Jo Malone CBE launches Jo Vodka todayJo Vodka There are few people in British business with as recognisable a nose as Jo Malone CBE. Scent has always been her signature medium but, with her latest launch, it’s flavour that takes the lead. “I’ve always wondered if I could take my sense of smell and push it further into the world of taste,” she says. “Because to me, the two are deeply intertwined.” Today, Malone launches Jo Vodka with a trio of character-led expressions: 101 – The Purist, 102 – The Bohemian and 103 – The Artist. Each blend is infused…

Architect of the European Migrant Crisis, former German Chancellor Angela Merkel, criticised the current government in Berlin for refusing migrants claiming asylum at the border. Anyone who appears at the German border and says the word “asylum” should be given “due process”, ex-Chancellor Merkel said this week, in apparent condemnation of attempts by the current government of Friedrich Merz to stem the tide of illegal migration into the country. Merz, who comes from the same neo-liberal Christian Democratic Union (CDU) party as Merkel, has invoked emergency EU powers to refuse entry of migrants to ensure the safety of the German…

Senate Republicans narrowly passed Donald Trump’s “big, beautiful bill” Tuesday, taking a significant step toward the president’s goal of signing the legislation later this week. The vote was 51-50, with Vice President JD Vance breaking a tie. Republican Sens. Susan Collins of Maine, Rand Paul of Kentucky and Thom Tillis of North Carolina joined Democrats and voted no. The bill is expected to be the party’s marquee legislative achievement heading into next year’s midterms. The GOP’s slim House majority is at risk, and in the Senate, Tillis’ retirement announcement this week handed Democrats a major opening. In addition to extending…

Diddy faces up to life in prison if convicted. The high stakes, high profile Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs’ sex-trafficking trial is in its final phase as the jury panel has gone into deliberations after seven weeks of testimony and final arguments. And almost immediately their work hit a complication yesterday (June 30), with the foreperson sending a note saying one juror ‘apparently couldn’t follow the judge’s instructions’. New York Post reported: “The panelists, eight men and four women, sent a note to Manhattan federal court Judge Arun Subramanian at around 12:40 p.m. expressing concerns about one of their own. ‘We have…

The Bao Steel mill in the morning, in Baotou, Inner Mongolia, China. Baotou is an excellent example … More of a one-industry town, and that industry is steel. Baotou is also notorious as a big polluter, mostly from the large Bao Steel factory. With Baotou sitting directly west of Beijing, much of Beijing’s notorious smog and haze comes from cities such as Baotou, which lay directly west.

Restricted stock units (RSUs) are a deceptively complex form of employee equity compensation. They … Moregetty Beware. When you receive a grant of restricted stock units (RSUs), do not make the mistake of thinking the tax and financial planning is simple.

In a recent webinar that I moderated, three elite financial advisors who have extensive experience in planning with…

The British rap duo Bob Vylan has been dumped by their major talent agency, UTA, due to antisemitic rants during a Glastonbury music festival. As Breitbart News reported, during the festival “Bobby led the Glastonbury crowd in chants of ‘death, death to the IDF’ (Israel Defense Forces) and ‘From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free,’ which denotes the elimination of the state of Israel and presumably the people therein.” He also complained about being employed by a “fucking Zionist.” As of now, the U.S. State Department has already revoked their American visas. The fallout continued Monday with the…

U.S. job openings rose more than expected in May, led by strong demand in the private sector, even as federal job postings and hires fell sharply—suggesting a labor market rebalancing in line with the Trump administration’s push to shrink the government’s economic footprint. The number of job openings climbed to 7.77 million, up 374,000 from April, according to Tuesday’s Job Openings and Labor Turnover Survey (JOLTS). Economists had expected a more modest figure of 7.3 million.
