UK Govt handed banks bailouts, billions of Pounds of QE, depositor protection insurance. cheap money, tax cuts, more customers, loans to save them.
In return banks closed 4,685 branches since 2015; 12,000 fewer free-to-use ATMs.
It is one-way traffic.

What’s deeply sinister in here is James Cleverly’s pretence that the NHS is somehow something separate from government. Is that his aim? https://twitter.com/bbcpolitics/status/1601884581275529217
