👋Good morning. Happy Friday! The week is now old enough to be judged, and yesterday it delivered its verdict: the grown-ups want the car keys back. Everywhere you looked, someone was tidying up, tightening up or being told to calm down. Companies pruned the bits of themselves that weren't pulling their weight. Governments squinted at technology that has started doing things nobody asked it to. And investors kept writing cheques so large they probably need their own postcode. It had the energy of a Friday clear-out at the office (the fridge gets emptied, the rulebook gets dusted off, and someone finally asks who signed off on all this). If the summer was about everyone sprinting, autumn is shaping up to be about who's holding the leash. So grab something warm, find a comfy chair, and let's work through the pile.
