This week’s show begins with Labour’s decision to force tech giants to give more prominence to traditional news broadcasters on social media, to help battle misinformation. Valeria Martinez discusses what this quick-fire solution to get younger people to engage with older news outlets means for investors and the companies involved.
We then turn to Britain’s housing market as the cost of homes crept up in June. Hugh Moorhead dives into whether it’s showing signs of meaningful recovery, regional trends and how affordability pressures are affecting buyers. Hugh also talks through housebuilder Vistry’s dramatic share price plunge this week.
Finally, Julian Hofmann discusses the success of legal firm Knights after it released positive results this week. With its acquisition-led strategy proving fruitful and cash generation benefiting shareholders, Julian explores how it’s growing without resorting to borrowing.
