Not everyone benefits economically from UK higher education – and this matters: @omaromalleykhan, @taso_he chief executive, says persistent earning gaps by gender, ethnicity and socio-economic background are unfair to individuals and a drag on the economy

[BBC London @BBCLondonNews]

Research by Fair4All Finance shows almost two in five Londoners are in "financially vulnerable circumstances", meaning they may find it harder to access credit from mainstream lenders.

Thanks #politicsLondon for highlighting the challenges that many financially excluded Londoners face

[Faisel Rahman @faiselr]

Academic study shows that paying politicians more reduces corruption, which is great
But opens them up to criminal violence, which is not so great

Biden is really broadening his coalition 😂

[Joe Biden @JoeBiden]

I approve this message.

[Faisel Rahman @faiselr]

Pretty interesting to see BofE noting that the recent Interest Rate rises are impacting renters more than owners...
..While acknowledging that renters are younger and poorer..
..But not really doing anything about it

With one person very publicly joining the 1.2 million people without a bank account, what does @faiselr recommend? Take a read: https://t.co/uRGQa7T1Ky

Nigel Farage joins the 1.2m unbanked in the UK

The cost of being unbanked can affect employment, housing & benefits

Hopefully he can add his voice to the large numbers of homeless, ex prisoners, refugees and recent migrants who also share the same fate

"In a pre-covid yr around 20,000 people would come to @fairfinance alone looking for finance support when they couldn't get it from a bank & in the last year alone we saw 134,000."

The first dead fish, just south of Lea Bridge Weir, on the Lea Navigation.
Dissolved oxygen levels fell below 10% last night.
The amounts of pollution washed off the roads by the rain exceeds the river's capacity to cope.
London's doing too little to tackle this problem.
