Reform UK leader Nigel Farage is placing his political future directly in the hands of voters amid investigations into alleged undeclared financial support.
Nigel Farage has announced his resignation as the MP for Clacton, triggering a special election in which he intends to stand again.
Farage accused sections of the British media and political authorities of conducting a politically motivated campaign against him, claiming the pressure has placed both his life and the lives of his family members at risk.
The Reform UK leader is facing scrutiny over allegations that he failed to properly declare financial gifts and other forms of support, including security, staffing and accommodation. Farage denies wrongdoing and says he has not misused public money.
