The former UKIP leader and MEP said he’s instructing lawyers to take action against the bank with the aim of turning it into a class action. It follows an independent review that said, although there were “serious failings” over the bank’s treatment of Farage, the decision was lawful.  

 

Posting an image of a Sky News story announcing the legal move, the former politician wrote on X “NatWest must be held accountable.” It has been reported he has instructed London-based law firm Grosvenor Law to act for him and will begin the legal battle next week.
