Farage resigns as MP, charts Clacton by-election amid donation probes
TL;DR Summary
Nigel Farage has stepped down as Reform UK's MP for Clacton to trigger a by-election while facing parliamentary investigations into undeclared donations, including a £5m sum; major parties will not field candidates, aiming to let voters decide, and Farage says he will stand again. If re-elected he could still be suspended, potentially triggering another by-election, while Reform UK insists the move shows voter support for its cause.
