Hi folks,

Just thought you may be interested in my latest blog - I was asked to write an opinion piece for the house magazine, which is read by 70% of MPs.
(preferably if you reply, can you do it in the blog thread not here)

    I agree with the message completely, however, politicians are kept in jobs because of things like banks, and the ignorance of people.

    So maybe this will fall on deaf ears, hopefully not

    Also you made one mistake in your column, people do have one place to turn to to help them with your finances :)
