Starmer continues to accept football ticket upgrades as Farage and Cox outside earnings are revealed
Some MPs have continued to make tens of thousands of pounds in earnings outside their day jobs in parliament, new data shows.
The House of Commons has published the latest register of MPs’ interests, covering donations and outside earnings registered over the Christmas period.
Among the findings, it shows that Reform UK leader Nigel Farage made £37,000 for 12 hours worth of work at GB News, where he is a presenter.
He also accepted £10,000 worth of accommodation and exclusive F1 passes from the government of Abu Dhabi, where he also held meetings.
Meanwhile, Conservative MP and former attorney general Sir Geoffrey Cox earned almost £50,000 for legal work – including £22,100 for the Prime Minister of Mauritius.
Sir Geoffrey also earned £47,000 for work at consultancy firm Global Counsel.
Sir Keir Starmer accepted two lots of ticket upgrades to the directors’ box at Arsenal.
The prime minister has previously defended accepting the ticket upgrades, saying it would “cost the taxpayer a fortune” in security costs were he to watch the games in the stands, where he is a season ticket holder.
The shadow housing secretary, Sir James Cleverly, received £5,950 to deliver a speech to a housing trade magazine.
Angela Rayner, the former deputy prime minister, took £5,000 from a Manchester-based barrister to pay for staffing costs.
Former Tory chancellor Sir Jeremy Hunt made £30,000 for giving a speech to a Hong Kong-based finance business.
And the local party of Daisy Cooper, deputy leader of the Liberal Democrats, accepted £20,000 from a property company.
Independent MP Ayoub Khan earned £1,573 for 184 hours worth of work as a Birmingham City councillor.
Mr Khan is one of multiple MPs who also still serve as a local councillor.
