Peter Oborne should now be thanking Nigel Farage for his high profile, that gets things done.

I love the North Islington Corbynistic political speech too, way to go Pete

I maybe wrong but this clip might 'Trigger' some

Lol, good thing there isn't a major economic crisis or something, so that the government can concentrate on the vital issue, i.e. farage's ego.

NatWest CEO Dame Alison Rose admits leaking false story about Nigel Farage

Soon to be ex CEO. Could not really be anyone else.

NatWest CEO Dame Alison Rose admits leaking false story about Nigel Farage

As you know, it's customary to post links to stories.

I see Rose has had the dreaded vote of confidence.

Were she a footie manager she would be 'sacked in the morning'.

Interesting how the banks are so keen to play the confidentiality card to face down public complaints from customers.

But when it suits, that's all forgotten.

They all know I just make up stories

But on this one, it's everywhere.

Her place is untenable. If this was any manager, counter clerk, they would be sacked on the spot.

She is in the vortex now it's only a matter of time.

When the prime minister has full faith, they will be gone

I don't really see how it is false given that the dossier provided by Farage himself directly states that he is not financially in hock to Coutts and does not meet their banking criteria. They specifically say that they tend to move him off once the mortgage is repaid. If he has 2 million in the bank he woul;dn't have a mortgage.

 

[Pale Rider]

I don't really see how it is false

Well, Rose who leaked it and the BBC who published it have both admitted the story was false and both apologised, as has the hack who wrote it.

In other words, everyone concerned with the story, including Farage, says it's false.

I think that rather trumps what you or I think.

The dossier says he is financially viable. The main reason was they don't like his political views

He could have an offset mortgage

 

[icowden]

He could have an offset mortgage

He repaid it.

all UK clients and expats are required to save £3m+ or borrow (such as through a mortgage) or invest more than £1m with Coutts.

He hasn't got more than 3 million in the bank or more than 1 million invested in Coutts. He did have a mortgage through them. Now he doesn't. In 2019 he said he had no money. Bye bye Nigel.

Yet there are literally thousands who don't have the funds and still have Coutts accounts.

A former employee has stated so.

This is political dislike, attack on his free speech.

The claims were false to justify the debanking.

BBC have admitted, NatWest admitted and now Dame Alison has admitted the story was false.

No.

They thought his views and in particular the way he expressed them together with a public association with Coutts might damage their reputation.

I don't mean their reputation with Joe Public but that with their potential customers.

Nowhere in this report is there any mention of false information being given. The only admission is that confidentiality was not respected. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-66307353
