Ross McEwan told radio show he is preparing his bank for the worst case scenario - leaving the European Union without a trade deal. Theresa May's Downing Street speech made the prospect of a no-deal Brexit even more likely, as she spoke of an impasse in negotiations with the EU. But speaking to radio show, Mr McEwan warned of the consequences, saying: "I think we need to prepare for it [a no-deal Brexit]. "I think we will have, for a number of years, much lower growth in the economy as we sort it out. "Long-term, this country is a great country, it'll sort itself out. It will get back out and export. In the short-term and medium-term, I do worry about growth and GDP." In a veiled threat to Boris Johnson and Jacob Rees-Mogg, Mr McEwan told politicians to stop playing politics and get behind the Prime Minister.He added: "Every political party should get together now and find the best solution. We need to get behind this Prime Minister to get the best deal, not a political play. "Otherwise, we will end up in a very bad position, because we're fighting with ourselves."  ''image : guardian''
