Pressure is mounting on the banking bosses at the centre of the Nigel Farage row after NatWest was forced to apologise to the former Ukip leader for “deeply inappropriate comments” made about him.
Dame Alison Rose, chief executive of NatWest Group, which owns Coutts, wrote to Mr Farage insisting that comments made in a dossier by Coutts “do not reflect the view of the bank”. It came after the arch-Brexiteer said his bank account was unfairly shut down because it did not agree with his political views.
