Summary
£270,000 is the largest payment Nigel Farage has registered since becoming an MP, covering Direct Bullion promotional work estimated at four hours a month over three months.
Direct Bullion has paid Farage before, including £91,200 in February 2025 and £135,000 in November 2025, while his latest register also lists £18,402 for presenting on GB News.
Labour chair Anna Turley used the disclosure to attack Farage over outside earnings, saying he was prioritizing personal income over his work for Clacton constituents.
Farage is already under scrutiny over an undeclared £5 million gift from crypto investor Christopher Harborne, a matter now being investigated by the Parliamentary Standards Commissioner.
MPs may hold second jobs but must declare income above £300 a year and cannot provide paid parliamentary advice.
