On Burns night, and at all times, take heart friends of democracy from “A Man’s A Man For A’ That” www.scottishpoetrylibrary.org.uk/poem/mans-ma... … As relevant today as it was 1795 when the democracy, freedoms and rights we enjoy today were but abstract notions for the many.

Confidence and trust in UK financial services is paramount and I respect Tulip Siddiq for stepping down from her role to avoid any perception of conflict of interest. I hope that the financial inclusion and mutual sector initiatives championed by Tulip will progress at speed to benefit UK consumers

Thread 🧵 It’s December 3rd and International Day of Persons with Disabilities with its theme of “ Amplifying the leadership of persons with disabilities for an inclusive and sustainable future “ … For many of us, upwards of 23% of our working age population …

Government language and message matters and I suggest DWP rethink 👇 … “ if you have a health condition or disability but don’t want to be written off we will offer you a pathway back to work” … Really DWP? … As you know, many people with disabilities are unable to work, are they to be written off?
