It’s not very surprising that Nigel Farage doesn’t take the time to actually do the job he was elected to do when we learn that he has 9 other paid gigs on the go. And that’s excluding any responsibilities that being both the owner of the private company known as Reform UK and the political leader of that company-party might entail.
Left Foot Forward lists the jobs, along with his earnings since the last British General Election.
- Reform UK MP for Clacton – £93,904
- Commentator on Sky News Australia (News Corp) – £25,368.00 for 19 hours work over ‘several’ months
- Gold Bullion ambassador for Direct Bullion – £280,500 for 4 hours work per month
- TV presenter on GB News – £331,393
- Influencer on Facebook/Meta – £2,794.81
- Influencer on X – £11,111.95
- Personalised videos on Cameo – £125,303.64
- Public speaker at AZ Liberty Network and Nomad Capitalist – £65,378.92
- Journalist at Telegraph – £36,000 (£4,000 per month since August)
- Influencer on Youtube/Google – £17,545.90
Since last July then he’s earned about £900k from his many second jobs – more than any other MP. This is roughly 10x as much as his £93k salary as a member of parliament. That presumably explains why he puts 10x as much effort into his supposedly secondary grifts.
