Has Gina Miller also fallen victim to ‘debanking’?

It might come as some small comfort to Nigel Farage to discover that it’s not just those on his side of the Brexit debate who have fallen victim to potential ‘debanking’. The former Brexit leader may now have an unlikely ally in Gina Miller, the anti-Brexit campaigner and his arch enemy during the referendum years.

Miller has revealed that she too will have a bank account closed in September without any explanation. Earlier this month, Monzo bank sent her an email announcing that they will be shutting the account for her ‘True and Fair’ party but that ‘unfortunately we can’t tell you why’.

According to the BBC, Monzo’s email said: ‘We can’t share the specific reason for closing your account. As a bank we regularly review and sometimes close accounts as part of our legal and regulatory responsibilities.’

Miller said that a number of banks refused to allow her to open a bank account for her party, until Monzo successfully approved her application in November 2021.
