Is Farage a good MP?

  • Nigel Farage MP rakes it in from TWELVE other jobs

    Highest-earning MP โ€“ ยฃ1.2m since election


    NIGEL Farage is paid ยฃ93,904 per year as MP for Clacton โ€“ a faded seaside town, with the UKโ€™s poorest neighbourhood Jaywick. Yet he is finding time to do TWELVE other jobs on the side.

    Between his election in Summer 2024 and October 2025, Mr Farage declared extra earnings of around ยฃ1.2 million [full list below].

    This makes him the highest earning MP.

    This does not include rental income from his ยฃ3m portfolio of three buy-to-let houses.

    He has declared spending an average of 22 hours a week on these sidelines.

    He told the BBC in August 2024: โ€œThere’s a lot going on and life isnโ€™t about how much you spend doing each individual thing, itโ€™s if you do that thing well.โ€

  • Farage in Parliament: Ranked bottom for voting, speaking… And no surgeries

    NIGEL Farage spoke in Parliament far less often in his first year than any other British party leader โ€“ and turned up to vote less often too.

    But he found time for five trips to the USA in his first six months as an MP. In March 2025 he headlined a Donald Trump fundraiser in Florida.

    He also announced he wonโ€™t be holding face-to-face surgeries in Clacton โ€“ normally a key part of an MPโ€™s job.

    Mr Farage told reporters: โ€œDo I have an office in Clacton? Yes. Am I allowing the public to flow through the door with their knives in their pockets? No, no Iโ€™m not.โ€
