Now the Parliamentary dust has settled
Following the hiatus of a General Election, now seemed like a good time to say thank you to all the supporters of the 2356percent campaign who have been in touch in recent weeks asking what's next for our call for fair short-term lending in the UK.
Over the course of the last few months our campaign has gathered the support of more than 440 members at our Facebook group and 31 MPs supported Greg Mulholland's Early Day Motion calling for fair payday loans.
In addition, we have been invited to meet with the founder and CEO of Wonga.com, Errol Damelin, to discuss the issues of payday loans and fair short-term credit in the UK. Details of the meeting with Wonga will be published here first. Wonga are waiting for me to confirm a convenient time to meet and I intend to do so this week.
Parliamentary support remains an important focus for the campaign. The re-election of supporters like Liberal Democrats Greg Mulholland MP and Jo Swinson MP, and the election of the UK's first Green Party MP, Caroline Lucas, and Labour's Stephen Twigg MP could prove vital.
