Nigel Farage breached MPs' rules 17 times

They are all lining their pockets.

BBC lunch time news - Farage earns over £1.000.000pa on top of his MP pay.

Just gobsmacked people can't see the total greed when they do to the ballot box. He' just lining his pockets.

I do wonder how much money is quietly being slushed into MPs pockets via crypto currency, the dream way for the dishonest to hide their crimes!

"Inadvertent errors" don't happen regularly over eight months.

I do hope HMRC will be taking a close look at this.

I doubt it will make a jot of difference to detemined Reform voters. They will just right this off as part of the "maverick" character they love.

I agree.
I mean despite everything Trump has been up to I imagine many of his followers are still supporting him because they see him as bucking the trend, breaking rules because he is a bit of a renegade rather than pro establishment.
Fact is both Farage and Trump don’t give a monkeys about representing the people but more about lining their own pockets and being in the limelight. Both spivs and chancers.

Right his off??? Write this off. Brain not functioning well today.

I imagine Angela Rayner is pretty pissed off about it. Rightly so.
Awful man in every way.

And Rachel Reeves.

She got a good lamabast on here for an error her husband and letting agent made

"Nigel Farage apologises for breaching rules on MPs outside earnings SEVENTEEN TIMES by failing to declare £384,000 from second jobs on time
By DAVID WILCOCK, DEPUTY POLITICAL EDITOR

Nigel Farage has apologised after being found to have breached MPs rules on outside earnings seventeen times.

The Reform leader broke the code of conduct by failing to declare more than £384,000 from jobs including presenting on GB News and promoting a gold bullion firm.

Standards Commissioner Daniel Greenberg launched a formal investigation into Mr Farage's wider financial affairs following a complaint from a member of the public.

The Reform leader is one of the MPs with the highest earnings from second jobs he does on top of his £94,000 role as MP for Clacton.

He rakes in more than £1million in 2025 from jobs including presenting on television and producing personalised video messages on the Cameo website.

But MPs have to declare any payments in the Register of Interests within 28 days of receipt and he did not do so on 17 occasions.

In a report released today, Mr Greenberg said the rule breaches had been 'inadvertent because of staffing and other administrative issues.'

In a letter to the watchdog, Mr Farage said was 'sincerely sorry,' blaming the error on the sheer number of well-paid outside jobs he does

Interesting, huh, with council elections coming up - how far will they back Reform or will this be a "blip".

Journalist Pippa Crear has posted a schedule of the breaches.

They start with a failure to declare on time a payment of over £15,000 from convicted felon George Cottrell for an internal US flight for NJ to Palm Beach in December 2024 to regular gigs in 2025 for GB News up to July 2025.

I read that:

Penalties for MPs failing to declare interests vary from public apologies and corrective training to suspension, fines, or even expulsion, depending on severity, with the Commissioner for Standards and Committee on Standards handling investigations, often resolved by "rectification" (apology/correction) but serious cases referred to the House for harsher sanctions like suspension or loss of salary.

Farage has got off very lightly this time but maybe next time Greenberg will find his teeth and suspend him. Expulsion would be even better. Or at least suspend his salary as he refuses to serve the people he was elected to serve.

I'm happy to join in on the lambasting of Farage. Dreadful man.
Where should I start 🤔

It is a pattern isn’t it?

The pound shop Trump is simply following his admired leader.

Rules are not for him.

I hope people bear this in mind when they are in the ballot box.

This wasn’t just an isolated incident but a regular pattern of failure to declare including five GB News payments of almost £200,000.

Farage is alleged to spend a million a year on security but can’t employ a PA to deal with this kind of thing?

He claims he “doesn’t do computers”. What nonsense.

Daniel Greenberg is far too soft on MPs over breaches of codes and regulations.

I imagine Angela Rayner is pretty pissed off about it. Rightly so.
Awful man in every way.

Lambast away.

Rules are rules…

Farage deserves the full wrath of the ‘let’s beat politicians with a stick for alleged mistakes made’ brigade, if anyone wants to act as an apologist maybe they could tell us why.
