Nigel Farage Triumphs in Battle With Bankers

NatWest Chief Executive Officer Alison Rose is stepping down after a fight over the way the bank closed accounts held by politician-turned-pundit Nigel Farage.

Pressure for her to quit had been rising. Both UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak and Chancellor of the Exchequer Jeremy Hunt indicated her position was untenable after she admitted talking to a BBC journalist about the account closures.

In this week’s episode of In the City, host David Merritt discusses the mistakes made by NatWest and Farage’s call for more resignations at the bank. Joining Merritt are reporters Harry Wilson and Joe Mayes as well as Bloomberg Opinion columnist Paul Davies.
