Darling on the worst moment of the financial crash

Alistair Darling describes what for him was the scariest moment of the financial crisis

Regulators must remain "very very" vigilant about the risks to the economy, former chancellor Lord Darling has said - 10 years on from the start of the financial crisis.

He said a rising level of consumer debt in the economy was a growing concern.

Looking back on the financial crisis, Mr Darling said the "scariest" moment was when RBS called to tell him they would run out of money that afternoon.
