"I think we can put the 'man of the people' thing to bed."

A confirmed log of Nigel Farage’s private jet activity has revealed that he has taken over 60 trips in a private jet so far this year. 

Analysis by Reform UK Party Exposed found that between 30 January and 27 April this year, Farage flew in a private jet at least 57 times on 24 separate days, using 11 different aircraft.

Despite trying to paint himself as a “man of the people” who represents ‘alarm clock Britain’, Farage has been exposed for regularly travelling by private jet – a luxury accessible only to the super-rich. 

In a post on X, Reform UK Party Exposed wrote: “Seems @Nigel_Farage is addicted to private jet travel.

“He’s taken over 60 private jet flights in the UK alone this year. This doesn’t include international flights to the USA and Davos, and doesn’t include helicopter flights.”

Given his heavy private jet usage, the group also said: “I think we can put the ‘man of the people’ thing to bed.”

The Reform leader is even recorded as having flown by private jet from Biggin Hill in London to Farnborough airfield, a journey of around 50 miles. 

He also flew from London to Brighton, which takes just over an hour on the train. Farage also recently flew to Wales by helicopter, then drove to the event to appear ‘normal’. 

The log also records jet flights to Cardiff, Manchester, Leeds Bradford, Liverpool, Newcastle, Birmingham, Glasgow, Aberdeen, all of which are accessible by train or car. 

In a post about Farage’s flight activity, campaign group Our Fair Future noted that flying by private jet “is the most polluting way to travel a human being has ever invented”.

The log of Farage’s flight activity does not include international flights or helicopter trips he has taken so far this year.

These include his flights to the World Economic Forum in Davos in January, which was funded by an Iranian-born billionaire, and his trip to Donald Trump’s residence in Mar-a-Lago, Florida in March.
