FIDERES has released the results of our investigation into another corporate misconduct: the unfair discrimination of millions of minority houselholds in the UK by energy companies. The practice of overtly and unfairly overcharging these minorities for over 10 years has been made possible by the installation, mostly into council properties and other social housing, of prepayment energy meters. You can read the summary of our study here: lnkd.in/dj75zw99. In the current harsh economic environment of deep inequality, Fideres remains committed more than ever to the investigation of corporate wrongdoing. #ppms #energycosts #discrimination #unfair

The Sunaks and tax. A recap of what we know, what we don't, and the two big outstanding questions. The short version: until we get clear answers, it's reasonable to assume the Sunaks are using an offshore trust to avoid £100m+ of tax. A 🧵:
