Nigel Farage Quits as MP, Triggers By-Election

Farage framed his resignation as a fight against 'the establishment' as he faced scrutiny over an undeclared £5 million gift from a crypto billionaire.

Bankers reported the donation to the National Crime Agency over money-laundering concerns.

Labour's chair called the report 'deeply serious' and urged Farage to cooperate with authorities.

The by-election could cost taxpayers more than £275,000.
