Nigel Farage’s regular column for the Telegraph to end

Some sources suggest owners have terminated contract but others close to Farage say Reform leader has resigned

Nigel Farage will no longer write a regular column for the Telegraph, becoming the latest prominent rightwing figure to leave the title’s roster under its new ownership.

The Reform UK leader wrote for the broadsheet as recently as last week, condemning the first budget of Andy Burnham’s premiership and pledging to “scrap benefits for foreigners, abolish net zero targets” and “slash foreign aid”.

However, the Guardian understands that his contract to write regularly for the title is to end.

There appears to be a dispute over the reasons behind the termination of the contract, which paid Farage about £4,000 a month, according to the register of MPs’ financial interests.
