We’re told energy bills are soaring – but how much of that fee is propping up government policy? writes Dean Dunham KC | LBC (opens the original)
Read excerpt
If the Government wants to spend billions pursuing energy, environmental or social policies, it should explain the cost to taxpayers and raise the money transparently. When my energy company sends me an energy bill, I expect to be paying for energy. Yet what we pay on our energy bills doesn't all relate to the gas and electricity we've actually used. Our bills also include network costs, supplier costs, taxes and government policy costs. And more than 120 businesses, charities and industry organ
£160m vanished and investors offered 5p in the pound, when does a bad investment become a scam? | LBC (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Banks should not compensate consumers simply because an investment goes wrong. Investment involves risk. Sometimes businesses fail, investments collapse and people lose money.

New warnings highlight the rise of so-called “hybrid” scams, where criminals manipulate victims into using different payment methods or moving money between accounts they control before the cash ultimately reaches the fraudster. Why does this matter? Because the way you move
Burnham’s subscription crackdown is a win for consumer but let’s not pretend the job is done, writes Dean Dunham KC | LBC (opens the original)
Read excerpt
At first glance, Andy Burnham’s crackdown on dodgy subscription practices is unquestionably good news for consumers. And I should say straight away: I’ve been calling for precisely this kind of action for some time. Millions of consumers have fallen victim to what have become known as “subscription traps”, signing up for a free or discounted trial, only to find themselves automatically rolled into a paid subscription which is then considerably easier to join than it is to cancel.
