Rob Barber

Rob Barber (born 1983)[1] is an English professional motorcycle racer, and has also been described as an "IT consultant."

Barber won the only running of the TTXGP in 2009, the forerunner to the TT Zero.[2]

In the TT Zero, Barber has multiple podium finishes, including a second place in 2010 Isle of Man TT and third at the 2013 Isle of Man TT and 2014 Isle of Man TT.[3]

Together with his father Phil, Barber runs the PRB Racing team.[1]

On 21 November 2019, on an episode of the BBC Television programme Question Time, during the run-up to the 2019 United Kingdom general election, accompanied by his mother, Barber claimed that, although his annual income was over £80,000, this placed him in the lower 50% of United Kingdom earners; he repeatedly and aggressively called the Labour parliamentary candidate Richard Burgon "a liar" for stating otherwise.[1][4] Jolyon Maugham, a barrister specialising in tax law, has confirmed that an income of £80,000+ per year would in fact place Barber in the top three per cent of UK earners.[1]
