Background for non-UK readers:

Nigel Farage - the main mover behind Brexit - had his account closed due to his political opinions (he is also a renta-gob anti-woke columnist).

The bank tried to cover that up, and the Chair leaked his account details while talking to a journalist.

The Chair has now resigned and Farage is after more blood.

Don't be in any doubt though - the Beeb etc are trying to sell this story as being about the leak; but its about cancel culture and the rising mainstream awareness of it - Farage is a big name in the UK, and the attempt to shut his finances down for having the wrong opinions has hugely backfired here.
