credit files), the low-rate tier is going to be a small club. That means many young people will be agreeing to (likely) gamified loan offers at an extortionate rate. This is no doubt a money maker for Revolut ahead of IPO, but it’s got a Klarna feel to it?

UK founders: what’s the one thing the Budget could do next week that would actually change how you invest or hire? (Be honest.)

AI spend fears just hit the market again this week. Markets are finally asking what most founders already know: how much of this actually turns into cashflow? The real money isn’t in the mega-cap build-out - it’s in the boring layer that shows ROI in 90 days. What are you building or buying?

After the first couple of weeks back, engagement on X seems to have fallen off a cliff? Has there been a change in algorithm, or is it me?

I don’t mind Andy Burnham going on Gogglebox. People constantly say politicians should be more like the rest of us, then complain the second one does something ordinary like watching TV with their mate (for charity, too). The ā€œhe shouldn’t have timeā€ argument is also weak. A couple of hours of filming is almost certainly less time than he’s now spending fielding media questions about it. Although… I might (like a politician) change my mind if the upcoming budget doesn’t support businesses and entrepreneurs!

I love the Bending Spoons business model - especially whilst SaaS is out of favour in the equity world. They buy digital products that already have proven product-market fit and cash flow, then run them through a shared high-talent operating platform, optimise the hell out of monetisation and efficiency, then reinvest the cash flow into the next deal. It's genius and at the moment, it's a big leverage play! $BSP

UK CPI inflation jumped to 3.5% in the 12 months to September 2026 (from 3.1% in August) - the highest since October 2025 and a touch above the ~3.4% consensus. Transport, especially motor fuels, drove the rise, up ~30% year-on-year amid elevated energy costs from the Middle East conflict. The Bank of England has flagged further upside risks to inflation from energy (projecting it could reach around 4% early 2027) and held Bank Rate at 3.75% in September, with some MPC members already voting for a hike.
