Payments included those from GB News.
Nigel Farage has apologised for 17 breaches of the MPs’ code of conduct after failing to declare external earnings.
A probe by the parliamentary commissioner for standards found that the Reform UK leader had breached the MPs’ code of conduct on 17 occasions by failing to register financial interests on time.
These 17 breaches culminated to over £380,000 in external income, payments which included appearances on GB News and money earned through the video-message app Cameo.
Farage’s party have not commented on the matter, although the Independent reported that a party source said that the Reform leader had been late in declaring his earnings.
The report into Farage’s earnings was published on Tuesday.
Standards commissioner Daniel Greenberg said: “Following a complaint from a member of the public that Mr Nigel Farage had registered interests outside the 28-day time limit set by the House, I undertook a wider review of Mr Farage’s entry in the Register of Members’ Financial Interests.
“Having done so, I identified several other interests that appeared to have been registered late, and I opened a formal inquiry on 30 October 2025 to investigate Mr Farage’s compliance with Rule 5 of the Code of Conduct.
“During my investigation, I established that there had been seventeen breaches of Rule 5 of the Code by Mr Farage’s failure to add interests within the 28-day period set by the House.”
Greenberg did conclude, however, that the breaches were “inadvertent” and due to “staffing and other administrative issues”.
He added that Farage has since apologised and has committed himself to meet the deadline on time in the future.
Last December, Farage told Greenberg that the late declarations were a result of the rapidly increasing size of his party.
He said: “The only explanation is that our political lives have exploded in the last 18 months in ways that we could never have comprehended. We are overwhelmed in every sense.”
However, a Labour Party spokesperson said: “Nigel Farage is so distracted with tempting failed Tory politicians into his party that he can’t even get the basics right. He isn’t on the side of working people – he’s just lining his pockets when he should be standing up for his constituents.
“He boasts about making money ‘because I’m Nigel Farage’, raking in millions through various outside jobs. But he neglects to do the important work that hard-pressed taxpayers fork out for him to do.
“Labour will tighten the rules on MPs’ second jobs to make sure the public get the attention they expect and deserve from their elected representatives.”
This said, Labour leader and PM Keir Starmer has also fallen foul these breaches, failing to make declarations before the last general election.
