My book Rigged, exposing an establishment cover-up at the highest level on both sides of the Atlantic followed by a whole series of miscarriages of justice, has already sold out its initial print run and been reprinted in the UK. Now it's being published in the United States:

Here’s more on who’s profiting from the war on Iran, or more precisely the much higher prices households and businesses are all paying - at the pumps and via bills - because of the oil price boom caused by the US-Israeli led war. nytimes.com/2026/10/30/bus…

That money you fork out to pay the lecky bill or fill up the tank, where does it go? Bumper profits go not to the retailers but to 'upstream' energy extractors benefiting from the global short supply of crude oil. Shell just reported a doubling of profits June-Sep to £8.1 bn.

The biggest spending measure in the Budget is the Household Energy Payment, giving a £100 council tax rebate for bands A-D from January. That will bring £2.6bn of relief for households struggling with bills - and cost the Exchequer the same. But is it really funded by the banks?
