Farage Steps Down, Eyes Clacton Seat | London News

Nigel Farage is stepping down from his Clacton seat but plans to run again in the August 6 byelection, framing it as a grassroots showdown against the establishment. With major parties sitting this one out, the only real challenger is novelty candidate Count Binface. Farage’s resignation was formally approved by Chancellor Rachel Reeves, who cheekily suggested she wouldn’t stop him from “arguing with a bin” over the summer. Reform UK will formally request the writ tomorrow, setting the stage for a high-stakes, low-opposition race that could reshape the political landscape.
