Great to hear Theo Hadjimichael from @resp_finance speaking at this Treasury Select Committee Enquiry, highlighting how legislation in the US has supported CDFI growth - exactly what could be achieved in the UK with a Fair Banking Act. #FairBankingForAll

@pzparker @IanDunt Is it a progressive Labour policy if only very rich parents can afford private education? If they believe private education is a social bad, then surely they should abolish it altogether?
