The end of free ATMs? Not if we can help it

Dear John, Did you know we’ve lost 5,644 free-to-use cash machines across the country in just 12 months? [1] It’s because the big banks and card companies are chasing bigger profits, and - worse still - because until now the gove…

Conservative Party Conference 2019

Dear John, Right now, money and banking reform isn’t high enough up the Conservative Party agenda. Many Conservative politicians would agree we have a climate crisis, a housing crisis and a crisis of inequality. But too many don’…

Help us get face to face with MPs

Hi John,  It’s pretty shocking. In the UK, household debt is at a record high and 1 in 5 children are living in poverty. [1] If a chaotic Brexit pushes us into another re cession, we're in even worse shape than 2008 to handle it. We can't afford …
