Farage was always master of the grift.

Remember 10 years ago when @carolecadwalla and I revealed his Leave EU team were in and out of the Russian Embassy in the run up to Brexit, looking for Kremlin gold and diamond deals?

Farage must have known, and approved.

Ten years ago

A full timeline of Nigel Farage’s grift and corruption

1. 2001–2014: Rent-free office scandal
Farage used office space rent-free, failed to declare the benefit properly, and was fined by the Electoral Commission.

2. 2015–2016:
Whilst serving as an MEP, Farage’s EFDD group spent around €1.8 million of EU taxpayer funds improperly on his “Say No to EU” Brexit campaign activity, including paying for rallies in the UK, venue hire, banners etc

3. 2016–2019: Farage’s Brexit movement was heavily funded by Arron Banks. Questions over the source of funding were referred by the Electoral Commission to the National Crime Agency.

4. 2017–2018:
The European Parliament docked Farage’s MEP salary to recover around €40,000 after concluding parliamentary funds had been improperly claimed for staff costs.

5. 2018:
A European political party closely linked to UKIP and Farage’s parliamentary group was ordered to repay €1.1 million after investigators found EU grants had been improperly used for national political campaigning, including campaigns in the UK directly supporting UKIP.

6. 2019:
Channel 4 News and The Guardian reported that Banks gave Farage benefits worth around £450,000, including accommodation, transport and overseas travel.

7. 2019:
The Electoral Commission warned the Brexit Party’s online donation system was at “high and ongoing risk” of accepting impermissible donations and required stronger controls.

8. 2019:
Crypto billionaire Christopher Harborne donated around £6.4 million to the Brexit Party, beginning a financial relationship that continues today.

9. 2021 onwards:
Farage earns £400,000 a year from GB News whilst serving as the leader of a UK political party.

10. 2023:
Farage received around £1.5 million for appearing on I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here.

14. 2024–2026:
Since becoming MP for Clacton, Farage has declared more than £2 million in outside earnings from media, speaking engagements, commercial partnerships, including activity closely linked to lobbying for policies that benefit his private funders.

15. 2025:
A complaint alleged undeclared election spending during Farage’s 2024 campaign. Essex Police took no action because the statutory time limit had expired.

16. 2025–2026:
Farage failed to declare 17 separate payments, worth around £380,000, within the required parliamentary deadlines. The Standards Commissioner found the breaches were inadvertent.

17. 2026:
Farage declared £270,000 from Direct Bullion for promotional work while sitting in Parliament, equivalent to around £22,500 per hour.

A true public servant and man of the people.

Portes "Theres a lot of nonsense talked, including on Sky, about the spiralling welfare bill.. as a proportion of our national income.. its lower than it was 15yrs ago & its pretty much back to what it was under Thatcher.. this idea its out of control is just wrong"

Spot on!

[Rob @Rob__Friar]

Every single @reformparty_uk voter would be screaming resign if Keir Starmer was caught taking a secret £5mil payment #BRIBE and then secretly buying houses for cash
So why is it ok for @Nigel_Farage to be #Corrupt to Reformerphiles
Reform voters only care about racism and flags

[HUMAN WA$TE @Dplanet]

🚨🇬🇧 ANALYSIS: Tommy Robinson Inc.

Tommy Robinson raised millions from the public, ran it through companies that never filed a single set of accounts, and dissolved them owing the taxman over £300,000.

Not filing accounts is a crime. No one stopped him.

People ask how he affords the lifestyle. Wrong question. Look at the paperwork.

Let's take a closer look 🧵⬇️

Exactly 10 years since the Brexit vote, the verdict is in.

All this in two years. @Keir_Starmer.

Feel free to share.

EXCL: Nigel Farage has been trying to block Bank of England cryptocurrency plan that could be costly for billionaire bankrolling his party.

Reform UK leader has said Christopher Harborne wants nothing in exchange for millions donated to party and undeclared £5m personal gift to Farage revealed by Guardian.

But Farage used private meeting at Bank to urge governor to drop plans for state-run alternative to digital currency that has made his Thailand-based benefactor one of richest people in world.

Cracking tale from @tomburgis

For those sucking up and regurgitating all the misinformation because it suits the narratives that outrage you:

1) YouTube is not being banned. The under-16 friendly version remains available. Content design for adults does not.

2) BlueSky has not been exempted. No definitive list has been published yet.

Social media was created for adults, not children. Over the years it has been used by more and more by children to access unsuitable, addictive and damaging content. Mental health issues in kids has accellerated sharply since they began regularly accessing this content, including a 50% rise in suicide rates over just 10 years.

If you are outraged by legislation designed to provide significant protection for children, then you are the problem, not the legislation.

[Carole Cadwalladr @carolecadwalla]

A) This a properly brilliant piece of investigative journalism by BBC & @hopenothate. Huge kudos to all involved.

B) The Kremlin operative who BBC names as directing arson attacks against Keir Starmer was taught his tradecraft by…drumroll…Sergei Nalobin !!! Pictured here with Boris Johnson. Also: the star of our podcast series, Sergei & the Westminster Spy Ring! Wtaf

@Lawton_Times Obviously a brief. Sir Jim wants the rich men to help his tax haven

[Martyn @MartynUTD7]

One of the biggest problems of today is journalists like Fabrizio pull a figure out of thin air and publish it as a transfer valuation. It’s people like him who inflate the prices so much these days.

[Fabrizio Romano @FabrizioRomano]

🚨🇵🇹 Manchester United remain keen on Mateus Fernandes with more clubs also in the race.

José Mourinho mentioned his name to Real Madrid yesterday, more Premier League clubs showing interest.

Price tag around £85m.
