I dislike Nigel Farage but wasn't accountants legally minimising their clients' tax liabilities seen as OK when it was other politicians doing it? That's the age old problem, the very rich can pay less tax than the ordinary working person on PAYE.

Well the more he earns the more tax he’ll pay into the coffers.
There’s usually a silver lining.😄

Yes, he will be paying tax but he knows ways ( or at lest his accountant does) to reduce his liability. His News GB earnings are paid into a company to avoid higher rate tax. A company that has one employee, Nigel Farage himself.

I wonder what the good people in Clacton feel about him? To be honest I’ve not read anything derogatory about his being their MP.

Well, given how little time he spent in Brussels when he was an EU MP they would have voted for him knowing that he’d not bother to do the job he was being paid to do….

He really needs to move to Abu Dhabi.

So Farage has at last submitted his earnings. (Last time was May). He apparently has 12 other jobs apart from being an MP and is the highest earning MP . Up to this July he reportedly earned over £1.2 million from outside jobs. (Twice the next highest earner, Rishi Sunak). No wonder he hardly bothers visiting his Clacton constituents or attending parliament.
