Nigel Farage has claimed that an apology from the chief executive of NatWest Group is only "a start", as he called for a “wholesale review” of the UK’s banking industry amid a political furore over the closure of bank accounts and freedom of speech.
Dame Alison Rose apologised to the former Ukip and Brexit Party leader on Thursday for "deeply inappropriate comments" made about him in official papers. It comes after private bank Coutts, owned by NatWest Group, suddenly closed Mr Farage’s account, with him claiming it was because of his political views. Report by Buseld.
