Nigel Farage has described the information held about him by his long-time bank as “highly political,” the latest salvo in his campaign against Coutts, the NatWest Group Plc unit that he says abruptly closed his account.
The former leader of the pro-Brexit UK Independence Party said on his GB News show on Monday evening that Coutts had released 40 pages of documents to him after he made a request to access the data they held on him. Brexit is mentioned over 30 times and Russia is mentioned 22 times, Farage said, adding that he would release more details on Tuesday.
