I did once get paid to review a Jackie Mason gig for a local paper but I’m more chuffed to have my (freely given) review of @BlodwensInTown featured on her latest promo materials. Go see her, she’s hilarious and talented.

@thinkcomms continues to make the case for not for profit community lenders as an ethical alternative to loan sharks and commercial high cost providers. Coverage across the day on BBC1 in London as provision expands in the capital @resp_finance @CityBridgeFndn @Fair4AllFinance
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. @JessicaMCUre | #politicslondon | bbc.in/3RUAbTx

I know I should be tired at this hour but I’m buzzing from spending the day with incredible participants of @faithinlship Senior Faith Leaders Programme. And being hosted at Windsor Castle is the icing on the cake. Huge scope within this growing network of purpose-led leaders.

Currently listening to patients speak @BritSocHaem ASM as part of a session for medics on attentive listening. Have been listening myself to doctors and nurses on haematology workforce issues over two days. Always enjoy hearing stories from behind a camera.

Thanks to @ionayoungmoney for raising awareness of community finance providers on @BBCMorningLive and for highlighting @FairforYouCIC’s Food Club with @IcelandFoods. Super clear explanations.
Did you see @ionayoungmoney on @BBCMorningLive yesterday? She was discussing low cost loans, #CreditUnions, #CDFIs and how they're a safe and responsible alternative to illegal moneylenders 👇

“With over 1.4 million people using Credit Unions in the UK, they’re helping people navigate the difficult times, and helping them plan for the future too.” Great insight below about the purpose and value the movement provides for its members from @EnterpriseCU CEO, @ecu_karen

Did you catch @ionayoungmoney's first column of the year in Metro? She looks at the issues facing young people who may struggle to access mainstream credit and the challenges that brings, and how the ethical community finance sector could be a big help. metro.co.uk/2023/01/16/credi…

A new report from @Fair4AllFinance highlights the positive impact of the support banks provided to customers during the pandemic and calls for some of these measures to be re-introduced or modified to help people navigate the #CostOfLivingCrisis and beyond.

An exclusive survey for @itvnews reveals that borrowing from some of the UK’s biggest credit unions has increased by almost £33m since last year. With the cost of living continuing to rise and Christmas approaching, some are borrowing just to manage. @Chrisitv reports

Replying to @wizzair
@wizzair it’s not possible to submit a complaint on your website. When you select a subject, the complaint text box disappears. Amazingly, I was able to submit only if I selected Compliments as the subject. Hope my complaint is dealt with.

The complaint itself related to your faulty website which would not allow me to check in online on repeated attempts. Other passengers told me they had the same problem. Forced to pay £75 at the airport for the privilege of a boarding pass.
Stop using Oxford commas, Thérèse Coffey tells Department of Health I quite agree with ⁦@theresecoffey⁩ ‘s style guide but reckon she’s got bigger fish to fry. thetimes.co.uk/article/5a950…

Sneak peek of a front page story about the NHS-Galleri trial. It’s incredibly exciting to run the press office for this cancer screening trial which has the potential to save so many lives in the UK and elsewhere. @CancerPrev_KCL
