Shake up!

And shake it all a-ROUND - !!!

'Oh! Is it a new dance, boss?'

No, Voice. No it isn't.

'But I love to dance!'

Shut up.

Post-Brexit shake-up crucial for London Stock Exchange to remain top player.

'Oh, okay.'

City watchdog warns that without changes, London's status as a global market could be downgraded to a regional exchange.

'Oh no!'

Yeah.

Nayan Gala, founder of global investment banking platform, JPIN, explains how the UK could benefit from reassessing its regulatory stance.

I'm sure he does.

Hi Michael!

Hello.

'Who is that?'

Chloe.

I hope you're well.

Not really. Just get on with it, Chloe! FFS!

Chill! / On top of an energy shortage, soaring inflation and a looming recession, a chairman of the London Stock Exchange (LSE) has now warned that the UK must act fast in "tearing up decades-old orthodoxies and water down a host of stock market rules" to ensure that London remains a relevant destination for flotations and capital raisings. He added that the capital is no longer the "default" European venue for listings and equity raises, and that the LSE, once flying with the likes of New York, Shanghai, and Tokyo, could diminish to that of a regional exchange if it continues to shrink at the current pace. Although Brexit has presented a vital opportunity for the UK to branch out towards markets outside of Europe, experts assert that this should also work alongside the implementation of radical reforms to ensure that London persists as a relevant destination for flotations and capital raisings.

Although Brexit has ... ... ... Do me a favour!

As of June this year, the number of companies trading on -

All right, Chloe. What does Nayan say?

Nayan Gala, investment specialist and founder of JPIN, comments on how the UK could benefit from relaxing current regulations:

"London has always been an attractive destination for companies looking to go public, with a particular interest from international businesses. The last few years have evidently raised a few hiccups on the road - but now, particularly with the opportunities Brexit has provided, regulations that once came with the stock market must be eased in response to this. This will likely assist with boosting the stock volume, value and quality, and could result in a significance bounce back of the LSE."

These guys!

Okay, okay. Whatever. Thanks for the email, anyway.

...

Anything else?

I probably won't try another fresh start until I've written those two lyrics I need and recorded my demo.

I'll have seventeen songs. The BIG TEN will be complete. The demo will be done. I'll feel better.

Then the fresh start will just be ... rehearsing all the time, you dig?

Nice and easy.

Obviously, there will be more chaos in the future because there is always chaos.

But I won't need any new songs for a while, and I won't need to do any recording.

'You can just play and sing all day long!'

That's right, Voice. That's what I'll do - and with a light heart and a calm mind, too.

Laters, kooks.
