Very excited that Anthony Bennett and myself have resurrected the US Annual Update. As you’d expect v much focused on the election. Also available as an e-book. If thinking of buying 5+ message me for vg discount! amazon.co.uk/US-POLITICS-AN…
Government shutdown looms as Trump-backed bill fails to pass House A must-read year 13: Congress, legislation, government shutdowns, the role of the speaker, bipartisanship, limited government and checks and balances. bbc.com/news/articles/…
Water bills to rise by a whopping 36% over the next 5 years. Yet water company bosses have received over £25m in bonuses and incentives since 2019. It’s yet another gigantic corporate scam at the public’s expense. We are being ripped off.
Abuses will continue. Thames Water to get green light to hike bills by 33% by 2030, bailout funded by customers. Fleeced again. Company raising capital from customers who won't own anything. Sewage dumping, dividends, exorbitant exec pay will continue. theguardian.com/business/2024/…
Really brilliant example of how select committees in parliament work…but also of how powerful businesses/interests are able to do their very best to avoid scrutiny!

Well worth watching Sicko, Michael More film. Useful for economists for market failure, business objectives and politics for ideas re. Role of the state. bbc.com/news/articles/…
