As the Financial Conduct Authority investigates potentially criminal misdeeds at tree-burning energy company Drax, information reaches the Eye which the FCA might add to its agenda. The FCA needs to establish whether known falsehoods in Drax pronouncements about the sustainability of its fuel sourcing were made deliberately, recklessly or negligently. So investigators will be interested to learn then that, when Drax acquired Canadian wood pellet manufacturer Pinnacle in 2021, Drax staff and advisers conducting due diligence on the transaction raised red flags concerning the sustainability of Pinnacle’s wood pellets which fuelled Drax, then as now; and Pinnacle’s “class 2” logging licences for felling whole, healthy trees. Full story online and in the latest issue: private-eye.co.uk/in-the-bac…  For the rest, including cartoons, Pseuds, Dumb Britain and all the other regulars, you’ll have to buy the magazine.

Lubov Chernukhin, wife of the Russian president’s one-time finance minister Vladimir, certainly takes an interest in her adoptive British homeland. In a decade up to the last election she gave more than £2m to the Tory party. Her commitment does not, alas, extend to paying what she owes to the country’s business people and taxpayers. Full story by the Eye’s new business columnist ‘Gold Digger’ in the latest issue.
