Is Farage a good MP?

  • Nigel Farage MP rakes it in from TWELVE other jobs

    Highest-earning MP – £1.2m since election

    NIGEL Farage is paid £93,904 per year as MP for Clacton – a faded seaside town, with the UK’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 £1.2 million [full list below].

    This makes him the highest earning MP.

    This does not include rental income from his £3m 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: “There’s a lot going on and life isn’t about how much you spend doing each individual thing, it’s if you do that thing well.”

  • 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 – 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 won’t be holding face-to-face surgeries for local residents in Clacton – normally a key part of an MP’s job.

    Mr Farage told reporters: “Do 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 I’m not.”

    The Parliamentary Security Department offers advice to MPs on running constituency surgeries safely.
