    Well to clarify, he’s not the highest earning MP, he’s the person with the highest diversified income who also works as an MP.

    The original statement makes it sound - I suspect on purpose for clickbaity effect - as if his high income is due to his MP’s salary.

      I kinda doubt that claim too, given the net worth of people like Sunak, Rees-Mogg, and Zahawi. I’m guessing Farage just doesn’t hide his income as well as some of the others.

      He isn’t. He’s in it so people have to pay attention to him. The money is nice of course.
