"Recording several a day, he has charged at least £374,893 for them since he joined the platform five years ago. But what has he been saying in them and who has he been making them for? Investigations correspondent Henry Dyer has been looking at the videos and found some disturbing messages. The Reform leader endorsed a neo-Nazi event and repeated extremist slogans."
"He also charged £155 for one video he made for a man he was told had received a 16-month sentence for his involvement in a far-right riot. In others he references antisemitic conspiracy theories and makes misogynistic remarks about leftwing politicians including a comment about the US congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's breasts."
"I think the video shows what he's willing to say for money, ultimately, and what he is willing to do for money. And this is someone who wants to be the next prime minister."
Nigel Farage has generated substantial income through Cameo, a platform for celebrity video messages, earning over £374,000 in five years. Investigations reveal his videos contain disturbing content including endorsements of neo-Nazi events, extremist slogans, antisemitic conspiracy theories, and misogynistic comments about political figures. He charged £155 for a video to a man convicted in a far-right riot. A Reform UK spokesperson dismissed these as informal messages not representing political statements, claiming occasional mistakes occur among thousands of videos. However, critics argue the videos demonstrate what Farage is willing to say and do for money, raising concerns about someone aspiring to become prime minister.
