Nigel Farage, the leader of populist party Reform UK, said on Tuesday he was resigning as an MP to stand for re-election so that the public could decide whether he should be ousted from parliament over a scandal involving the alleged non-disclosure of a £5 million gift.
Farage said he had been thinking about resigning over the weekend due to the intense scrutiny he and his family are facing over allegations that he failed to declare a multi-million-pound gift.
