    Farage is now claiming that he's been rejected by 9 banks. Good. <ok>

    The same could be said for him. Lock him up.

    How many days has it been since she was going to resign as an MP with immediate effect?

    That's errrrm quite immediate.

    It's almost as if she was expecting another post to come up and it didn't materialise.

    The question that should be asked is , what has she been doing in that time if found to be not attending she should be thrown out of politics once and for all

    She hasn't spoken in Commons since 7th July last year

    Yes, that date does have connotations...

    Tbh I don't know what the attendance of others is like so I can't really single her out here. Besides which, there's plenty (and when I say plenty I mean a mountain) of examples of incompetence and skullduggery to make her unfit for office.

    Katharine Bumblecunt latest: she's now unironically using the same critical race theory she routinely accuses other people of using

    You'd know all about that, though, wouldn't you Madge?

    So, predictably...

    Zuckwit is reportedly launching his Twitter clone this Friday

    Luckily there aren't any potential issues with the name...

    Nigel Farage fell below the financial threshold required to hold an account at Coutts, the prestigious private bank for the wealthy, the BBC has been told:
    https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-66097039

    I suggested this on Saturday, but felt that it didn't explain everything:
    The last part of that comment still remains unanswered.
    Coutts may have given him the boot, but if it's just a lack of funds, then why is everyone else turning him down?
    Is he lying about that? Is he utterly skint? Has his source of funding mysteriously dried up?

    How much do you need for an account with Coutts?

    Interesting. Purely on the last part of the comment that remains unanswered...

    I wonder if he's fallen foul directly or indirectly of a PEP check in some way, which might explain why the other banks wouldn't touch him with a barge pole?

    The PEP Screening should be performed during the customers' initial engagement process while periodically reviewing customers when any triggering event requires a Customer Due Diligence review.
