Nigel Farage has announced he will resign as the MP for Clacton, saying he will fight a by-election.

The Reform UK leader made the announcement during a speech on Tuesday that was recorded and distributed by Reform UK with no opportunity given for any media questions.

Following mounting scrutiny over financial support given to him, Farage said he had “not broken the law in any way at all” and that he had “not misused public money”. #nigelfarage #clacton
