"Serious failings" were made by NatWest in its treatment of Nigel Farage when it closed down his bank account, an independent review has found.

The report said the communication of the closure with the former UKIP leader did not follow the bank's policies.

However, it found the closure was lawful, and made in line with the bank's policies and processes.

NatWest - which owns private bank Coutts where Mr Farage had his account - apologised for the failings.
