Barclays is being threatened with a boardroom shake-up after an activist investor announced plans for a shareholder vote on the bank's leadership.

Four former Barclays executives have appeared at Southwark crown court and pleaded not guilty to charges brought by the Serious Fraud Office (SFO) in relation to a £12bn rescue package secured by the bank at the height of the financial crisis.
