Brilliant unexpected end to the summer holidays - @lukehaines.bsky.social & legendary guitarist #PeterBuck of @remhq.bsky.social at #TheFerret #Preston. Had been on the waiting list, but a ticket became available. It'd be to hear them on @stereounderground.bsky.social @richardlatto.bsky.social

It happens every summer. One year, I didn't even get around to writing my things to do list. However, I have bought two more copies of #NomadCentury for young people who will be going to university soon. www.hive.co.uk/Product/Gaia... @wanderinggaia.bsky.social

💷 Why bother cancelling debt? Won't it just build up again?

We need to reform the system to achieve debt justice.

For #Jubilee2025, we've been campaigning on debt justice.

Sometimes, we get asked difficult questions on the topic. Our Lead Economist Maria responds to some of the most common messages we've received.

In this Jubilee year, it’s vital that MPs hear the voices of people of faith.

At today’s #ActNowChangeForever mass lobby, we made our call loud and clear to MPs: cancel the debts of countries hit hardest by the climate crisis.

"The Ofcom study involved 38 men, and more misogynistic men may have declined to take part." That's a very small sample - even less reliable than the surveys in shampoo adverts.

Poor countries borrow at higher interest rates than their richer counterparts and become trapped by debt as a result.

It's time for debt justice. Join the campaign. ⤵️

"Shouldn't debts just be repaid?

Poor countries already repaid their original debts - but unfair interest keeps them trapped."

"Private lenders charge poor nations 6-10% interest, while rich nations borrow at 0-1%"

What should the world's poorest countries spend their limited funds on? 💸

The current global debt crisis has them paying huge repayments on high-interest loans rather than vital services. This Jubilee year, join us in calling for debt justice. ⤵️

"The world's poorest countries are forced to spend more on payments to big banks, wealth nations and global institutions than they spend on health and education."
