Farage said he would need ‘a million a year’ to stand as MP in 2024Exclusive: Politician spoke to senior figures in Reform in March that year about covering lost earnings, sources tell the Guardian Nigel Farage told senior figures in Reform UK he would need “a million a year” to cover lost earnings if he stood for parliament in the 2024 general election, sources have told the Guardian, raising further questions about why he was given £5m by a crypto billionaire. Sources say the discussion took place in March 2024 – shortly before the undeclared gift was made by Christopher Harborne on 5 April, according to the Thailand-based crypto billionaire’s lawyers.

Rest of non-wingnut country: not sure how we'll cope without you, but seriously, fuck that.

Hmmm, how many years in a Parliament? Let's see... one... two... three... four... five. Now, how many millions in five million pounds? Let's see... one... two... three... four... five. Incredible coincidence, that.

Unfortunately, when you're as much of a sell-out to corporate interests as Farage, a million a year is very easy to come by.

That has to be the worst value for £1 million a year. Farage is the poor man's Trump clone.

What’s Farage delivered?🤷 He’s never in Clacton 😳 He’s never in Parliament 😳 He lied about & promoted the UK’s worst political decision ever - Brexit thats cost us £Billions & he’s irresponsible 😳 He’s useless & constantly lies. Based on those proven FACTs his annual value is nil -£0 P/A 😞

Wonder if I lied about my earnings from past employment someone would come along and offer me £5m. Lying can be a lucrative business.

Farage is coining it in. Now he must argue with a bin to return to Parliament

So its a bribe then? Hes literally asked for money to be an mp and got paid to stand so that is an actual bribe!

FabuAL

Apparently someone got arrested for threatening to shoot garage in the head a few years ago, is farage being arrested and questioned for whipping up racial hatred or is it ok if you spread hatred as a politician?

Farage used to call that Freedom of Speech. Well he does when he invites a woman onto the Reform plc hoedown who was convicted for inciting a riot and calling for them to burn down a building full of asylum seekers, exclaiming she didn't care if the b bs died. Two tier, flipflop Farage.

I'm no tax expert, but that does sound an awful lot like a work payment, which therefore would be liable for income tax. So did it go on his self assessment? One for HMRC or Dan Neidle....

Rather he get a milkshake a year

It's all about the grift with most politicians, isn't it?

Grumpy Muppet

And he got given £5mn by a crypto billionaire. And then as an MP he lobbied the Bank of England to change proposals that would harm said crypto billionaire. Hmmmm...

Andrew Jones

I wonder if Harborne can get a refund given Farage hasn't served the whole 5 years?

Nigel Pepper

a real "man of the people"

A true public servant. Doing his best for the people of Clacton is reward enough for this honourable man.

Corrupt as fuck. What a surprise.
