Silicon Valley Bank’s shareholders will and should lose everything. We need to ensure depositors have access to 100% of their deposits to enable staff and suppliers to be paid. Anything short of that plan by 9am Monday will be toxic for the science, tech and innovation ecosystem

As the demand for sustainable clothing increases, designers are looking for ways to make lasting statements that don't rely on constant turnover. This has led to ‘quiet fashion’, which looks set to play a major role in the sartorial landscape of 2023. l8r.it/YKnC

I want to grow followers and likes on Twitter. I have a £5k budget to experiment with and am keen to see how the platform performs, both naturally and paid. (nothing to sell at the moment, just interested in how Twitter works). Where is best to spend the budget?
