Barclays doubles down on the bits that Bramson hates

Jes Staley is making something of a name for himself at the helm of Barclays – and not just for his gaffes.

There have, it must be said, been a few of those. Whether accidentally referring to his Barclays colleagues as great ‘Morgan’ executives (although some of them certainly have been), or managing to get sucked into email correspondence with a prankster (although he wasn’t alone in that), or dealing with whistleblowing complaints in a way that displeased regulators (although not so much as to deem him unfit for his role, they said), Staley hasn’t always stood out for the right reasons.
