Nigel Farage RESIGNS And FLEES Westminster? Critics Brand Resignation a ‘DESPERATE Political Stunt’

Nigel Farage has dramatically resigned as MP for Clacton, triggering a surprise by-election that has sent shockwaves through British politics. The Reform UK leader says he wants voters—not Westminster—to judge him amid growing scrutiny over his finances and undeclared donation allegations. Farage insists he has done nothing wrong, accusing the political establishment and media of using investigations as a weapon against him. Critics, however, have branded the move a "desperate political stunt" and a waste of taxpayers' money, while major parties have refused to contest the by-election.
