Farage Discloses Coutts File Discussing His Political Views

Nigel Farage obtained a Coutts report on 18 July 2023 that discussed his political views alongside the commercial reasons for closing his account. The BBC reported wording from the file saying his views were at odds with the bank's position as an inclusive organisation. Coutts said it did not close accounts solely over lawful political views. The disclosure put a bank's reputational assessment of a customer's politics under public scrutiny.
