Part-time Farage rakes in another £80k from side jobs
The latest reports of MPs' external earnings are out – and they once again reveal just how much Nigel Farage is raking it in for interests which have nothing to do with serving his constituents in Clacton. New entries to Parliament's register of interests show that the Reform leader received £45,286.80 last month for his presenting gig on GB News. With the time stated being 30 hours' work, that's a whopping £1,509.80 an hour to chat to his mates on camera. Since December Farage has also received £27,342.12 from the video messaging platform Cameo and £3,484.62 from X for his posts – considerably south of the £100m he had hoped to get from its owner, Elon Musk, but still a fair few pints of Old Scrote at Westminster's Feathers pub. He also got £3,715.47 for unspecified 'social media work' from Google. The latest entries mean Farage has now declared an extraordinary £647,000 of additional payments since becoming an MP last July, considerably more than his MP's salary of £91,346. No wonder he's so rarely seen on the Essex coast! The register also shows that Suella Braverman received £1,000 for a presenting stint on cabbies' favourite LBC last month put at five hours' work – although as it was the show in which she regaled listeners with an anecdote about visiting the Italian-Turkish border, despite no such thing existing, she may wonder whether it was worth it. And former chancellor Jeremy Hunt should be able to dip into his personal savings once more to save his seat come the next general election should he wish to, too. He received £22,800 for giving just two speeches, one for an investment event in New York and another to a financial services firm in London. All of which make Green co-leader Carla Denyer's declarations practicality virtuous – three tickets with an estimated total value of £112.50 to attend the premiere of Wallace and Gromit: Vengeance Most Fowl .

Why Wallace and Gromit fans are getting Feathers McGraw tattoos
A month after Feathers McGraw's dramatic return as the silent nemesis of Wallace and Gromit, the villainous penguin from the animated film series seems to have become an unlikely hit at tattoo parlours. McGraw, an evil penguin comically disguised as a chicken thanks to the red rubber glove he wears on his head, is the chief antagonist in Aardman's Oscar-nominated Wallace and Gromit: Vengeance Most Fowl , which aired on Christmas Day. Since the film's release, McGraw has become a viral sensation, with images of him appearing widely online and, according to tattoo artists, on many fans' skin. 'In this last week I did six Feathers,' Faith Garvie, a tattoo artist at Black Moon Tattoo Studio in Liverpool, northwest England, said. 'I've been brought to tears a couple of times because people have been so positively impacted by the tattoos.'
