The vote against the Shell pay report was the second biggest rebellion seen at a FTSE 100 company. Only at Royal Bank of Scotland, where the government used its 70% stake as a protest vote against former chief executive Sir Fred Goodwin's £17m pension pot, has dissent been greater at a leading company.

Ten of the 16 biggest revolts at blue chip companies have come this year.
