Nigel Farage has described ex-NatWest boss Alison Rose’s £2.4m resignation payout as a “sick joke”.
Former NatWest boss Dame Alison Rose is set to receive the pay package after she resigned during controversy over Farage being “de-banked” from Coutts, a private bank run by NatWest.
She quit after admitting to being the source behind an inaccurate story about Farage’s finances following a discussion with a BBC journalist.
In a video posted to Twitter/X, the former UKIP leader said: “When I heard the news I thought perhaps it was a sick joke.”

00:00 Well, when I heard the news, I thought perhaps it was a sick joke.
00:02 Surely you cannot breach client confidentiality.
00:05 You can't break virtually every important rule in the FCA codebook.
00:10 And you can't then lie about it after you've briefed the BBC
00:14 and still receive a £2.43 million payout.
00:19 And yet that's exactly what's happened to Alison Rose.
00:21 The so-called inquiry into what she did has been kicked into the long grass.
00:25 And to Havard Davis, the chairman of the NatWest Group, seems happy about that.
00:29 This is the corrupt British establishment looking after its own.
00:34 It's the corrupt British establishment at its very, very worst.
00:38 Any employee of NatWest that had done what she'd done
00:42 would have been out the door, fired, and would not have even received their month's money.
00:46 The whole thing is a sick joke.
