## Resource

Nigel Farage says he's "never been angrier in his life". He's accusing the media of intimidating his family. He's claimed standards are being weaponised to go after him. And for that, he's asking the people of Clacton to stomach a by-election and re-elect him as their MP. Farage is framing it as a 'People vs The Establishment' contest - but is it more of a smokescreen to move the conversation away from the growing questions around his finances? Will the gamble work? And will it actually solve anything for Farage - or is this a Trumpian tactic taken from a point of weakness? The News Agents is a Global Production.
