We must keep the #CostOfLiving on the agenda.

Yesterday, @gareththomasmp.bsky.social told the Commons “Millions of people and thousands of small businesses are locked out of #AffordableCredit” - and said the new Financial Services Bill could be a step toward fixing this.

Too many small businesses still struggle to access the finance they need to grow.

CDFIs are stepping in where mainstream lenders fall short. A #FairBankingAct could help scale their role and widen access to fair, affordable credit.

📢 The government’s Financial Inclusion Strategy is out. Some practical steps on #AffordableCredit are welcome, but it still falls short of the scale of change needed.

A #FairBankingAct would provide the clear, measurable framework this issue deserves.

Text says 1 YEAR AGO MICHAEL SHEEN PAID OFF THE DEBTS OF HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE IN PORT TALBOT So what’s happened since then? > A photograph shows Michael Sheen standing, looking at the camera, in front of a tale with piles of bank notes on top of it. Text says: Michael Sheen used his own money to wipe off a million pounds’ worth of debt. But he didn’t do it just to make a difference to people’s lives. He did it to shine a spotlight on the fact that the whole system needs to change. A photograph shows Michael Sheen sitting at a table smiling, in conversation with two older men with mugs in front of them. Text says "MORE IMPORTANT THAN ANYTHING IS TO MAKE A STATEMENT, TO SAY THAT WE NEED A FAIR CREDIT SYSTEM." Michael Sheen Michael joined the Fair Banking for All Campaign, a coalition of organisations calling for a Fair Banking Act. Text says A Fair Banking Act would mean that banks have to disclose information on who they lend to, and be given a rating based on whether they’re lending fairly. If banks get a poor rating, they’d have to take action - they could either expand their own affordable credit programmes, or work with ethical, not-for-profit lenders like credit unions & CDFIs. A photograph shows Michael Sheen wearing a coat and scarf, speaking to the camera, with one fist raised.

The poverty premium costs each parliamentary constituency £4.5million per year.

@fairbydesign.bsky.social recommends a #FairBankingAct as a way to increase access to affordable credit and reduce the #povertypremium in this new briefing.

A group of nine people stands together in a wood-panelled parliamentary room with ornate red and gold wallpaper. They are dressed in business or smart-casual attire, wearing orange visitor lanyards. Two banners in the background display the text "Fair Banking for All" and "APPG Fair Banking." Among the group, actor and activist Michael Sheen is visible wearing a green jacket. The individuals are smiling and posing for the photo, standing behind a table with microphones and a computer monitor.

This will mean millions more people can become credit union members and have access to affordable credit - helping families avoid high-cost credit and build financial resilience. A big win for financial inclusion.
