Banks should be in no position to “tell us what to think or what political party we should support,” a minister has warned following the resignation of NatWest’s boss over the closure of Nigel Farage’s bank account.
Dame Alison Rose resigned in the early hours of Wednesday after admitting she had made a “serious error of judgment” when she discussed with a BBC journalist why the private bank Coutts, owned by NatWest Group, had closed the former Brexit Party leader’s account.
