“Farage’s foreign income: Mapping his millions...”
by Sam Bright on Substack
@uk_politics
@UKLabour
@ZackPolanski“The Reform leader is the UK’s highest-earning MP, which is no mean feat given the volume of greed amassed in the House of Commons.
By my calculations, Farage has clocked up nearly £2 million in income and gifts since he was elected as the member for Clacton in July 2024”
[..]
“But one of the most striking findings is the amount of money earned by Reform’s leader – the guy who wants to be the next UK prime minister – from overseas interests, including foreign governments”
