Interesting that so many outlets printed Coutts orginal press release, but Farage used FOI to show they just don't like him:

Nigel Farage’s Coutts account closed as bank felt he did not ‘align with their values’​

Documents obtained by ex-Ukip leader show reputational risk committee ‘exited’ him after considering his views on issues such as Brexit

The real reason Coutts closed my accounts – and it has nothing to do with my finances

I have seen the Stasi-style surveillance report used to justify the bank’s extraordinary action – it is, frankly, shocking
