Private equity giant Carlyle has thrown a £150m lifeline to online retailer Very - just as mounting debt threatens to sink the company. Sources say the refinancing deal will keep Very afloat, giving breathing space to a business grappling with sky-high borrowing costs, fierce competition, and a cash-strapped consumer market.

Rakoff repeatedly treats "crypto" as a monolith, collapsing decentralized networks, centralized frauds, meme tokens, and algorithmic stablecoins into a single object of derision. This is not analysis; it is rhetorical convenience. The Terraform Labs fraud he describes depended on secrecy, centralization, and false representations - the very features Bitcoin was designed to eliminate. Rakoff describes Bitcoin as gambling "untethered to economic reality." But his definition of economic reality is faith-based: central bank discretion, elastic supply, and institutional trust.
"If we don't get what we need [in terms of extra government help] then a Section 114 Notice will come in, which is effective bankruptcy. We'd then get administrators come in, in effect - they'd then make a plan for where the money gets spent in Worcestershire. It would be a catastrophe. We're going to have to halt projects that were put into the budget by the previous administration, things that maybe were 'nice to have', but we can't afford them."
Get rid of your ability to borrow - whether that's credit cards, if it's an overdraft you need to treat it like a loan. If you owe €500 in an overdraft, you need to say, 'Right, for the next 10 months, I'm going to put €50 a month off that and I'm going to create a new zero'. For a lot of people, an overdraft is an interesting one because they go to minus 500, they get paid, they get through the month, they go back to minus 500. That's your zero.
