Nigel Farage has told the BBC he discussed the potential liabilities of returning to politics before the 2024 general election. He confirmed he spoke with Richard Tice, the then-leader of Reform, in spring 2024 to scope out what would happen to Reform's finances if he returned. The talks came after he received a £5m gift from a billionaire donor, which Farage argued was an unconditional gift for his personal security.

Why this matters: The investigation into Farage's declaration of the £5m gift will be resumed if he wins the Clacton by-election on 13 August.

What this means for you: If you are interested in the outcome of the Clacton by-election, you can find a list of candidates standing in the election.
