What we know about Nigel Farage's claim he has been shut out of his bank accounts
inews.co.uk
In a six-minute video on Twitter, Mr Farage says he can no longer get a bank account. How true could his claims be?

That moment when you are walking down the street and you accidentally tread in a steaming pile of irony.

    He denies this but hasn’t sued the person making the allegation’

    He can’t sue the person who made the allegation. It was an MP who made the allegation in the House of Commons. This means that the MP is protected by Parliamentary Privilege which allows an MP to say whatever they want while in parliament. Very important for allowing MPs to have proper debate without interference.

    However, having said that. I definitely think he did accept money from Russia (the truth is also a defence against being sued!). He appeared on Russia Today (state propaganda) a lot.

      Thanks for the correction. I didn’t realise the MP making the allegation was speaking in the commons.
