Yesterday the BBC made a grovelling apology to former Brexit Party leader for pumping out Coutts' incorrect spin that the elite bank had dropped him because he didn't have enough money in his account. But the broadcaster didn't reveal Ms Rose was the source of the incorrect claim. The Beeb's Business Editor, Simon Jack, personally apologised for his false report. BBC News CEO Deborah Turness also wrote to Mr Farage to say sorry. In her statement today, Ms Rose continued: "Given the consequences of this, I want to address the questions that have been raised and set out the substance of the conversations that took place. 'Believing it was public knowledge, I confirmed that Mr Farage was a Coutts customer and that he had been offered a NatWest bank account. "Alongside this, I repeated what Mr Farage had already stated, that the bank saw this as a commercial decision. I would like to emphasise that in responding to Mr Jack's questions I did not reveal any personal financial information about Mr Farage. "In response to a general question about eligibility criteria required to bank with Coutts and NatWest I said that guidance on both was publicly available on their websites. In doing so, I recognise that I left Mr Jack with the impression that the decision to close Mr Farage's accounts was solely a commercial one. 'I was not part of the decision-making process to exit Mr Farage. Thi){kind=link}
THE “woke” boss of Natwest has sensationally confessed to being the source behind a false story about Nigel Farage.
But the bank’s board insisted they still had “full confidence” in Dame Alison Rose despite her “unsatisfactory” role in the affair.
The Brexiteer has threatened to sue Natwest after his account with luxury offshoot Coutts was closed last month.
BBC Business Editor Simon Jack apologised on Monday after admitting his story that Farage had been kicked out for not having enough cash was false.
The former Ukip boss later proved his account was shut due to his political views that clashed with the “inclusive” culture fostered at the high-net worth bank.
