Is this the most ill-advised away kit in history? Almost half way through the season and @ChelseaFC still haven't worn it. When there's no clash they'll wear blue, and when there is a clash they won't wear it because... It's also blue? Mad decision! @SJohnsonSport @liam_twomey

More @bankofengland research shows that financial regulation is poorly designed for smaller banks bankunderground.co.uk/2021/0… This is something policy makers can change post-Brexit, esp to support purpose-driven banks @TonyGreenham @Fionntsmith @GemmaLouiseBon1 @MSensier @APPGbanking

The Chancellor says austerity was needed to save fiscal space to respond to the pandemic. That it "enabled @hmtreasury to fund a comprehensive package of support for the economy when needed."
We @NEF did a #FactCheck. Appears the @bankofengland provided all this "fiscal space".

Brilliant new piece from @cjayanetti @openDemocracy (and featuring our @JesseLGriffiths!) shines a light on the major battle brewing over the future of the UK's financial services: "competitiveness" vs supporting the real economy, society and environment opendemocracy.net/en/ourecon…

£10,000 of free communications support is up for grabs for purpose-driven banking orgs, from @TheFinanceLab and @TeamspiritGroup with the #ForTheBetter award! This support was invaluable for @AvonMutual, well worth a look filab.uk/forthebetter2021

For anyone who cares about the future of UK banks that give a damn, this is smart and snappy summary of the scene - and what's stopping it from taking off. Kudos to @GemmaLouiseBon1 and the team @TheFinanceLab financeinnovationlab.org/wp-…

Anne Boden's autobiography is a brilliant read for anyone in the banking, tech, or startup worlds. Here's five lessons I took from Banking On It.

The Times carried a story over the wknd about the new breed of payday lenders entering the market. These companies are making a fortune off the backs of people whose finances have been rendered vulnerable since the pandemic. This must not be the new normal thetimes.co.uk/article/new-b…

Fantastic work on community banking and resilience coming out of @theRSAorg right now. Proud to be a part of the movement for better banking.

Countries with strong traditions of regional or community stakeholder banks were able to support businesses better during Covid-19. To level-up Britain, we need community banking to get more credit into local small & medium sized businesses. #RSAbridges thersa.org/discover/publicat…

Good evening, #DevonHour folks!
It continues to be a trying time for people and organisations, families and businesses alike across the South West. We hope you're all doing okay.
Here's a double rainbow we spotted mid-storm last week in #Devon 🌈⛈🌈
