1/đź§µHigh-cost credit is holding people & #SMEs back. In @politicshome, @gareththomasMP calls for government action to expand #AffordableCredit - tackling the cost of living crisis & supporting growth through a #FairBankingAct. #FairBankingForAll https://t.co/676Alulcsx

Brilliant news! Well done @gareththomasMP - this Bill would be a real game changer for the millions who have been forced into the arms of illegal lenders and loan sharks. It would also transform the prospects for the responsible banking alternatives we so desperately need.

This video by the @CoopParty clearly and simply explains why people are denied credit for the 'ordinary moments' in life - and why government must introduce legislation that genuinely tackles the problem. @gareththomasMP  #AffordableCredit #FairBankingForAll
