Original Note:
NNN - Post does not claim that Labour caused the collapse of Northern Rock. It claims the collapse occurred during Labour’s governance. The failing bank was nationalised by Labour, wiping out investments of many staff and customers. It was later sold to Virgin in 2012. https://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/business/business-news/northern-rock-anniversary-how-crisis-13614085 https://www.theguardian.com/business/2010/aug/10/northern-rock-financial-meltdown-series https://www.ft.com/content/5bf237e6-8d0e-11e7-a352-e46f43c5825d
