    It's certainly grim news for 2,600 families. And exposes the lie of the much vaunted recovery.

    RBS was always going to shed jobs recovery or no recovery. Worldwide RBS has so far culled 26,000 jobs. It also has to reduce its UK operation to meet the EU ruling. So there's more bad news to come from RBS job wise.

    I wonder how many votes Labour would have lost if this was announced before the election.

    Sick. We have a corrupt electoral system.
