8. The UK Early Day Motion ... if it had Tory backing would be significant.

However all the signers of the EDM are Labour MPs (SDLP for Northern Ireland).

But since bank executives are big out on the radar ... and it is sensitive... I'm glad those MPs called up for an EDM on the issue of bank senior staff raising money for a US politician when they're running the UK bank down into the ground. Point being simple: the UK government has bailed out enough banks, and it doesn't want to have Barclays get into the trouble pretty much all other UK main retail banks got into.
