Nigel Farage resigns as MP for Clacton, triggering by-election which he says he will stand in

The Reform UK leader's statement follows reports he failed to declare financial support from an ally. He has also faced questions over an unregistered £5m gift from a donor.

Farage has taken a gambit on “the people” of his Clacton constituency, hoping they will vote him back in despite currently being investigated for donation fraud.

The parliamentary investigation will continue even if he wins the by-election.

Prepare for an absolute clown show in UK politics over the next month.
