@conor_matchett @jburnmurdoch They won't. Englands Corporate Governance law is one of only 4 nations on Earth that prioritises shareholder returns over all other stakeholders. Its their Constitution and ideology.
@conor_matchett @jburnmurdoch I'd like to see a lot more coverage of the *causes* of the inflation in essentials. Eg energy prices are not rising due to scarcity or the war in Ukraine. By far the biggest cause is speculation on gas in the commodities market. This could easily be ended.
