- Nigel Farage, a prominent Brexiteer and broadcaster, claimed that his bank accounts have been closed without given reason, suggesting serious political persecution at the highest level.
- Farage refused to name the prestigious banking group involved but stated that the closures were part of an establishment plot to force him out of the UK.
- Other parties and politicians on the right of politics, such as the Reclaim Party and Reform UK, have also reportedly been denied bank accounts or had accounts closed, indicating a coordinated effort by financial institutions to target right-wing figures.
Banks don’t just close accounts. They do so at direction of the police pending an investigation into criminal activity.
