Farage resigns to spark Clacton by-election amid donation probes
TL;DR
Nigel Farage resigns as MP for Clacton to force a by-election amid investigations by the Parliamentary Commissioner for Standards over undeclared donations, including a £5 million gift from crypto billionaire Christopher Harborne; Farage says the move is a “people versus the establishment” bid and intends to run again in Clacton, while allies defend his compliance and opponents say the tactic won’t end scrutiny or avert potential sanctions if he returns to Parliament.
