Farage and Trump's blatant greed is sucking the political lifeblood out of them
The twinkle of wealth is too much for him. Nigel Farage knows that if he keeps on giving in to temptation it will damage him, but he just can’t help himself.
He is in love with money. He has amassed more of it than any normal person could possibly need, and yet he instinctively grasps for more – despite the damage to his reputation, despite the hit to his political fortune. He’s hooked.
Today’s revelation, published in the register of MPs’ interests, is that the Reform leader has earned £270,000 for just 12 hours work over three months advertising gold bullion. Nice work if you can get it. It’s in addition to the £91,200 he declared in February 2025 from the same company and £135,000 in November 2025.
This cash comes on top of the £18,402 he received from presenting a show on the loss-making GB News channel and the £80,000 he previously registered from filming personalised messages on the Cameo website. Perhaps he’s barely aware of it. It all pales into insignificance next to the £5m he was given by Thai-based crypto billionaire Christopher Harborne.
The revelation of that donation has fundamentally altered Reform’s fortunes. Instead of the usual softball interviews in which Farage could present his political agenda without interruption, journalists suddenly treated him much more harshly. In recent interviews, his mock-joviality suddenly crumbled, leaving this angry little man. “It’s literally none of your business,” Farage barked........
