“In My View They Should ALL GO!” NatWest Boss Quits After Admitting Farage Leak To BBC

Ministers have urged banks to learn from the mistakes of NatWest in the wake of chief executive Dame Alison Rose’s resignation in a row over the closure of Nigel Farage’s Coutts account. The former UKIP leader went on to demand the resignation of the entire NatWest board and for a “cultural change” within the industry at large after his campaign resulted in the departure of NatWest’s top banker. NatWest Group chairman Sir Howard Davies said early on Wednesday that Dame Alison would be stepping down, after both Downing Street and the Treasury expressed their “serious concerns” about her conduct. Dame Alison had admitted a “serious error of judgment” by discussing with a BBC journalist Mr Farage’s relationship with Coutts, owned by NatWest Group. TalkTV’s Dr David Bull is joined by former First Minister of Scotland and leader of the Alba Party Alex Salmond to discuss the story. #nigelfarage #coutts #bank #natwest #bbc #talktv #talkradio
