153,000 transion pay off!!! all they have to do is get on a train home

If he isn't taking it then fair enough,let's face it he has got enough money from the EU as it is along with gifts and all the media work he has got as a result of it


Farage is one of the highest paid people in the European parliament but had the worst attendance record among British MEPs. Over a four-year period between 2014 and 2018, he took part in only 40% of rollcall votes, according to researchers at VoteWatch Europe.

Nigel Farage is being paid at least €30,000 (£26,900) a month by his media company Thorn in the Side, his latest earnings declaration reveals.

Members of the European parliament are required to declare all income received on top of their pre-tax monthly MEP salaries of €8,758.

A declaration by Farage dated 1 July shows he was paid at least €30,000 a month gross as director of Thorn in the Side Limited. Farage also declared his role as unpaid leader of the Brexit party.

Farage is the sole director of Thorn in the Side, a company he founded in 2011 to handle income from media appearances and lectures. The latest accounts revealed a big jump in the company’s assets, reaching £548,573 for the year to May 2018, compared with just over £157,000 for the previous year.

The European parliament declaration, filed shortly before Farage began his fifth consecutive mandate as an MEP, suggests Thorn in the Side is maintaining healthy post-referendum earnings.

A spokesman for Farage confirmed the Guardian’s reading of the declaration but declined to comment. MEPs are required to report their external incomes to the nearest €10,000.

Farage recently fell foul of the European parliament’s obligation to reveal expenses after it was claimed he had failed to declare lavish gifts from the Brexit-supporting tycoon Arron Banks, including rent on a £4.4m Chelsea home with fixtures and fittings, a car with a driver and a promotional tour in the US.

Farage initially refused to comment on the claims, while Banks dismissed them as a smear.

Last week, a European parliament advisory committee concluded that Farage should face the “highest penalty” for a “serious breach” of the code of conduct, according to a leaked letter obtained by Channel 4 News.

If they stopped his pension would he have to appeal to the ECJ to get it back?

Well they aren't going to speak well of him are they? However he like any ordinary person should be called to account if they are proven to have broken the law,many have profited over the years not least the contemptible Blair who refuses to return under the stone whence he came.
 
11pm - lab rat Britain. We're part of an experiment by mad scientists. How many electric shocks can we give ourselves before we realise it's a bad idea to keep putting our fingers in the socket?

You've got it exactly the wrong way round - the lab rat is the EU running inside its crumbling eurozone wheel going nowhere until it expires.
