Nigel Farage is paid £4,000 a month to write a weekly column for the Telegraph. I’ve never seen any evidence of anything Farage has written so it seems likely they are ghost written.
Its fair to say that the Telegraph is sympathetic to Farage and Reform. However on 28th May it called out the plans for Government he had outlined on 27th May. As the graphic above shows the cost would likely be up to half the current Government budget.
The LibDems called the plans Trussenomics on steroid, but Farage of course welcomed her short lived Budget measures in the autumn of 2022.
Theatre is an important part of politics, something Farage understands well (and Starmer doesnt) but when a political ally calls out his fantasy economics (as does the Murdoch Times on 28th May) it is at the least an interesting political moment
