Reform UK leader and British Member of Parliament (MP) Nigel Farage announced he was resigning from Parliament on Tuesday. Farage claimed he was resigning to force a by-election in his Clacton district and claimed he would run in it."Today I will resign as a Member of Parliament for Clacton-on-Sea, thereby forcing a by-election, which will happen, I hope in short order," he said in a press conference broadcast from the Reform UK YouTube channel."This will be a people vs.the establishment by-election.
It's a chance to stick two fingers up to the entire establishment, to frankly tell them where to go, and that is why I will be putting my name forward to stand in this by-election," he said. CLICK HERE TO DOWNLOAD THE FOX NEWS APPThis is a developing story.
