The Bigger Picture: Buying political access, an end to cheap foreign travel & NHS falling in health rankings
Political commentator Mike Indian considers the issue of funding and access in politics and asks if there's a better system. With changes to the traffic light system and today's testing requirements, he wonders if foreign travel will once more become a privilege of the wealthy. He examines why the NHS has fallen down the international health rankings. And he welcomes one bit of good news, that musicians can once more tour Europe.

The Business of Film: The Suicide Squad, Jungle Cruise & Antebellum
As cinemas are once more permitted to operate at full capacity, James Cameron-Wilson celebrates another uptick in box office take. He reviews The Suicide Squad, James Gunn's latest hit with Idris Elba and Margot Robbie, finding it even better than The Guardians of the Galaxy. He is less impressed by Jungle Cruise with Emily Blunt, another film based on a theme park ride. But he recommends Antebellum, a dark film about racism now available on DVD and Blu-Ray.

The Financial Outlook for Personal Investors: Lessons to be learned from the results season
Russ Mould of A J Bell considers the results season, embracing companies that helped us get through Covid but are fading now and those companies that suffered and which are now speeding ahead. One almost universal constant, though, is the complaint about higher input costs and staff shortages. Whatever central bankers say, inflation is already here and have a big effect. Which companies are going to be least affected by it?

This is Money: Are your energy bills about to soar? Latest on the Ofgem price cap and how to beat imminent rises
From October, millions of households can expect to pay even more on their energy bills. Ofgem is raising the energy price cap for the second time in a year, due to rising wholesale costs. The cap is now at a record high and it means those who are on a standard variable tariff, or a prepayment meter, could be facing hundreds of pounds added to their annual bills. Lee Boyce, Grace Gausden and Georgie Frost take a look at the price cap, what it means and how -potentially - to beat it. When it comes to future technology, will we soon see the death of the landline to be replaced by phone calls over wi-fi? Additionally, with growing numbers of households – especially rural ones – turning to satellite broadband, we explain how it works and the potential costs. When it comes to current accounts, we tend to stay loyal. But those who have switched, Starling Bank and Virgin Money have been the most popular destinations. It's a tale of two different switching mentalities – those who want branches and bribes, and those who simply want a sleek app and good customer service. Lastly, Grace on the Case launched 10 months ago. In that time, our senior reporter Grace Gausden has managed to claw back a total of nearly £206,000 for readers. She takes a look back at some of her most satisfying wins and her passion for helping This is Money readers achieve a fair result from a variety of different firms.
