We’re in the worst global debt crisis for 30 years. Money spent on debt is money stolen from education, clean water, and healthcare. Debt cancellation could mean 17M with clean water, 5M kids in school, and 59,000 lives saved. World leaders must #CancelDebtChooseHope

2025 marks a Jubilee year and a pivotal time for global debt justice. It’s the first Jubilee since the Drop the Debt campaign won $130bn in relief—and the need has never been greater. With key international meetings happening, now is the moment for action. https://buff.ly/4jnufxR

Thank you @bambosmp.bsky.social for hosting the debate in parliament and sponsoring the Debt Relief Bill. The bill "would have a significant impact on low-income countries and could be transformative in allowing money spent on servicing debt to go into health & education systems"

“A debt crisis caused by global factors — a debt crisis that is leading to more poverty, more hunger and war.” Many thanks @jeevunsandher.bsky.social for a powerful speech in Thursday's debate in parliament on debt cancellation

Govt's plans are like fighting a forest fire by offering a water pistol in ten years’ time. The UK needs to demand deeper debt cancellation and pass legislation to suspend repayments during negotiations, so that no creditor can boycott debt relief. More here: debtjustice.org.uk/press-releas...

Private creditors managed to push Suriname into giving up hundreds of millions in future oil revenues. And government creditors response to that was not: "No way as that means private lenders will be repaid far more than us." But: "We want a piece of that action too."
