Nine-job Nigel Farage raked in £570k in extra earnings on top of £91k MP's salary

Nigel Farage has nine extra jobs and earns the highest amount of any MP outside of the Commons, new figures have revealed.

They lay bare the amount of money Parliamentarians earn from second, third, fourth - and in Mr Farage's case even ninth - jobs. It comes as the Government looks to shake up the rules on outside earnings.

Currently MPs are allowed to juggle their day-to-day duties in the Commons with additional work, just as long as they declare it. Since being elected to represent the people of Clacton in July, Reform UK boss Mr Farage has declared £571,585 on top of his £91,346 salary.

Meanwhile Tory Sir Geoffrey Cox has pocketed the next biggest sum - £228,700 - in that time. And former Tory minister George Freeman has received over £80,500 since the election. The Government is currently drawing up new rules - but have ruled out a blanket ban.
