'Mr Brexit' Nigel Farage to cash in on lucrative coast-to-coast new year speaking tour in 20 American cities

Nigel Farage is set to embark on a lucrative speaking tour across North America to cash in on his status as “Mr Brexit” in the new year.

The interim leader of the UK Independence Party has been booked to speak at events from the east to the west coast of the USA, The Daily Telegraph understands.

The speaking tour could prove to be extremely lucrative to Mr Farage who can make between $10,000 and $30,000 each time.

Sources close to Mr Farage said up to 20 venues had been booked in cities “right across the United States” from Mississippi, Washington DC and Chicago to Cleveland, Los Angeles and Florida.

Nigel Farage already 'looking at exclusive US properties' and wants a job on Fox News

Shameless Nigel Farage has reportedly told pals he might become an immigrant himself - by moving to the USA.

It emerged the former UKIP leader told friends that having “got our country back” by winning the EU referendum , he may now abandon Britain and emigrate with his wife Kirsten to America.

One report said Mr Farage is eyeing up exclusive East Coast properties in Maine and hopes for cushy TV jobs as a commentator on right-wing Fox News, or even a role in Donald Trump’s new administration.

A UKIP spokesman insisted the claims were “nonsense”.


Since UKIP's a stranger to the truth, the reports are most likely true. The heat in the UK's too much for Nigel, UKIP's in big trouble over financial irregularities, and once Brexit actually happens, he'll lose a tidy income for doing absolutely nothing.

For those who don't yet know his background:

to demonstrate he can make alot of money. He'll also sell books. America is the land of opportunity. Do your immigration laws allow that? Because the GOP always has room for one more fearmonger.

which he can pick up just by turning up, insulting someone, and holding a press conference on some steps somewhere. So I doubt he'd do it before 2019.
