Battery storage costs have plummeted. Solar is cheap. UK rooftops have 117 GW of potential. Solar + batteries can be installed quickly. Just what we need when horrendous wars remind us we need to get off fossil fuels as soon as possible. about.bnef.com/insights/clean…

This is also why we're calling for a #FairBankingAct - to help remove barriers which stop credit unions and other purpose-finance institutions from growing and thriving.
Co-operative Party@CoopParty

Britain gave the world the co-operative movement. So why do only 3% of us belong to a credit union, against 75% in Ireland, 48% in the USA, 43% in Canada? Credit union membership is growing, but the common bond cap is holding credit unions back. It's time for common bond reform.

.@The_TUC Pensions Conference has got to be the best in town. Key topics include: how the Government's reforms will make pensions work for people on lower incomes; how workers can have greater control over their savings; and how to overcome all the "waffle"! #TUCPensions2026

The stigma of being in debt often keeps people silent. In fact, nearly half of people tell no-one. We need to change that. Join us in challenging stigma around debt and help people access the support they need. #daw2026 #debtawarenessweek #debt #debtadvice

It's great to see more action from govt in support of community finance. We want to see a #FairBankingAct so thousands more businesses can get the support they need to grow and thrive. Find out more here - financeinnovationlab.org/our-work/grow/… #FairBankingForAll @FBfACampaign

Community banks unlock funding for small businesses & provide affordable loans when people need them most. They’re a powerful force in the US but still far too limited here in the UK. That needs to change. @resp_finance @TheFinanceLab @CoopParty 🧵1/3 cityam.com/small-business…

"5.2 billion people live in countries where debt payments are higher than total social spending." We are in the midst of the "worst debt crisis ever" - and we need fundamental reform to fix it & stop another happening. Powerful from @MatthewMartinUK equals.ink/p/debt-justice…

Even after the UK phased out coal power, pension schemes are still financing coal overseas. This risks savers’ money and the climate — which is why peers are calling for stronger Government action via the Pension Schemes Bill. 👉 filab.uk/4rUMbU1 @LINGOInitiative

UK pension funds are still financing coal expansion abroad — despite the UK phasing out coal at home. “It is absurd that our pension funds continue to finance its expansion overseas.” Our new briefing shows why it’s time to divest. 👉 filab.uk/3O07Qvn

More than £10.5bn of UK pension savings are invested in thermal coal - the world’s dirtiest fossil fuel. That’s bad for pension savers, the economy, and the climate. Read our new research with @LINGOInitiative filab.uk/3ZNdX8O

This new UN report is truly shocking: globally, THIRTY TIMES as much finance flows to nature-destroying activities as to nature-supporting activities. Finance harmful to nature reached $7.3 trillion, while investments in nature-based solutions were only $0.22 trillion in 2023.

Without changes to ensure everyone can save enough, pensioner poverty will only grow. We’re developing proposals for a minimum pension saving level which could deliver a decent retirement income for all. Read our latest blog: filab.uk/3O0pOh1 #FairPensions
