The high street banks have never really been a suitable source of loans for those with limited assets or income - their basic idea seems to be that you can only borrow from them if you can afford not to do so.

Given recent developments being reported in the press about the Labour party - not to mention the leadership contest for the Conservatives already having started, looking at the way Mrs May is sniping at Mr Johnson - is quite an achievement.
