[Alys Denby @alysdenby]

Only the People's Channel @GBNEWS recognises that the one thing fit to accompany the biggest story of the day - the heroic rescue of Denby- is footage of me at Christmas talking about how much the Chancellor has harmed retail.

Outlets using pictures of pots are cowards.

Scoop w/ pubs maestro @felixKarmstrong : A family-owned brewery with deep connections to Tottenham's football community has fallen into administration.

It comes after heaps of pressure on the industry from soaring costs and gov. policy.

🕵🏻‍♂️ Not since the keen-eyed Inspector Goole shattered the comfortable illusions of the Edwardian elite has an uninvited guest threatened to sour a private feast’s mood so sharply.

🚨 NEW: Catherine West says Keir Starmer could win a leadership contest and does not rule out voting for him

"Many of us like Keir very much... he's got excellent credentials on the international stage"

Taking our seats for the 1st time @Catherinewest1 & @wesstreeting

[Samuel Norman @samnormanwrites]

Though it seems for the likes of Close Brothers, Lloyds, Barclays and more the issue might finally be able to be put to rest. Most of the banks have said their current provisions will hold up… though questions remain around one in particular.

New: The FLA - motor finance trade body - confirms it will NOT be challenging the FCA’s redress scheme. After confirmation as well from the big banks it wraps up pretty much any challenge from the industry side.

Shanika Amarasekara, Chief Executive of the FLA said ⤵️

[Samuel Norman @samnormanwrites]

Let’s not forget the FCA will still be staring down a challenge from the consumer side.

[Samuel Norman @samnormanwrites]

The two banks that took the motor finance scandal to the highest court in the land are hoping to drive off into the sunset and leave the saga in the dust.

I took a look at how likely that ending is and the bumpy road that got us here.

It’s off to the races in the battle to bank Britain and I take a look in my column in today’s @CityAM

The challenger’s claws are out in sly digs at the incumbent giants - but should they be threatened?
