How does Steve D feel about whippets and flat caps? Find out on this week’s PlayingFTSE Show!

We're starting off with the new UK government. Rishi Sunak is in charge now and the FTSE 100 has been going up. Why? Steve W has an idea. From there it’s on to UK stocks and Steve D has been looking at Barclays. Paul has some thoughts on this one. Mostly that he isn’t that interested.

After that, it’s something that Paul *is* interested in. Google’s parent company reported earnings and the Alphabet share price has been tumbling as a result. Was it as bad as all that? And is Google still a strong company with a bright future? All three of us give our views.

Next it’s Microsoft. Paul is effectively short this stock by accident, so the news that it’s going down after reporting strong earnings must be good news to him. But Meta is also down and things weren’t looking bright for Amazon when we recorded this on Wednesday. Is it time to buy the dip?

Lastly, with enough big tech out of the way, it’s Spotify time. The medium-sized tech company reported its results and Steve D has the news. With more users and higher average revenue per user, why is the share price in freewill and why does Steve D (our resident Spotify shareholder) think the business isn’t doing so well?
