ITN Productions has been commissioned by 5 to produce a 1 x 60’ documentary examining Reform UK’s leader Nigel Farage’s finances.
The documentary comes off the back of the Parliamentary Standards Commission’s paused investigation into financial gifts to Farage and yesterday’s by-election the former Clacton MP triggered by opting to re-contest his seat.
Nigel Farage – Where Does the Money Come From? will put Farage’s finances under the microscope to ask how the leader of Reform UK has built such a sizeable fortune. It will unravel the combination of donors, companies and payments that have reportedly landed him more than £2 million in outside income since entering Parliament in 2024 – plus millions more over the course of his political career.
A cast of expert contributors will consider reported payments, donations and gifts involving two crypto financiers, alongside parliamentary and media scrutiny, to examine where Farage’s money may have come from.
Jeremy Daldry, Deputy Head of UK Factual, ITN Productions, said: “Nigel Farage’s political reach has the potential to have a huge impact on our nation. The Parliamentary Standards Commission’s investigation on his finances makes it the perfect time to unpack this story.”
Federico Ruiz, Commissioning Editor, 5, said: “Topical, reactive documentaries are part of our DNA here at 5, and the questions around Farage’s finances really matter to our viewers. We dig deep into the publicly available information to examine the facts.”
ITN Productions recent documentaries for 5 include Air India Disaster: The Unanswered Questions and The Beckhams’ Billions: How Did They Get So Rich?.
Nigel Farage: Where Does the Money Come From? is executive produced by Jeremy Daldry, Deputy Head of Factual ITN Productions. Producer/Directors are Katie Harris and Chris Price-Morgan, Production Manager is Rusen Boztas and Production Coordinator is Laura Straker. Post production was carried out in-house at ITN Post. The documentary was commissioned by Federico Ruiz at 5.
