That is what Banks collected in last 3 years just for not maintaining ‘Minimum Account Balance.’
Not from the rich. Not from big borrowers.
From the poorest accounts in the system.

In Parliament today I proposed ending minimum balance penalties so the banking system stops charging people for their poverty.
