Nigel Farage, the leader of Reform UK, has secured victory in the Clacton by-election. Farage initiated the by-election by resigning from his seat, stating his intention for voters to 'stick two fingers up at the entire establishment'.
At the time of his resignation, Farage's political finances were under investigation. This process has now resumed, which could lead to another by-election if he is found to have broken rules.
