The Telegraph The Telegraph — 48sec

Nigel Farage has announced that he will trigger a by-election by formally resigning as an MP, in an attempt to defy his political opponents amid a sleaze scandal.

The Reform UK leader announced that he was standing down in his Clacton constituency on Tuesday, and will now stand in the ensuing contest following a string of damaging stories about financial support he has received.
