Andrew Bailey of Financial Conduct Authority poses question why were Barings directors sanctioned and not @RBS @AskLloydsBank @AskHalifaxBank ? Ironic as he has powers to do just that #TheUntouchables APPG on Fair Banking dailym.ai/2PExWkD via @ThisIsMoney

Certainly not too late for an inquiry into RBS. Hardly ancient history. Most of the key players are alive and seem to be doing rather well. APPG on Fair Banking

This case seeks to prove to MPs there is a painless alternative. Without one, it's hard to imagine how we might Remain. Please support it. crowdjustice.com/case/strengthe…

This is disgraceful. Home Office has turned down Mariana Mazzucato's residency application. She's a UCL prof & member of Scottish Government Council of Economic Advisers, who's brimming with workable ideas for making the UK a better place to live and work x.com/MazzucatoM/sta…

Iceland's Christmas TV about rainforest destruction banned for being too political This is a disgrace. How can protecting life on Earth be ‘too political’? More likely it challenges vested interests that are too powerful theguardian.com/media/2018/nov…

Apparently, advertising products containing palm oil is not political - but an advert that informs viewers about the environmental destruction caused by palm oil is “too political” to be screened?? Probably best if we all watch it now then I guess

Press Release regarding our client Shahmir Sanni (Shahmir Sanni), further to the piece by Carole Cadwalladr in the Observer this morning. Peter Daly (Peter Daly) acting for Mr Sanni, instructing Schona Jolly QC (Schona Jolly KC).

So according to Sky News it's NOT 50,000 new nurses, but 19,000 who are already there...... ...........🙈 doesn't seem to be a Trade Descriptions Act for politics......... BUT, there's always the ballot box☺

Michael Gove and Boris Johnson's father, Stanley, appear at Channel 4 News before tonight's #ClimateDebate.

He has either not read the advice from the Treasury or isn’t telling the truth. Probably both.

He didn’t get the new Brexit deal by bullying/impressing/charming the EU. He got it by agreeing to protect their single market on island of Ireland after Brexit by putting a customs border down the Irish Sea. Allowing a ‘division’ between NIreland + GB he’d pledged never to do /2

This is where we’re at now. Nauseating xenophobia.

No one should need a food bank. I’m pledging to protect people from hunger by ensuring we all have enough money for the basics. Our next govt must work towards a future where no one needs a food bank. #ThisCanChange #GE2019 #GeneralElection19

Your PM has form on this, Joe. He grabbed my notes during a public interview about Brexit in Dublin last January. I suggested he hang on to them as they might come in handy. B

Julia Hartley-Brewer Broad Sword But this is better...

Embarrassment for Lloyds Banking Group; its compensation process for victims of the £1bn Reading fraud found to have added insult to injury. Independent review found the bank's compensation scheme did not provide "fair or reasonable" recompense to those ruined by the scam.

Given the FCA commissioned Sir Ross's review, this surely has to be the last time a bank is allowed to run its own redress scheme to atone for its own sins.

Today, Boris Johnson has again declared that he is going to be “tough on serious crime”. By which he means he will make prison sentences a bit longer. FWIW, I’d suggest that any politician who really cared about improving criminal justice might start with the following. [THREAD]
