dame alison rose, the chief executive of natwest admitted she was the source of the bbc story and she. the bank then commissioned this review from the law firm travers smith. the review has said quite clearly the decision was made predominantly on commercial grounds. it said his political views, mr farage's political views did come into it, but they were not the main feature. it said there were serious failings on behalf of natwest, but that was mainly in the way the decision was communicated to mr farage and also in the way that dame alison spoke to a bbc journalist about his private financial affairs, which was a data protection breach. so this review has come in and mr farage has claimed it is a white watch, he said it is laughable. dame alison has said it shows the error she committed were relatively minor —— whitewash. she thought something was in the public domain when it wasn't. so overall, i'm not sure this review satisfies anybody, but it does try and inject clarity into what did become a major scandal over the summer. become a ma'or scandal over the summer. ., become a ma'or

dame alison leaves natwest.mpany . this is not a private company. we bailed these people out, out of their greed and stupidity. 38.6% of this bank is owned by you, the taxpayer, and she is on course to walk out of thursday's meeting . with 11.5 course to walk out of thursday's meeting .with11.5 million meeting. with 11.5 million sterling just think about that. to be rewarded for failure, rewarded for breaking every single code under banking law since it first existed under the financial conduct authority regulations . as she's on the regulations. as she's on the verge of walking out with £11.5 million and nearly 40% of that will be paid for by gb news viewers and the rest of the country . and what i want with country. and what i want with these revelations is for the world to understand and that these people who have politicised both public and private corporations actions should not be rewarded for failure, should not be rewarded for prejudice and for bias. she must not walk out with that vast sum of money. and

so in the light of these shocking messages at natwest, is it a crime to be at natwest, is it a crimeond banks ? has the this go beyond banks? has the british workforce become fully woke? derek what do you think about this? do you think it's a crime to be a small c conservative? >> britain is comprised of small c conservatives, so is the financial services sector . i financial services sector. i have something to declare. i have something to declare. i have an interest in a private bank and we should actually make a distinction between retail banking and private banking . banking and private banking. it's that the retail end where there is the problem and why we should be particularly interested in this story is that we as taxpayers own 39% of natwest and we should be very concerned that this person who led natwest to a shameful episode that related to the way in which they broadly interpreted the politically exposed rules is should be getting a payout of any kind . getting a payout of any kind. this is absolutely scandalous . this is absolutely scandalous. >> well, the shares in the

and when going on at natwest.to people kind you speak to people in the kind of extended afraid this of extended bob, i'm afraid this is talk about anyone is how they talk about anyone that's political persuasion. >> i mean, just to play devil's advocate, for the sake of advocate, just for the sake of a you know, a plausible debate about because i do about the subject, because i do tend feel, know, on his tend to feel, you know, on his side this. but we've side in this. but we've discussed previously on the show the surgeons the black humour that surgeons use, officers use use, that police officers use among not ever among themselves, not ever expecting it to be shared to the wider public. that them wider public. that allows them to off a bit of steam. to just let off a bit of steam. if it were the case that the banking staff at telegraph banking staff at the telegraph regarded farage with this kind of sort of snooty derision, it wouldn't matter until and unless they have actually transgressed in terms of his actua
