There is no "Coutts scandal". The Telegraph has misreported the reasons for Coutts' decision and slandered the bank. As have you. The memos released by, of all people, Nigel Farage, reveal that the reason for the closure of his account was that he had paid off his mortgage.

Daniel Hannan was a chairman of Vote Leave during the referendum. That campaign promised people MORE public money for the NHS. He went on to lead a group that is calling for American firms to buy parts of the NHS. And now he's on the UK Board of Trade. DO YOU FEEL CONNED YET?

In other words, the very existence of the State of Israel fundamentally relies on the two things whose authority Lipman denies, namely the right of return and the United Nations.

The accounts filed with Companies House reveal that Reform Party UK's debts far exceeded its assets in both 2020 and 2021. This would imho be sufficient reason for Metro Bank to terminate the relationship.

I am stunned by the sheer illogicality of an immigration policy that admits high-skill immigrants and bans low-skill ones. Why does Govt assume that the British workforce has an unlimited supply of low-skilled people? That is a hefty indictment of British training & education.

Brexit is a nostalgia project. It's all about restoring the "good old days" when Britain ruled the the world and everyone lived and worked in little towns and villages and shopped at the corner shop. The world the oldies think they remember from their childhoods.

Unless Nigel Farage's personal wealth is sufficient for him to maintain a balance of over £2,263,416 in his current and savings accounts, he does not come anywhere near meeting the qualifying conditions for a Coutts accounts without considerable personal borrowing.

The BBC's apology was a shameful example of spineless political arse-covering. NatWest did not apologise for closing the account. It remains closed. It's telling that Farage has said NOT A WORD about the Newsnight debate. He can't. I told the truth and he knows it.

They said "this was not on political grounds" The reasoning in the minutes was absolutely political. I'm not "hypnotised by Farage" - he's just as likely to mess up as not, but the >

Nigel is spinning again. The accounts were never closed. The bank merely gave notice to Farage that they intended to close them. The "exit plan" said they would give 6 months' notice.

@grange_hillel @Politic56721677 @Frances_Coppola Interesting that several media outlets are now reporting this as the account being re-instated. However the quote form Farage himself is: "The new CEO of Coutts, Mo Syed,... is now the boss and he has written to me to say I can keep both my personal and my business accounts."
