Tuesday briefing: Hamas says a ‘truce’ is near; Voting Rights Act; Sam Altman; Thanksgiving travel; turkey pardon; and more

Read today's briefing.

Serial entrepreneur Mark Cuban was one of the very first guests on How I Built This, way back in 2016. Mark has been founding and investing in startups for decades, but he’s never put his name on a company until now. 

This week on How I Built This Lab, Mark joins Guy to talk about what he’s been up to since he was last on the show. They discuss his interest in NFTs and how his latest business, the Mark Cuban Cost Plus Drug Company, is looking to disrupt the pharmaceutical industry.

Would you pay more tax for better health, housing, communications, green spaces, roads, social care, railways, education, defence?

Or not?

The consensus seems to be that we would if only people felt they could trust the people who spend it on our behalf.

It’s a complex and fascinating issue for a country living way beyond its fiscal means - allow Georgie Frost, Simon Lambert and Rachel Rickard Straus to explain.

Also on the show…

A regular minimum payment to all men, women and children in Britain is the panacea for the fair, just and healthy society we’ve all been waiting for.

Isn’t it?

Enjoy.
