Nigel Farage has announced he will resign as the MP for Clacton, triggering a by-election that he intends to contest while denying any wrongdoing over questions surrounding financial support he received before entering Parliament. The Reform UK leader said he wanted voters, not political opponents or the media, to decide his future. “The people of Clacton should be the judges of my actions,” Farage said, insisting, “I have done nothing wrong. I have not broken the law in any way at all. I have not misused public money.” He also accused the political establishment of targeting his party, claiming parliamentary standards investigations were being used as “a political tool.” Farage argued the by-election would allow voters to “stick two fingers up at the entire establishment.” His resignation temporarily pauses an ongoing parliamentary standards investigation into a reported £5 million gift, which will resume if he is re-elected. Major opposition parties have indicated they will not field candidates against him.
