Nigel Farage recently made headlines for claiming a £32,000 all-expense paid trip to America as a way to “represent Clacton on the world stage,” according to the MPs’ register of interests. This revelation comes as the Reform UK man has been noticeably absent from his constituency in Essex since taking office in July. Despite his absence, he has been identified as one of the highest-earning MPs in parliament after updating his earnings.
Farage’s updated earnings show that he receives £97,928.40 per month from broadcaster GB News for just 32 hours of work. Additionally, he earned £4,000 on Cameo, a platform where celebrities can record personalised videos for a fee, and another £4,000 per month for writing articles for the Daily Telegraph. The list of his earnings also includes a donation of £32,836 from investor Christopher Harborne, which was intended to fund Farage’s visit to the US to see former President Donald Trump, who had recently survived an assassination attempt.
The donation was described as a means to “support a friend who was almost killed and to represent Clacton on the world stage.” However, this explanation has been met with widespread mockery online, with many questioning the true purpose of the trip and the use of funds from a wealthy donor.
