  @stephenpollard Think you made a big error here. NatWest got bailed out in the financial crisis so think that is a counter to your argument without the state it wouldnt exist and shareholders would have got nothing. Also industries like rail and water just can’t be made competitive. I can’t get Scot’s rail when I want to get a train in london or use Thames water in Leeds cos I don’t want to use Yorkshire water. I am 100% capitalist and set up multiple companies from scratch and employed a bunch of people but it doesn’t work for everything. Also the best rail companies in the world are state owned and many state owned foreign companies bought up many of the companies thatcher sold off. So that makes no sense anyway

  @RaoSumukh the thing is this pose and everything around it feels good creatively only in that moment when India chased down England’s formidable target of 325/5 to win the 2002 NatWest Series Final at Lord's.

  @_dobbsey And those working for NatWest in their shittier branches… as I experienced today when I heard a staff member practically yelling somebody’s address.

  @peterjukes This was literally 3 years ago, the article states the short position was held since the spring of 2023 before the announcement that coutts closed his account. If Farage got the letter in June 2023 but they were already shorting NatWest, then this will be a non-issue.

  Joint borrowers earning £150,000+ can now borrow up to 6.5× their income. NatWest will lend at 6.5× for higher earners, but only if they’re borrowing 75% LTV or less. Pros Higher borrowing power — High income earners can access larger mortgages, which helps in expensive markets like London where property prices are high. More competitive offering — NatWest becomes more attractive to wealthy buyers who might otherwise go to specialist lenders. Useful for joint high earners — Couples earning £150k+ combined can stretch further to buy homes in premium areas. Potentially better rates — The article notes NatWest often has best buy rates, so borrowers may get both a high LTI and a good interest rate. Cons Higher financial risk — Borrowing 6.5x income is a big commitment. If interest rates rise or income drops, repayments can become stressful. Lower LTV allowed — To borrow at 6.5x, you must have at least a 25% deposit. That’s a huge barrier for many people. Only for high earners — This doesn’t help average income buyers struggling with affordability. It widens the gap between who can and can’t buy. Could push prices up — Allowing people to borrow more can fuel higher property prices, especially in already expensive areas. This move is good for wealthy buyers who want bigger loans, but it does nothing for regular earners and may even increase market pressure. It’s a strategic play by NatWest to attract high income clients, not a broad affordability solution.

  £200 Billion GBP just left my account to pay for everyone university debt from 1999 up until 2026 in both the UK and America. It’s fine, I’ve been making some wise investments lately and NatWest are paying me well, and I earnt quite a bit by selling Barclays back to the Baron’s. So I’m good for it, plus on top of the tour and then the vegas shows, I’ll be able to support both Elle, I and our daughter from my income. So, I’m good for it. Lot’s of changes, as this earth spins, everyday, and let’s just make the spins count. - King Oseary - @AP

  @NatWest_Help Hi Louise, thank you for your response. The card is not a NatWest card—it's an Ebix Cash Forex Card issued in India. I have already contacted the card provider, and they advised me to speak with the ATM owner/bank to see if the card can be retrieved. All of my money for my stay in the UK is on that card, so I'm finding it very difficult to manage without access to my funds. I would really appreciate any help or guidance you can provide regarding whether the card can be recovered from the ATM at Tesco, 825 High Road, Leyton, E10 7AA. Thank you for your time and assistance. 🙏🏻

  @NatWest_Help 35 years as a NatWest personal and business customer and zero understanding of my business or the support you’d expect from your bank. Utterly aghast…..

  @WSJ NatWest expecting income at the top end of guidance after 9.5% growth is a strong signal that UK banking is in a surprisingly healthy position. higher interest rates have been painful for borrowers but banks are thriving on the margin between what they pay depositors and what they charge on loans. the structural hedge giving them protection means they keep earning even when rates eventually come down. UK banks havent looked this profitable in years
