This week, Google raised $32 billion in debt in under 24 hours. A billion-pound, 100-year bond — nearly 10x oversubscribed.
The main buyers? UK pension funds.
The same institutions that have abandoned the UK stock market are lending Google money for 100 years to build the AI revolution.
We break down the three regulatory decisions that broke the UK equity market — and why the damage might just have created the most contrarian opportunity in the world.

The FT polled 103 economists last week about the UK outlook.
Two-thirds expect MORE tax rises.

The US looks resilient. So why does the system feel so brittle?
This week on Noise Cancelling, we test the “2007 again?” narrative:
Treasuries + leverage, basis trade, private credit, Japan spillovers, crypto noise.
Real risks exist — but not always where the internet is shouting loudest.
