Reform UK leader Nigel Farage has announced his resignation as the MP for Clacton, triggering a "people versus the establishment" by-election.
Addressing the nation with a live statement, Mr Farage said: "I could go out and try and make some real big money. I could go to the USA where I’ve got plenty of offers.
"And then I thought, why should I be judged today or in the future by Sky News or the media? Why should they be the people that decide my fate when as I repeat I’ve done nothing wrong?
"I’ve thought about it hard and I’ve decided about it today, today I will resign as a Member of Parliament for Clacton-on-Sea, thereby forcing a by-election which would happen I hope in short order."
