He’s definitely upset someone.
Presumably these types of questions over finances may be a reason for a private bank to withdraw their commercial services. Yet the UK press obediently went out to bat for Farage.

As you say the media's always been a bit two-tier with Farage giving him an easy ride and opportunities a plenty to plead his case. It's an interesting question as to why this may have changed.
Maybe the sheer size of the £5m gift and Farage batting accountability for registering it away, belatedly frightened them into action?
