Former Ukip leader obtained report suggesting media coverage of his political views was considered in Coutts closure decision
Dame Alison Rose, the chief executive of NatWest Group, has stood down after a row over the closure of Nigel Farage’s bank account with the private bank Coutts, which NatWest owns.
Rose has resigned from the banking group after Farage complained to the BBC about a report that claimed his accounts with Coutts were closed for commercial reasons. The broadcaster has since apologised and amended its story.
