Nigel Farage accused of having 'hissy fit' as he steps down as MP

Nigel Farage said today he is resigning as MP for Clacton. It comes as the Reform UK leader faces intensifying scrutiny over alleged donations of cash and support from wealthy backers. Mr Farage claims he wants to stand in a by-election which will become, in his words, a "people versus the establishment" battle. His opponents say he's just trying to distract attention from his current troubles. • Subscribe to ITV News on YouTube: http://bit.ly/2lOHmNj • Get breaking news and more stories at http://www.itv.com/news Follow ITV News on TikTok https://www.tiktok.com/@itvnews?lang=en Follow ITV News on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/itvnews/ Follow ITV News on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/itvnews/ Follow ITV News on X: https://twitter.com/itvnews
