Nigel Farage, the leader of Reform UK was paid £97,928.40 per month for 32 hours of work to present GB news. The amount is more than that of the annual salary of a Member of Parliament (MP), which is currently set at £91,346 plus expenses.
Meanwhile, Farage’s party colleague, Lee Anderson earns £100,000 a year from GB News for just eight hours of work per month.
According to the register of members’ financial interests, which records MPs’ secondary employment, donations, gifts and other benefits, Farage also received £4,000 a month writing articles for the Daily Telegraph, the Sky news reported.
According to the register of financial interests of members, which tracks MPs’ secondary employment, donations and other benefits, Farage also received an additional £4,000 monthly for writing articles for the Daily Telegraph. He also earned £4,000 from Cameo, a platform where well-known people record personalised videos for paying customers.
Farage, whose victory in Clacton at the election won him a parliamentary seat for the first time, also said that he had been gifted a donation of £32,836 by businessman Christopher Harborne to visit the US on 17 July, according to various media reports.
Farage won a seat in Britain’s parliament at the eighth attempt and was as determined to be as much of a “bloody nuisance” there as he was to European Union leaders as a member of the European Parliament.
The election of the 60-year-old former commodities trader by the English town of Clacton-on-Sea is the culmination of a political career forged from his loathing of the EU’s project for closer union and hatred for the Conservative Party.
Farage, a driving force behind Britain’s decision to leave the European Union, only entered the race at the last moment, a move that caused shockwaves in a Conservative Party that was already polling far behind centre-left Labour.
