TSB to be sold to rival Santander for £2.65billion

The deal to acquire TSB from the Spanish parent firm of TSB, Sabadell, beating rival Barclays, was confirmed today (July 1). Santander intends to integrate TSB into the Santander UK group, meaning it would become the second-largest bank in the country. Bosses say the deal is 'aligned with Santander's long-term objectives'. However, the final transaction remains subject to regulatory approvals and Sabadell shareholder approval. The full transaction is expected to be completed in the first quarter of 2026. TSB already has a nationwide network of 218 branches and outlets, and a growing digital presence. It serves around five million customers, with £34 billion in mortgages and £35 billion in deposits. But with the latest buyout news, TSB combined with Santander would serve nearly 28 million retail and business customers nationwide. Santander has in the past year entertained bids from both NatWest and Barclays for its UK retail arm. Ana Botín, Banco Santander's executive chair, said: "The acquisition of TSB represents a continuing strategic commitment to our customers in the UK, offering a compelling opportunity that is financially attractive to our shareholders and aligned with Santander's long-term objectives. "It strengthens our franchise in a core market through the acquisition of a low-risk and complementary business that adds to our diversification. "We are creating a stronger and more competitive business across key products such as personal current accounts where the combined business will become the second largest bank in the UK by market share. "The transaction will accelerate our path to greater profitability in the UK and helps achieve a return on tangible equity of 16% by 2028. "The acquisition also reflects our commitment to growing profitably through disciplined capital allocation. This acquisition meets our goal of achieving a return on investment above 20% and EPS accretion from year 1, while consuming limited capital and having low execution risk.

CEO of Santander UK, Mike Regnier, said he hoped they could become "the best bank for UK customers". He added: "This is an excellent deal for customers combining two strong and complementary banks, creating one of the most substantial banks in the UK and materially enhancing the competitiveness of the industry. 'At Santander UK we have momentum in our strategy to become the best bank for customers in the UK by investing in technology and service and improving our processes and efficiency."​ Marc Armengol, TSB CEO, said: 'TSB is a truly special bank, run by a first-class team that deliver trusted service and support for customers, day in and day out. "Today's announcement represents the next exciting chapter for this successful business, as part of Santander Group, a highly regarded banking group. "I believe this will prove to be an excellent fit for our loyal customers.'

BLOW Brits brace for tax HIKES to fund Keir's watered-down benefits bill after last-ditch U-turn to quell rebellion

Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) BRITS must be braced for tax rises this autumn after Sir Keir Starmer's welfare plans were watered down, a Cabinet Minister has indicated. Pat McFadden put Brits on notice that abandoning the benefits crackdown will have "financial consequences" in a major warning shot ahead of the Budget. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 1 Sir Keir Starmer sees savings from benefits overhaul wiped out Credit: Getty Economists have already declared that the expected £5 billion of savings expected from the welfare overhaul will now save nothing. It gives Chancellor Rachel Reeves a financial headache as she is already trying to find £1.5 million from the partial retreat of the winter fuel plans. It puts her on a collision course with her own MPs as she decides between spending cuts, tax hikes or borrowing to balance the books. When asked to specifically rule out tax rises this autumn in the Budget, he said: "I'm not going to speculate on the budget." Mr McFadden told Times Radio: 'This is a decision that will have financial consequences. The process of the last couple of weeks does have financial consequences. 'They will all be taken together with all the other moving parts that there are in the economy, in the fiscal picture at the Budget, and that will be set out at the time. 'But I'm not denying that when you set out on a plan that has a cost attached to it, and then you have to change that or take it forward in slower time, that is a decision with financial consequences.' The Sun Says LOST CONTROL WHAT total chaos. Normally, a Government with a huge majority would mark its first year in office by trumpeting a raft of great achievements. Sir Keir Starmer's Number Ten has chosen to blast itself in both feet. Last week's U-turn to try to salvage his flagship benefits bill was bad enough. Last night's second capitulation to Labour rebels renders it almost meaningless. No savings worthy of the name. No reform. No clue. We can now look forward to a second year in which Labour jacks up our taxes to fill the financial black hole. Still, at least the Prime Minister's Left-wing MPs will be happy. They look like the ones in control now. Mr McFadden insisted that the government would stick to its manifesto pledges of not hiking income tax, national insurance or VAT. The intervention came as the government abandoned the Personal Independence Payment element of the welfare shake-up putting them on hold until a review is carried out and reports back in the autumn next year. He also told Labour rebels with their eyes set on scrapping the two-child benefit cap they could be disappointed. He told the BBC that governments "can't spend the same money twice" in a stinging rebuke. Asked explicitly whether he could rule out tax rises, Mr McFadden said: "I'm not going to speculate on the budget." Shadow Chancellor Pat McFadden said: "Tax rises are on the way to pay for Labour's mismanagement of the economy. "Hard working families will have an agonising summer waiting to hear how Rachel Reeves will claw back the cash to make up for the failings of this weak Prime Minister." Both the Resolution Foundation and the Institute for Fiscal Studies said there will be no net savings from the humiliating welfare climbdown.

Nicola Sturgeon's husband Peter Murrell's ‘embezzlement' legal costs to be paid by taxpayer after legal aid granted

He appeared in court earlier this year FIGHTING FUND Nicola Sturgeon's husband Peter Murrell's 'embezzlement' legal costs to be paid by taxpayer after legal aid granted NICOLA Sturgeon's husband Peter Murrell has been granted legal aid after being charged with embezzlement. The 60-year-old former SNP chief exec was charged in March as a long running police probe into the party's finances came to an end. Advertisement 4 Peter Murrell has been granted legal aid Credit: Getty 4 The former FM's husband was charged with embezzlement earlier this year Credit: AP 4 It saw the end of the long running Operation Branchform probe into SNP cash Credit: Reuters Operation Branchform was launched in 2021 and probed the fate of £600,000 raised for an independence campaign between 2017 and 2019. The former First Minister's estranged husband appeared at Edinburgh Sheriff Court over the charge. It has now emerged Murrell's application for legal aid was granted, reports The Daily Record. The Scottish Legal Aid board received an application from Murrell's solicitors, which was granted on April 30. Advertisement So far no payments have been made, but officials say Murrell "met the tests" for receiving the cash. Legal aid chiefs would have checked information his salary, cash in his bank accounts and other investments while considering his application. It is currently not known how much Murrell was earning while serving as the Nats chief exec. But when the role was advertised in 2023, Murrell's successor Murray Foote was earning £95,000-a-year. Advertisement And then when the role was again advertised in January, the salary was listed as "competitive". Murrell was granted bail after his first court appearance and no dates have been set by the Crown Office. A spokesperson for the Scottish Legal Aid Board said: 'When assessing an applicant's eligibility for legal aid we look at their financial position at the time of their application to ensure they meet tests set by legal aid legislation. 'This includes information they give us about their salary, the amount of money they have in the bank and any investments, which might be available to fund their own defence privately. Advertisement 'Peter Murrell's application met the tests we have to apply when deciding whether to grant legal aid.' The dramatic Branchform probe saw Murrell arrested in 2023 but then released without charge. It saw an army of cops raid the SNP's party HQ in Edinburgh and swoop on he and Nicola Sturgeon's home in an early morning blitz. Ms Sturgeon and the party's ex-treasurer Colin Beattie were both arrested amid the probe and later found to have committed no wrongdoing. Advertisement The former leader also revealed earlier this year how her marriage to Peter Murrell had ended. Speaking about Murrell's legal aid win, Scottish Labour's Jackie Baillie said: 'Taxpayers will be scratching their heads at why they should have to foot the bill for Peter Murrell - a man who has been charged with embezzlement. "It is also particularly galling that Peter Murrell will be receiving legal aid after the SNP government has repeatedly ignored warnings about the financial pressures raised by lawyers." While Scottish Tory MSP Liam Kerr added: 'It will stick in the throats of hard-pressed Scots that they're picking up the tab for this, especially at a time when his party have squeezed the legal aid budget.'
