Great to see #PostOffice scandal reported on BBC news tonight but unbelievable (second thoughts not really) to hear someone asking why any big organisation would apologise to anyone and therefore admit liability? What a sad and sorry world.
It is obvious to all the Gov decision to protect energy co's profits at all costs will destroy the SME sector and leave 1000's of households unable to heat their homes. And the benefit to the Country is? Gov of the people for the people? NO - Seem Cons are campaigning for Labour

2 days before Lloyds said it was buying HBOS, @TheFCA & PRA's predecessor made this statement(FT)
It was a lie
Motive was to manipulate the market by misleading investors, including pension funds & staff. It's why FCA has blocked the investigation of HBOS & deleted the statement

The failure of the FCA and PRA to take any action against the executives who led HBOS to collapse – including James Crosby, Andy Hornby and Lord [Dennis] Stevenson – even though their negligence and coverups cost taxpayers an initial £21bn is . a . disgrace.

Former HBOS boss Andy Hornby refuses to answer questions thismon.ee/a/11194329 via @ThisIsMoney but this story is far from over. The fact the FCA are wilfully blind doesn't change the facts and however long it takes the truth will out. #HBOS #FCA

Whatever your views about the Monarchy, this day will go down in history as the end of an era and a sad day for the United Kingdom.
Rest in peace #QueenElizabeth
Can a bank crisis break your heart? shar.es/aftHgD Critical paper written in 2008. Imagine how much worse when Bank policy is to deliberately set out to ruin #SMEs and investors and then the #FCA lets them off scott free.
It's now almost 5 years since the defendants in the #HBOS Reading trials were convicted - many of the 6 convicted are out or soon will be. The majority of victims have still not been compensated. Justice? I don't think so.
To the best of my knowledge 5 of the 6 are out and the majority of the victims have not been compensated. The stress of this saga has been horrendous and worse than a prison sentence. I know, I have no fingers or toes as a result. Meanwhile #HBOS bosses have nothing to answer for

In a classic GOOD DAY TO BURY BAD NEWS
@bankofengland has decided to take no action against the senior managers who ran HBOS before its failure in 2008

The mandatory vaccination U-turn for NHS staff doesn’t seem quite so certain when you read the small print
‘There will be a consultation & subject to those responses & the will of the House the Govt will revoke the regulations’
That is not quite as definitive as was leaked.
That's the terrifying thing - the Government used behavioural psychologists to frighten people into compliance of the sinister and the absurd. And because some in Gov knew that's what was done, they felt happy to party because they knew it was a construct. Very sick behaviour.

For my first ever tweet I’d like to share this and say thank you to those who campaigned long and hard. Especially glad it will also allow care home staff to go back to work. telegraph.co.uk/politics/202…

A huge win. My backbench colleagues & I have been pushing hard to spare the sack for tens of thousands of NHS & care workers.
It beggars belief that the PM & Health Secretary kept insisting on bulldozing this policy through, despite warnings of staff shortages, for so long.

Very sad to hear Joni Mitchell has joined such a banal debate. You need to listen to Joe Rogan Joni before you just join in with an old friend.
One thing that's become clear over the last two Covid years - one good friend is an absolute blessing in dire times while fire by night friends who are just there when they need you are plentiful. I am so lucky to have a handful of really good friends.

Yes I’m talking about you Polly Hudson, @emilysheffield and @afneil .
Your divisive, discriminatory attacks on the unvaccinated will take many years to undo.
We risk opening racial and class divides like never seen before.
Stop this ✋🏼
