Lloyds Bank CEO latest banking boss in line for huge pay and bonus hike to £13m.

Last year Barclays boss got 45% rise, HSBC 43%, NatWest 43%.

Govts preach pay restraint to workers. No curbs on profiteering, exec pay, dividends, share buybacks.

Most of UK’s big build-to-rent developers owned by foreign private equity firms.

They don't build for families or the poor.

In a first, we went live for 3½ hrs following a 'trail' hunt in real time with Northants Hunt Sabs – it gained huge reach and dominated conversation online. Many were surprised that illegal fox hunting still takes place, even now, in 2024. #RealBanNow 🦊
