## Resource

The leader of Reform UK, Nigel Farage, has announced he will be standing down as the member of parliament for Clacton, triggering a by-election he will stand in. Also: Prince Harry and six other defendants including Sir Elton John, have lost their privacy case against the publisher of the Daily Mail and Mail on Sunday newspapers. And a signed first edition of a Virginia Woolf book found in a charity shop has fetched more than £25,000 at auction.
