Nigel Farage has refuted claims that he receives close to £98,000 monthly for his appearances on GB News.

The leader of Reform UK was commenting on stories regarding his additional earnings.

The financial disclosure report released on Friday shows that Mr. Farage earns £97,928 each month from the network.

Commenting on platform X, he clarified: "Just to be transparent, the payment from GB News that was reported includes VAT and covers multiple months of work. This payment was made to my company, which incurs considerable expenses."

Mr. Farage informed the BBC that his earnings from GB News vary since he is paid as a contractor and does not receive a consistent monthly salary.

The MP for Clacton has returned to the airwaves after putting his show on hold during the general election.

Mr. Farage disclosed in the parliamentary register that he receives £4,000 monthly from The Daily Telegraph and was paid £16,597 for creating personalized video messages on the Cameo platform.
