Farage Says He’s Forcing By-Election in His Constituency

Reform UK leader Nigel Farage announces his intention to resign as a Member of Parliament, therefore forcing a by-election in his Clacton constituency — a vote in which he will stand. The announcement comes as the right wing leader faces increasing scrutiny over undeclared gifts he received in the run-up to the 2024 general election. “I’ve decided that the people of Clacton should be the judges of my actions,” Farage says.
