Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.
If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread.
Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.
Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.

The term "prestigious banking group" tends to give it away. These types of banks expect account owners to prove they are a viable investment. So while you are correct, they will not close for political reasons. They will definitely close accounts because he has been unable to gain the political investment he has in the past.
These banks tend to give extra privileges that cost them. But more using accounts like this they are known for their customer evaluation methods. So other rich people know your rough status when you use them.
I remember hearing loads of reports about expensive gifts and use of property from Brexit backing millionaires not long after 2016. So that funding would be enough to support accounts at banks like Coutts. One of the smaller ones. Who are rumoured to drive members to a fancy event. To prove they have £1m in flexible assets every few years.
