Reform UK leader Nigel Farage is the highest-paid Member of Parliament. In less than two years as the MP for Clacton, Farage has racked up £2 million in personal income and gifts, on top of his £94,000 a year parliamentary salary.

As DeSmog has revealed, a substantial amount of Farage’s income has come from overseas interests – including foreign governments, companies, and donors.

Our map and tracker, launched in April 2026, provides real-time data on Farage’s funds.

The interactive map allows you to explore the money trail, while the table below provides a full breakdown of the payments and perks received by Reform’s leader.

All the data is based on Farage’s official register of interests, dating back to July 2024.

London, United Kingdom – Far-right politician Nigel Farage is resigning as a member of parliament after revelations about his financial backers, triggering a by-election in which he plans to stand as a candidate.

In a fiery speech on Tuesday, the Reform UK party leader railed against “the establishment” and insisted he has “done nothing wrong” amid growing scrutiny of his funding.

• ‘Brexit has not been the economic disaster many claimed’

“I’ve decided that the people of Clacton should be the judges of my actions,” Farage said, referring to the constituency where he was elected as an MP.

“This will be a people vs the establishment by-election,” he said. “It’s a chance to stick two fingers up to the entire establishment, to frankly tell them where to go.”

But Britain’s main political parties all panned the announcement and said they would boycott the by-election. The governing Labour Party, the opposition Conservatives, the Liberal Democrats and the hard right Restore Britain party all said they would not stand candidates in a contest in Clacton triggered by Farage.

Farage who has led Reform into the mainstream with zealous anti-immigration rhetoric, said he faces “yet another standards investigation” after The Sunday Times revealed he did not declare benefits paid for by a convicted fraudster.

The newspaper reported that George Cottrell, 32, recruited and paid three staff to work on Farage’s social media before the 2024 general election and has continued to allow Farage to use a five-storey Georgian townhouse he rented near Buckingham Palace.

=====================

Britain's parliamentary watchdog will begin an investigation into whether Nigel Farage, leader of the Reform UK party, breached its rules by accepting a 5 million pound ($9.31 million) gift that he did not declare.

After the BBC reported that Reform was being investigated by the Parliamentary Commissioner for Standards over the donation, Reform confirmed it was discussing the matter but insisted no rules had been broken.

Mr Farage, whose right-wing party was the biggest winner in local elections earlier in May, faced accusations from rival political parties in April that he had broken rules by failing to declare the donation from a cryptocurrency investor.
