Bridget Fox: concerned for local jobs

The Royal Bank of Scotland is reported to be axing 3,000 staff over the next few weeks. And as the Bank has said it won't be sacking staff at high street branches or in Scotland, this puts jobs at RBS' Angel offices in the frontline for cuts.

Commenting on the news, Liberal Democrat campaigner Bridget Fox said,

"Royal Bank of Scotland is one of Islington's largest employers. It's more evidence that the recession is hitting our borough hard.

"Gordon Brown is jetting round the world, trying to pretend it's all other people's fault. The truth is he has put British jobs at risk with his actions over the past 11 years in Downing Street.

"It's the Prime Minister who should be getting his P45, not Islington workers."
