NatWest Dame Alison Rose’s resignation ‘had to happen’ says Nigel Farage, but now ‘whole board must go’

Nigel Farage has called for a “cultural change” at NatWest and within the wider industry, as he promised to continue to campaign on account closures.

Mr Farage said NatWest “ought to go back to being a bank, rather than being a moral arbiter for political positions”.

He hit out at the wider NatWest Board in wake of the resignation of Dame Alison Rose. He said: “Anybody on that Board that backed that statement that was put out at 17.42 yesterday, a totally unsustainable and untrue statement, anybody that backed that behaviour, should be gone.”
