Danny Welbeck becomes only the 8th player to play for at least three of the "top 6" - can you name the other seven @liam_twomey @SJohnsonSport @MattDaviesAdams @SOCobhamPod
And six of them played for Chelsea. #journeymen Could make for a wonderfully torturous pod quiz question with @reallycerys ?
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
Really excited to be part of the first #EIIPTraining cohort with the @TheSocialInvest - a practical training course on how to bring equality principles into impact investing. Buzzing!

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…
