Farage is a GB news shareholder and is paid through a private company for his appearances on the channel.
So, here he is shit-stirring with Trump over the BBC and grifting his nasty little arse off…
There is really nothing of ours he won’t ruin to grab for power and wealth for himself.

White House is going all out to make GB News feel at home Simon Marks (Extract from article) When Donald Trump visited the UK in mid-September; not not enough attention was paid at the time to one history-making element of his joint press conference with Sir Keir Starmer: Both men proffered their traditional opening statements, and then turned to questions from the assembled press corps. After Starmer invited Trump to select an American reporter to pose a question. Trump instead directed his gaze at Bev Turner, the GB News anchor who had recently relocated to Washington, DC. Turner had travelled back to the UK aboard Air Force One, and, for the first time in recorded history, an American president failed at first blush to pick a reporter representing a US-based news outlet to ask a question while on foreign soil. Today, as Trump threatens to sue the BBC for $Ibn ($760m) over Panorama's clumsy editing of his 6 January 2021 speech ahead of the Capitol riots, GB News is in the ascendancy at the White House. From the moment Turner arrived to expand the network's Washington bureau, Trump and his top lieutenants have embraced her nightly, two-hour live broadeast as a vehicle for advancing the US President's agenda. The White House press secretary, Karoline Leavitt, has slammed the BBC, posting on X over the weekend that BBC News "is dying because they are anti-Trump Fake News" while going on to say that "everyone should watch GBNEWS!” Nigel Farage's admission that he discussed the BBC crisis with Trump on Friday is also a fresh indication of trouble ahead for Starmer, who should fear the open communication between the two political soulmates, as well as the US administration's backing of GB News. In short: Trump has got the BBC and its fact-based journalism on the run - and GB News is enthusiastically on his side. * LEFT FOOT FORWARD Reform UK leader Nigel Farage has increased his shareholding in GB News, as the arch Brexiteer continues to deepen his relationship with the right-wing channel. According to the latest documents filed to Companies House this week, Farage has increased his shares from 300,000 to 500,000. It comes as Farage continues to rake it in from the channel, making £60,000 for just 20 hours of work according to his latest register of interests.
