Macron is far too young and clearly hasnt a clue..If he gets it it wont be for long..and is his girlfriend 63? Weird.and he was part of Hollande's mob,and an economist[they know nothing] and a banker at Rothschilds...he's been set up for this ,no doubt...but I wouldnt be too sure of the result.

Barclays expected to report growing profits this week, with chief executive Jes Staley under the microscope over whistleblower investigation

City analysts are expecting pre-tax profits of around £1.5bn, up 66 per cent from £902m in the same period in 2016.

Say what you like about Barclays’ American boss Jes Staley (please, knock yourself out) but don’t assume he’s a stereotypical Wall Streeter with an underdeveloped sense of irony.

Staley has, of course, landed himself in the soup over his attempts to unmask an internal whistleblower, who was supposedly saying mean things about a close pal and colleague. That resulted in an official warning for Staley earlier this month – but a more charitable interpretation might be that the bungling spymaster act was merely a satirical homage to the old Barclaycard ads featuring Rowan Atkinson’s incompetent MI7 spook, Latham.

You remember the sort of thing: an earnest Latham tries to show off his espionage skills, only to accidentally shoot himself in the scrotum with a tranquilliser pen. Or the one where our hero tries to buy a carpet by haggling with a trader in local dialect: “You sound fluent, sir.” “We are both fluent, Bough; sadly in different languages”.

So, by that reading, Staley’s efforts were not the shameful trampling over whistleblower protocols they originally appeared to be. Instead, they were a cruelly misunderstood and affectionate comic tribute to a vintage period of the bank’s advertising. Please remember that when he faces the City for the first time since being publicly disgraced, at Barclays’s quarterly results this week.
