NatWest boss calls for "stability" amid Labour turmoil as bank snaps up Evelyn Partners for £2.7bn.

NatWest boss Paul Thwaite has called for "stability, certainty, and growth" amidst political turmoil in Westminster. He completed the bank's biggest deal since 2008 by acquiring wealth manager Evelyn Partners for £2.7bn. The deal creates Britain's largest private banking and wealth management entity and aims to transform savings and investments for NatWest's 20 million customers. Thwaite believes the deal will help drive growth and investment across the economy, particularly with the increasing wealth held by younger generations.
