Original Note:
Labour did not cause the collapse of Northern Rock, in fact under Brown they bailed it out and saved customers from losing millions https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nationalisation_of_Northern_Rock Ironically Sunak worked at a hedge fund that helped precipitate the financial crisis, personally earning ~£5m off the collapse of RBS https://news.sky.com/story/what-did-rishi-sunak-do-before-he-entered-politics-13147625
