Enda Brady: UK Correspondent on Reform UK's Nigel Farage triggering a by-election in Clacton amid financial scrutiny

from The Mike Hosking Breakfast · host Newstalk ZB

Hard-right politician Nigel Farage is resigning from UK Parliament, only to stand again.   The Reform Party Leader's running in the Clacton by-election after triggering a vote when he stood down as MP.   He remains under financial scrutiny for not declaring a £5 million gift, but currently only has joke-candidate Count Binface standing in his way.  UK Correspondent Enda Brady told Mike Hosking he's sure he'll win, despite the public being sick of him.   But he says if Farage thinks he's saving democracy and isn't spraying cash – hosting a by-election costs around £2 million.  LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
