## Resource

British MP Nigel Farage has resigned as an MP triggering a by-election in the constituency of Clacton-on-Sea which he says he will stand in. It comes amid a row over his financial support, after The Sunday Times reported he had not declared benefits, including staff and security, received from his ally George Cottrell, who was convicted of fraud in the US. “I’ve done nothing wrong” Farage said on a live stream provided by his UK Reform party and broadcast on British news channels. Hugh speaks to our London Correspondent Mark Paul in the moments after the speech about what this move represents for British politics, and what happens next. Produced by Andrew McNair.  Would you like to receive daily insights into world events delivered to your inbox?
