Nigel Farage: My shock resignation is how we can all fight back against the establishment
Nigel Farage resigns as MP for Clacton to trigger a by-election, arguing that the establishment, including the Labour government, Conservatives and the media, is attempting to undermine Reform UK and prevent it from gaining power. He cites personal and political attacks, changes to voting rules and electoral systems, and attempts to cancel local elections as evidence of coordinated efforts to weaken his party. He urges Clacton voters to back him to challenge what he describes as an establishment seeking to rewrite democratic rules.
