Earlier this week I met 100-year-old Harold who was recently reunited with a suitcase he made as a young pattern maker during the Second World War
He'd forgotten all about it until his carer, with an affinity for antiques, happened upon it in a local charity shop

⚠ The active travel budget has just been cut by two-thirds ⚠
It’s heartbreaking to see vital active travel budgets being wiped away in England, at the exact time when they are most essential. It simply doesn’t make sense.👇

I've been a customer since before they were Monzo and lately the team has been on fire with helpful, timely updates (savings account 👀) and new features (physical Monzo flex credit card 💪).
