The Guardian reported that Nigel Farage will no longer write a regular column for the Telegraph, joining a wave of prominent right‑wing figures to leave the paper since its new owners took control. Some sources say the owners terminated his contract, while others close to the Reform UK leader claim he resigned. Farage, who wrote for the broadsheet as recently as last week, used his column to condemn the first budget of Andy Burnham’s premiership and pledged to “scrap benefits for foreigners, abolish net zero targets” and “slash foreign aid”.
Why it matters
His exit highlights the shifting editorial direction of the Telegraph under new ownership.
