Watch: Nigel Farage claims Coutts account shut over his ‘values’

The plot thickens. Nigel Farage claims he has got to the bottom of why he was ditched by the elite bank Coutts earlier this year.

In a video published to his YouTube account, the former UKIP leader claims he has gained access to a report documenting the bank’s decision to close his account. According to Farage, the reason the bank closed down his account was not because he didn’t have enough cash to bank, but because ‘I don’t fit with their values’.

Brandishing the document, Farage describes it as ‘a brief you’d give to a barrister ahead of a serious criminal trial’. ‘From the tone of this document I must be one of the worst human beings to have ever inhabited this planet,’ he declared.

Farage insists he met the financial criteria to keep a bank account with Coutts and is ‘pretty blooming angry’ about Coutts allegedly not telling the truth as to why his account was shut down.
