The leader of Reform UK, the British far-right politician Nigel Farage, announced this Tuesday that he is leaving his post as a Member of Parliament in the House of Commons for the constituency of Clacton. His resignation forces the calling of by-elections to fill that seat, elections in which he has already announced that he will run again.
His step back comes after the controversy generated by not having properly declared a gift valued at five million pounds, from the businessman and cryptocurrency magnate Christopher Harborne, according to the BBC channel.
