The measured B -> pi pi, pi K branching ratios exhibit puzzling patterns. We point out that the B -> pi pi hierarchy can be nicely accommodated in the Standard Model (SM) through non-factorizable hadronic interference effects, whereas the B -> pi K system may indicate new physics (NP) in the electroweak (EW) penguin sector. Using the B -> pi pi data and the SU(3) flavour symmetry, we may fix the hadronic B -> pi K parameters, which allows us to show that any currently observed feature of the B -> pi K system can be easily explained through enhanced EW penguins with a large CP-violating NP phase. Restricting ourselves to a specific scenario, where NP enters only through Z^0 penguins, we derive links to rare K and B decays, where an enhancement of the K_L-> pi^0 nu nu_bar rate by one order of magnitude, with BR(K_L -> pi^0 nu nu_bar) > BR(K^+ -> pi^+ nu nu_bar), BR(K_L -> pi^0 e^+ e^-)=O(10^{-10}), (\sin2\beta)_{pi nu nu_bar}<0, and a large forward-backward CP asymmetry in B_d -> K* mu^+ mu^-, are the most spectacular effects. We address also other rare K and B decays, epsilon'/epsilon and B_d -> phi K_S.

Isospin-based EWP-tree Relations
Under isospin alone, electroweak-penguin diagrams in B→πK decays are proportional to tree diagrams with roles swapped relative to SU(3)_F, yielding an exact CP-asymmetry sum rule and a 4-5σ B→πK discrepancy with the S...

Anomalies in Hadronic $B \to VV$ Decays
Charmless B→VV decays under SU(3)_F show 5.2σ tension for ρ,K* modes and >7σ when ϕ and ω are included, while isospin-only ρK* fits remain acceptable.

Correlating $\epsilon^\prime/\epsilon$ to hadronic $B$ decays via $U(2)^3$ flavour symmetry
A U(2)^3 flavour-symmetric effective field theory can consistently explain the epsilon'/epsilon anomaly and hadronic B decay CP asymmetries, with a global fit about 3 sigma better than the Standard Model.
