the board of the bank said that we have consonant in alison rose to continue leading the bank.on that show to say that it wasn't good enough. he said that she broke client conventionality and that she needed to go. a few hours later, there was an emergency board meeting, at1:20pm, —— 1:20am, there was an emergency board meeting, at1:20pm, ——1:20am, a bizarre time to get statements, let alone from this kind of country, we got a statement to say that she had departed. bbc news had understood that downing street had serious concerns about her leadership. why does that matter? because the uk taxpayer is still a a0% shareholder, the major shareholder in natwest. when you have lost confidence in terms of your major step shareholder, the government, then you have to go. it was right for her to go, but there are questions now of what happened behind—the—scenes to lead to these changes in status, fought nigel farage, and he says, for thousands of other people like him. we for thousands of other people like him. ~ . ,, ., ., ~ him. we had keir starmer talking there saying _ him. we had k

is that the entire board not just dame alison rose , but the entire dame alison rose, but the entiren? >> well, i mean , there are >> well, i mean, there are financial implications ions for that. financial implications ions for that . and the financial that. and the financial implications would actually affect the entire financial services sector, which is one of the reasons why i suspect the government won't want the entire board of natwest to stand down. it's undoubtedly , sadly true it's undoubtedly, sadly true that this is a god almighty mess andifs that this is a god almighty mess and it's pretty much been made by a handful of people all at natwest . but the broader natwest. but the broader implications of all this is that the banks , which has become the banks, which has become a very popular word, is a practise i think that most of the large retail banks have been engaging in for a long time and the liberal way in which they've been interpreting , being been interpreting, being politically exposed to people has been at the root of all this. i mean, it is obviously a very , ver
