Nigel Farage, the former leader of Ukip, has bemoaned being “53, separated and skint” in an interview, saying “there’s no money in politics”.
In a new interview in the Daily Mail, Farage discusses his personal life and his 24-year-long political career, while claiming his “contempt for career politicians knows no bounds”.
“There’s no money in politics, particularly doing it the way I’ve done it – 20 years of spending more than you earn,” he told the newspaper.
Farage has faced criticism on social media for his claims that he is “skint”, with many pointing out he lives in a £4 million (about €4.5 million) townhouse in London’s Chelsea and has been taking a salary as an MEP for southeast England since 1999.
He also recently said he would not give up his annual pension from the EU, understood to be worth £73,000 a year.
