12:33Now PlayingNigel Farage sensationally quit as MP for Clacton today and vowed to fight a "people versus establishment" by-election amid a row over his finances.
Speaking at Reform UK headquarters, he said a standards investigations by the parliamentary authorities are “now being used as a political tool” as he insisted he has "done nothing wrong" and has not "broken the law in any way at all."
He accused the media of harassment and vowed to fight a “people versus the establishment” by-election as he announced he is standing down as an MP.
In a televised statement, he said: “I thought about it hard and I have decided today I will resign as a Member of Parliament for Clacton-on-Sea, thereby forcing a by-election, which should happen, I hope, in short order."
But in a bid to clear his name amid the funding row, he announced he would contest for the Clacton seat again.
