Nigel Farage resigns from Parliament to trigger by-election amid financial scrutiny.
Reform UK leader Nigel Farage announced on July 7, 2026, that he would resign as MP for Clacton and stand for re-election in a by-election he framed as a contest between the people and the establishment. The move comes amid a parliamentary standards investigation into a £5 million gift from cryptocurrency billionaire Christopher Harborne and questions about financial support from aide George Cottrell. All major UK political parties announced they would not field candidates, leaving satirical candidate Count Binface as Farage's most prominent opponent.
