"Farage said he had first received a notice his account would be closed two months ago...".

Somewhere between "minimal time" and "two months".

there's your answer then, not that it's any of your business to question why the delay. Sounds a bit like a conspiracy theory.

If I had been in his shoes I would have found a high street bank and moved my money there without creating a fuss.

Why do that when you can use it for political gain?

It’s quite funny to see banks becoming the next ‘woke’ thing in political debates.

 

Banks.

 

’Woke’.

So what's his problem then?

He's been offered an account with NatWest. Is that not good enough for our 'anti establishment' Nigel, who can't afford to bank with Coutts anymore?

    But it is my business to question his motives for preparing and releasing a story two months after it happened.

and what information do you have that suggests there is any motive other than to raise it in a wider sphere to challenge what's happening

why don't you do some research if you're so interested, the answers to these silly questions are easily obtainable

Farage’s problem is his long, close and very public association with Aaron Banks, Donald Trump and many other very prominent PEPs, each with a non-trivial baggage of alleged links to Russian money. 
 

In banker’s talk, the habitual expression is ‘our bank has no appetite for this service’ (edit: meaning, no appetite for risks -real or estimated- associated with providing the service).

 

Have experienced it many times myself, beyond the example of paying legitimate costs of Russian legal service  providers that I gave earlier in the thread. E.g. as simple (and, you’d think, very straightforward) as arranging bank transfers for paying official fees (‘a tax’) to a legitimate government office in French Polynesia. And that’s Luxembourgish bank branches, you’d believe more flexible than most, after over 3 decades’ worth of happy/profitable/etc. daily banking for a double digit £m turnover local business.
 

Aside of any dodgy funds, it’s a free market, end of, and simple as. Deal with it, Nigel: you’re not so special.
