Good to see initiatives like this @RoyalMintUK
help the UK build the road map to a more sustainable circular economy! 👏👏
Did you know - a record 62 million tonnes of e-waste was produced in 2022, up 82% from 2010. ♻️
And this is set to rise another 32% to 82 million tonnes in 2030. 📈

Hope people are safe tonight. If you are on here glorifying violence, inciting people to participate in violence and posting vitriol to scare the living daylights out of people shame on you.
Violence and misinformation spreads only if given oxygen and fuel. @X shame on you.

Collaboration is king; the opportunity is big; start somewhere. These were some of our key takeaways from the @Fair4AllFinance #financialinclusion conference. Thank you for the @FairforYouCIC & @IcelandFoods food club shout out!
Recently we brought together over 200 leaders from across financial services, community finance, public sector and third sector organisations at our first ever #FinancialInclusion conference.
Here are our six key takeaways from the day. What were yours?

"The Fair Banking Act would expand responsible lending to underserved communities either directly or via partnerships with ethical lenders such as Fair for You."
Great to see this recommendation in @FairCreditChty's white paper. #FairBankingForAll

🚨 Nearly 1/2 of UK adults are living in financially vulnerable circumstances. @Fair4AllFinance's new report highlights the growing scale and severity of debt and financial insecurity. It's time for urgent action and inclusive solutions! #FairFinance

It is concerning that irresponsible or unaffordable lending is a key driver in a sharp rise in complaints against financial firms.
The number of complaints about irresponsible lending more than trebled the last year, @financialombuds says 👇

Thank you to colleagues from both @AskNationwide and @NatWestGroup for meeting us over the last two weeks to speak about our new whitepaper on credit exclusion.
We want to make sure that nobody in the banking sector is ignorant of this problem.

9m people in the UK have no savings. Fair credit is a vital lifeline that's inaccessible for many. We believe that banks can do more to support those financially excluded. Find out more in our whitepaper 👉t.ly/oDUMx #faircredit

Day 39 and we can end the misery legal loan sharks cause for millions who get stuck in a cycle of debt - if you vote Labour you can help take on the BNPL lenders whose exploitation of millions of consumers has been indulged by Tory ministers.

The Churchill quote about America works so well for @RishiSunak - he can always be relied upon to do the right thing once he’s exhausted all the other possibilities

Self interest before country. Investigations into Tory insiders betting on the election date bring back other allegations of sleaze eg Covid contracts going to mates #MichelleMone, Housing Minister Jenrick overturning planning decision to benefit a party donor, #PartyGate.

If this were football…
Sunak’s aide would face a lifetime ban from football
But that’s because we hold footballers to a higher standard than our politicians.

Where you bank does make a difference. Twenty of the world's biggest banks have allocated a total of over $2 trillion in loans to fossil fuels since the Paris Agreement was struck in 2015.

Cadbury are celebrating 200 years today. John Cadbury and his sons were pioneers in worker welfare. Cadbury provided educational opportunities, shop committees for employee issues, savings vehicles like the Bournville Pension Fund and sick pay. Something we should be very proud of in the West Midlands!
Cadbury was officially founded 200 years ago today.
John Cadbury opened a grocers shop selling drinking chocolate in 1824.
Moving to Bournville 55 years later, it quickly became the biggest chocolate maker in the world.

Final meeting of the year with @PaulcowleyMBE our Director of Rehabilitation: he’s conducted 550 face-to-face interviews with men & women across 61 UK prisons, and offered 307 jobs. An amazing first year for our Second Chance Initiative giving ex-offenders hope.
