A scooplet to read over your morning flat white and chocolate croissant or Bircher bowl 🥐 .. Pret A Manger owner sounds out new investors ahead of future IPO plans- with ⁦@ArashMassoudi⁩ @FT https://t.co/w11kMMrFIT

It’s just so extraordinary - Musk using his social network with 220.4 million followers to attack. Trump, leader of world’s biggest economy, using his social network with 9.8m followers - an almighty ding-dong ranging from EVs to Epstein allegations. Wild. https://t.co/B9NyiGRyIc

Everyone knew that it was WHEN not IF Musk and Trump would fall out. It was always going to be explosive. I want this Michael Bay worthy spat on wide screen 🍿

Chancellor grilled by Rupert Soames @CBItweets on whether there will be another raid on business as the world has changed since Autumn. RR sticks to line “we’ll never have to do something like that again”. “I’m not going to say I’m not going to make tax changes in next 5yrs” https://t.co/wWK4jQqopd

Wise switching main listing to New York a day after Cobalt Holdings scrapped London float plans is a double whammy for the City. Firms complain of lack of liquidity and low valuations. Investors complain of lack of fresh quality. How does LSE get out of this vicious cycle?

“Summer of uncertainty” for Thames Water as regulator will take weeks to pore over bondholders proposal and rescue £4bn equity plan will still have to go through courts . With @BondHack & @IvanLevingston https://t.co/2j36vyt6gp

Online retailer ASOS has a big pop-up outside Tottenham Court Rd and visuals that I believe some call “activations”. It’s been a while. No sign of Topshop on the racks though https://t.co/baemssju6c

What’s next for Thames Water after KKR’s shock withdrawal.. With my new crack squad of ⁦@FT⁩ colleagues ⁦@BondHack⁩ ⁦@PickardJE⁩ ⁦@ArashMassoudi⁩ https://t.co/Tal5OeA1u8

First day @FT in new job as chief UK business correspondent. I’ve managed to get my laptop working and a salmon pink lanyard secured - early wins. On the same mobile number for stories and tip-offs. 🗞️ https://t.co/Ns1LYuuxQO

Amazed by this. Reading today’s @FT before starting new gig on Monday and there is a fantastic full page on Enniskillen’s @impartialrep - where I spent my time doing work experience back in 2007/8. Ed was @DenzilMcDaniel then. Taking it as a sign! https://t.co/cGAosSq1gq https://t.co/mZHKG4f3cK

Off this week with the family in the Highlands. Being blown about Ben Nevis. The sun has come out in Skye and it is simply stunning. Soul affirming stuff https://t.co/qdX1HvcNWT

☀️Morning! My last @TheSun Business page - and of course there’s an amazing Percy pun. Thank you to the @TheSun subs who made this biz page so much fun to do & to our readers. I hope the page did its job of making sense of some of the financial chaos & informed & entertained x https://t.co/4wkOLCqPXK

M&S bosses reckon the £300m hit from cyber attack will be halved. Which means the Budget’s blow from NICs and packaging changes will be almost as damaging as a gang of cyber criminals. And its £248.5m writedown of its Ocado JV is more costly to M&S .

☀️Morning! Wednesday’s penultimate @TheSun Business: Greggs boss stands by shoplifting “hot spot” stores and says will do more to deter brazen thieves who regularly target stores with tech and counters. Voda pledges £1.5bn to boost network and Musk to be at Tesla unless he dies https://t.co/HwdzUaoV74

M&S boss Stuart Machin calls cyber attack “window of disruption”. Admits it’s been “only 4.5 weeks but feels like 4.5 months” by that’s relatively short term given M&S long recovery journey. Highlights M&S now has best balance sheet in 30 years - this attack overshadows results

My last day as @TheSun Business Editor and what a bumper news day: Official inflation figures have shot up to 3.5%, higher than expected. M&S full year results as it warns of £300m gross hit from cyber attack (although hopes to mitigate half of that). https://t.co/rGdIWi9ey0
