I heard the BBC just say it was 30,000.

That should add nicely to the recovery.

And I guess they don’t want interest rates rising.
The more I think about it, a suggestion I read today of a BTL tax makes an awful lot of sense:
a pressure on house prices to go down but without burdening Joe Average mortgage sufferer so directly.

Sky said 30,000. some of which had recently taken place (they only made £7bn in the last 6 months). Reuters adds: “The bank said on Sunday it would sell 195 U.S. branches to First Niagara Financial for about $1 billion in cash, and close another 13 of the 470 sites it had”.
HSBC are now top of the job loss leader board (Sky):
:: HSBC: 30,000
:: RBS: 28,000
:: Lloyds: 15,000
:: Barclays: 600
