A thought...
UK banks deliberately, systemically, missold, by script, over £40bn of PPI, ripping money out of the hands of the public including many vulnerable people - no bank CEO resigned.
You'll be seeing a lot of our Volunteer Coordinator this summer, she'll be popping up in local libraries.

This morning I spoke out alongside @MikeAmesburyMP, @dis_positive and @RMTunion against the proposed ticket office closures at Northwich Station.
There's still time to make your voice heard:

Our local train station (Northwich) is included in the stations affected, not only is one side of the platform inaccessible for disabled people, but now there may be no ticket office - the automated machines don't' always work either!
Train travel is hard enough for disabled ppl

We want a world that is 'Disability Positive' and totally agree we're a long way off... but we'll get there. We just need to educate and 'normalise' that everyone is unique with or without a disability.
👏 @LewisCapaldi thank you!

IMPORTANT: University costs are to rise 50% for many students from England starting this year and after. I've just published my new detailed help guide & analysis... https://t.co/czVqKEvRQc
Pls share with any prospective students who'll start the new few years & their families.
And do feedback if you understand it and if not which bits, its my first go, it's big, so feedback and constructive criticism (on the guide not the system) is welcome
@MartinSLewis If helping is monetary- keep schtum 🤐
