Farage declares earning £270,000 for promoting gold bullion
Farage’s latest register entry says the payment covered 12 hours of work as a brand ambassador, while he faces scrutiny over outside earnings.
- Clacton MP and Reform UK leader Nigel Farage declared £270,000 for work as a Brand Ambassador for Direct Bullion and £18,402 for GB News presenting in his latest register of financial interests.
- Labour MP Richard Burgon invited Farage to attend a Parliamentary debate on banning second jobs, citing that the Reform leader has earned over £1 Million from outside work since becoming an MP.
- The Direct Bullion payment covers an estimated 12 hours of work over three months, equating to £22,500 per hour, though GB News remains Farage's highest earner since 2024 with more than £700,000.
- Separately, Parliament's standards commissioner is investigating a £5 million gift Farage received from Thai-based billionaire Christopher Harborne in 2024, which Farage maintained was a "wholly private matter."
- While critics argue high outside earnings leave MPs out of touch during the cost-of-living crisis, Farage has defended his activities, previously characterizing the security-related gift as a "reward" for Brexit campaigning.
