“Liberal Left” Accused Of “Hypocrisy” Over Nigel Farage Banking Scandal

The boss of bank Coutts which shut down Nigel Farage’s bank account, Peter Flavel, will step down immediately, its owner NatWest Group has said. It follows the resignation of NatWest’s chief executive Dame Alison Rose in the early hours of Wednesday. Mr Flavel said: “I am exceptionally proud of my seven years at Coutts and I want to thank the team that have built it into such a high-performing business. “In the handling of Mr Farage’s case we have fallen below the bank’s high standards of personal service. “As CEO (chief executive officer) of Coutts it is right that I bear ultimate responsibility for this, which is why I am stepping down.” Journalist Jordan Tyldesley tells TalkTV’s Penny Smith that “there is a level of hypocrisy” from the "liberal left" over the Nigel Farage banking scandal. “You would expect the left to be quite compassionate and quite caring in this instance.” #talktv #talkradio #nigelfarage #farage #bank #bankaccount #coutts #natwest
