Bank coalition demands voice in Labour financial services review
Tuesday, 12 December 2023 A coalition which includes some of Britain's best-known banks is demanding representation in a Labour Party financial services policy review which is dominated by the bosses of FTSE 100 companies.
Green Party co-leader Adrian Ramsay claims Labour is "getting it wrong" in "so many areas". He says: "We promised to hold the new Government to account where we think they are off track, where they could and should be doing more, where we think greater ambition is needed to deliver the positive, inspiring change that people urgently want to see".
