The Top Class Wednesday Update has only just recovered

If you’ll be so kind, I want to use this update to reflect on a few aspects of our Home Truths event that really stuck out for me.
The Top Class Wednesday Update is easily distracted by squirrels

What’s exciting in the world of regulation this week? From my position behind the bird feeder it’s come from the House of Lords Industry and Regulators Committee.

In times like this one must reach for nice things, and so I’m going to ignore Consumer Duty, and concentrate on our Home Truths event, next Thursday.
The Top Class Wednesday Update is deliberate, not careless

I mean we’ve all done it, right? You’re filling out your tax return, the Deliveroo guy comes to the door with your bao order and you miss out your £27 million offshore trust.
