‘Underpinning all of this, though, is Brexit. This week’s row wouldn’t have happened at all, let alone at the volume it did, if the bank’s victim had been a remainer like Gary Lineker or Delia Smith, let alone Keir Starmer. If one of these had been debanked, rather than Farage, everything would have been very different. The whole focus would have been on their ill-gotten riches, their hypocrisy for banking with Coutts.’
