UK hard-right leader Farage quits as MP to force snap vote amid scrutiny of finances

British anti-immigration politician Nigel Farage, leader of the Reform UK party, resigned as a member of parliament to run in a snap by-election, citing pressure over financial disclosures. Farage faces scrutiny over undisclosed donations, including a £5 million gift from a Thai cryptocurrency billionaire. His resignation suspends parliamentary investigations into potential misconduct. Both Labour and Conservative parties have refused to field candidates in the by-election, with Labour criticizing Farage as part of a 'sleaze scandal.' Farage's move is seen as a strategic attempt to shift focus away from financial allegations while maintaining political relevance ahead of upcoming elections.
