Plus, the delights of the Deliveroo dinner party and dealing with the carnage of an SAS-style plumbing refit
You’d have to have a heart of stone not to laugh. Man of the people Nigel Farage announces that his bank, Coutts, has closed his account because it disagrees with his views. Cue outrage, media fulminations amongst those who like to fulminate over rather than celebrate the idea that Farage is suffering in any way, and a rallying of Brexity troops around the martyr. Then, when it was revealed that his account was closed because it didn’t meet the exclusive bank’s minimum requirements for membership (£3m in savings or £1m in investments or loans, in case you were wondering) and that he had instead been offered an account with NatWest (part of the same banking group as Coutts), everyone fell over laughing. Overall, there have been worse starts to a week.
