Nigel Farage has claimed his bank account was closed down after Coutts decided his views “do not align with our values”
.that the exclusive bank - used by the Royal Family - had written to him to tell him both his personal and business accounts were being closed, and there had been no explanation.
Mr Farage claimed in a video on Twitter this was due to him being a"politically exposed person" or PEP, and that closing his bank accounts was part of a plan to force him out of the UK.But both the BBC and Financial Times reported the bank did not want his custom as he did not have enough money in his accounts.
Now, the Brexit campaigner claims to have a 40-page document showing he met the"criteria for commercial retention", but his views meant they wanted him to leave, ranging from his position on LGBT+ rights through to his friendship with former US president Donald Trump.
