Morning brief — Thu 23 Jul 2026

Third morning, same three leading — and none has moved. Standard Chartered is now 13 days overdue and remains the only hard deadline on the board. Inbox is empty, Anytime hasn't grown: the whole backlog is behind you, nothing new is coming at you. The two finance items are a pair — plan first, then buy. I've refreshed all three onto Today. The only real question this morning: clear them, or tell me which to defer so the board stops lying.
