Nigel Farage was paid £189,000 last year as a brand ambassador for a gold company, taking his total income since July’s election to just under £600,000.

The Clacton MP and Reform UK leader declared the payment for four hours of employment a month with Direct Bullion since July, plus a back payment for work before the election.
