It’s a busy old time if you’re Nigel Farage. The Brexiteer is expected to shortly become the latest politician to enter the jungle on ITV’s hit show I’m A Celebrity – Get Me Out of Here. But before that, Farage has certain scores to settle: including with the state-backed NatWest bank. He is now seeking millions of pounds of damages over the debanking scandal which eventually forced the resignation of chief executive Dame Alison Rose.
This weekend Farage instructed London-based Grosvenor Law to act for him in a claim against both NatWest and Rose, with initial legal letters expected to be issued by Farage’s lawyers during the course of next week. The claims are due to be filed just days after NatWest confirmed that it was cancelling the bulk of Dame Alison’s potential £10m-plus severance package.
A source close to Farage told Mr S: ‘Nigel will aim to defend the many thousands who have had their accounts closed by NatWest.
