The UK has the highest industrial electricity prices in Europe. Upto 132% higher than the EU14 median. Five times more than in Finland. Since 2020, UK's 20 largest energy companies have made £514bn operating profit, destroying businesses and households. davidturver.substack.com/p/uk-industria…

My thoughts today are with all the victims -living and dead- of the Post Office Scandal; and their families. A completely avoidable tragedy. I hope today is the beginning of the end but it will still be a long road

An important FOI revelation:  Both UKGI’s Richard Callard & its former General Counsel, Richard Watson (now full-time District Judge), are exposed as having misled the Post Office Inquiry with regards to their knowledge of the existence of the Swift Review.

Important points raised by Simoney Kyriakou 🇨🇦. We must not forget the hard lessons of 2008. Consumer protection and financial stability must remain front and centre. You can read our Open Letter to the Treasury Committee here: transparencytaskforce.org/wp-content/upl…

WOW a £1million a week on one set of lawyers. WOW WOW WOW

The spectacular reversal of fortune at the Supreme Court for Tom Hayes and Carlo Palombo is still reverberating. After a 10-year fight for justice they're cleared: innocent men, falsely tried and wrongly jailed for an epic scandal going back to 2007: youtu.be/HotD2wvaZ3M

At 6.00pm today I will be making a presentation exposing the Financial Ombudsman Service, and their role in the true car finance scandal. This might not be your scandal, but it's important to understand just what the FOS really is and far from what you understand it to be, and

For a full 10 years the thugs at Herbert Smith averaged over £1.5m every month for advice which self evidently was wrong & destroyed their client. Just like they simultaneously did for Lloyds Bank & the HBOS Reading Fraud. Lying & denying ruins clients whilst enriching lawyers

Paul Pascoe Another industry regulated by essentially a trade body, and whose complaints upheld rate in 2015 had diminished to a shocking 1.36% [not 3% as the SRA stats wrongly suggest]. Enough said.

This is important 👇

And this 👇makes it worse Deterring fraudsters in financial services industry in The City has to be sensible. And a Govt’s primary job is to protect its citizens. Anyone who steals shouldn’t be protected, but held personally accountable. Otherwise we invite anarchy

The world is a strange place when finance companies trumpet a £15billion loss as a win. And, as PC says 👇, this judgment hasn’t ruled on significant other details that were not included in the Supreme Court’s remit and seem pretty solid bases of claim.

My short video summarising Friday's Supreme Court decision and today's announcement by the FCA on car finance. There has been so much nonsense before and since the Supreme Court decision, and since the FCA announcement of the consultation today, including likely size of redress

Wonder if the FCA might ask Herbert Smith to create the redress scheme? HS designed the one for the HBOS Reading Fraud, which was described by a judge as having been designed to fail. Yet the Post Office chose HSF to design their scheme. Could that have been accidental?

Sponsorship is like Harry Potter’s Invisibility cloak. It disguises a multitude of sins whilst facilitating cosy relationships that create conflicts. Lloyds Bank sponsored City of London police during the fall out from the £2b HBOS Reading Fraud.

It is because the courts are so naive that deceitful organisations & their lawyers use these tactics of shredding evidence- they know they won’t be punished. So sorry that the system failed you. Whistleblowers need far more protection as they protect us all

So incredibly naive that Rachel Reeves expects that you can whack businesses with £25bn per annum in taxes and not expect this to hit jobs, wages and prices.

Solar “should be on the rooftops, in industrial corridors, brownfield sites. What it shouldn't be is on good quality agricultural land." Quite right. Looking forward to seeing Nigel and Crystal again at my Bedale surgery today. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

Please share The FCA is the regulator paid a fortune to protect consumers from financial scams. Yet when told of scams by banks it ignores them, letting banks continue ripping off consumers for years. Why does the Treasury support this behaviour, and protect those complicit?
