£4bn profits above most expectations, well above some. Final dividend 11.5p also very welcome plus tons more BBs in 2024. And breathe!
This is what the Taxpayers Alliance have to say. I wonder who is going to get us out of all of this?

British taxpayers injected £45.5bn into RBS in 2008. Current mkt Cap is only £18bn.
British tax payer national debt hits £2.6 trillion. How on earth will that ever be resolved without some market catastrophe somewhere, like a gilts meltdown and emergency QE again?
'Any opinions?'
Another year of mediocrity.
Any opinions?
So basically, they can't headhunt or find a suitable CEO externally....
Unlike most American banks, the UK banks have never recovered from their post financial crisis levels. The economy has not continued on its pre-crisis growth path either. No quick fix here.

Calokey I used to invest into UK banks, I still have a small position in VMUK so I occasionally I read some of these boards but less and less nowadays, and that’s the truth, no agenda here.
Good luck to everyone but I don’t think the UK market is investable until they do something (the government), like identify the public, pension funds and asset managers to invest here.
So why are you here Minnie
Realist1 and Gray59
I don't know why would anyone invest into the UK market.
They say UK companies are good dividend payers but it's no good if the share price falls by 50%.
Here is an illustation from today's news:
TUI board has recommended ditching the London Stock Exchange, where only 10% of its shares are held, citing a “significant” decline in liquidity on U.K. equity markets in recent years.
I agree that share price fluctuations / company valuations etc are annoying but if you want straight forward, dependable dividends held in an ISA in order to mitigate tax then aren't banking shares worthy of consideration as part of a balanced portfolio?
Whilst I realise that divi's may be reduced if a company decides to at today's prices as I type NWG will pay around 6.63% & LLOY 5.75%, better than you can get in a cash ISA.
It's funny this whole debanked thing.
Why is it OK for companies to stop advertising on X because of Elon Musk views, yet this example it's "completely outrageous" .... the media spin is the difference.
Minnie, maybe this is why UK insurance companies and pension funds have only 4% of their money invested here. Maybe we should do the same? No wonder the LSE is failing.
Another uninvestable bank - awarding obscene bonuses for themselves.
It's the old boys (& girls) club Wm.
You have to have gone to the right school, be a Knight of the realm or an heriditary Lord to get an eye in at board level.
To answer your question they don't give a flying f**k because they always get their millions.
New CEO from that fabled investment success story Credit Suisse. Farage must be glad he was debanked ...
A year ago we were £3+, today we are barely £2+
And yet we shareholders have agreed to pay millions to the CEO and their chums for protecting our investments.
Can help but wonder if I looked after my friends firm whilst he took a year old out,
Would I be getting a salary or bonus
Question:
Why do CEOs and chums retain jobs and recieve bonuses for bad shareprice performances year on year

This is what AJ Bell have to say about the upcoming results. It is interesting that they say the last stated NAV per share was 271.

Hi next week who of the big banks is first for results?
So who is going to pay for all of this? Not the shareholders I hope.

Bizarre idea that somehow current holders will get a discount on these shares or they get sold of cheaply to' sid' , the govt. want the best price - so surely the only way forward is that natwest commit to a buyback of these shares and then cancel them ?
Thanks, that’s very helpful
