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.

Good morning @faiselr great to see you on the tv this morning. Looking good 😊 Thanks #politicslondon for spotlighting the role of #SocEnt in building fairer communities, financial inclusion and a better world.

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

It was great to be able to help people in their time of need in this way - thanks @NatWestGroup and @resp_finance in supporting us to deliver part of this Programme
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

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.
