Read our privacy policy Anti-Brexit campaigner Gina Miller has called for an investigation into banks refusing to serve political parties after Monzo said it is closing her account. But Ms Miller, who famously challenged the government’s Brexit plans in the Supreme Court, said it is “nearly impossible” for small political parties to access banking services in the UK. She added: “The True & Fair Party’s experience with Monzo and other banks which rejected our account applications demonstrates how it is nearly impossible for small political parties to access banking in the UK. Monzo said Ms Miller’s account closure was nothing to do with political views or affiliations, but because it does not offer accounts to political parties.
