Pleased to see today’s @thetimes cover my call for HSBC, Barclays & Santander to each invest £10m in CDFIs and credit unions. Everyone with a viable business deserves a fair chance to access finance. @resp_finance @TheFinanceLab @CoopParty thetimes.com/article/a9b16d…

A Fair Banking Act can help unlock growth in every postcode by improving access to affordable finance and supporting community lenders. My latest for @LabourList, with thanks to @TheFinanceLab, @resp_finance & @CoopParty 👇

The EU’s deal with Switzerland shows there’s a practical path for the UK back towards the Single Market in key sectors. We should seize it and agree a far more ambitious reset with Europe.
Time for Labour to go big on the EU - UK in a changing Europe

Today in Parliament, I highlighted @NIESRorg research showing the UK economy could grow by 3.5% with stronger mutual & community banking. Millions are locked out of affordable credit. Expanding credit unions & CDFIs could change that. @FBfACampaign @CoopParty @resp_finance

I’m genuinely shocked and saddened by reports that Will Jackson, Conservative candidate for North Harrow, told British-born Asian MPs like Rishi Sunak and Shabana Mahmood that they are “not British” and should “go back to Pakistan.”
