CMA to investigate heating oil suppliers over ‘blatant profiteering’ from Iran war
Competition watchdog says it will look into ‘concerning reports’ to see if they breach consumer protection laws
CMA investigates heating oil suppliers over ‘blatant profiteering’ from Iran war.
Profiteering is everywhere - water, energy, social care, vets, banking, dentists, housing ....
People pushed into poverty, economy stagnates.
Regulators/Govts close profiteers, nationalise essentials, but don't

Spain could be the only EU country to beat energy price hikes
Spain spent the last six years investing heavily in wind and solar energy, leading to some of the cheapest power prices in Europe.
Nigel Farage keeps ranting against Net Zero, saying renewables are more expensive,
This articles nails that lie.

750 youth centres
800 libraries
1,086 swimming pools
1,416 Sure Start children’s centres

Palantir’s NHS England contract ‘opens door to government abuse of power’, health bosses told
Health justice charity Medact says data-sharing potential could be used for UK version of US immigration raids
Palantir’s NHS contract opens the door to the Big Brother-style data-sharing that Reform UK would use for a version of US immigration raids, health bosses have been told and we’ve told them with petitions, social media etc…
Can’t we have a referendum on this??

Reaching net zero by 2050 ‘cheaper for UK than one fossil fuel crisis’
Climate change committee finds move to renewable energy would also bring health, economic and security benefits
Our dependency on fossil fuels makes us vulnerable. Wars across the world are pushing up prices for households in the UK.
Why keep waiting for the next crisis? We need to transition to clean power as fast as we can to protect people and our economy.

Nigel Farage accused of U-turn as he says UK should keep out of Iran war
Reform leader’s latest comment contrasts with earlier statement that ‘gloves need to come off’
Nigel Farage accused of U-turn after he said Britain should not get involved in Donald Trump’s war with Iran.

Daily mail beware the green menace
Didn't expect Daily Mail to be doing free branding.
Lower bills, protect the NHS and fund public services.

But, rather than receiving a formal
invite to meet Trump, Farage was in
fact invited to Mar-a-Lago by a
member of the club, according to
multiple people briefed on the matter
They said Farage had hoped he would
be able to catch Trump for a
conversation as the US president was
scheduled to travel to Mar-a-Lago that
evening. However, Trump had a
change in his itinerary and decided to
stay instead in Doral, about an hour`s
drive away
The Reform leader's failure to secure
an audience with the US president
underscores a weakening of ties
between the two populist leaders who
famously formed a close friendship in
the vears before and after the 2016
Massive humiliation for Farage, who tipped off the UK press that he was flying to Florida to have dinner with Trump... only for Trump to decide he had more interesting things to do when Nigel arrived.

This week, MPs will vote on the second reading of the Courts and Tribunals Bill. Don’t let the anodyne name fool you – this is one of the most revolutionary pieces of legislation in our…
The Courts and Tribunals Bill will remove your right to a jury trial for serious criminal offences.
Toff magistrates/judges will decide your fate.
Chances of miscarriage of justice will increase. Working class, poor, minorities will be the biggest losers.
