Jonathan Bachman / Jonathan Bachman/Getty ImagesDonald Trump’s embattled ally in the U.K. announced he’s stepping down as an elected official less than 24 hours after the president posted a message of support. Nigel Farage, the 62-year-old leader of the populist right-wing Reform UK party, says he is, bizarrely, resigning as a British member of parliament to trigger a fresh contest for the seat he already holds—a move that will apparently allow him “to stick two fingers up to the establishment.”Farage has faced mounting outcry over a slew of scandals concerning alleged personal donations from high-net-worth individuals and, in one case, a convicted criminal.

Nigel Farage is ‘up to his neck in sleaze’ after ‘desperate stunt’: Keir Starmer
Outgoing UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer calls Reform UK Leader Nigel Farage’s resignation a “desperate stunt” in order to trigger a by-election. “This is a desperate stunt from Nigel Farage, and it’s obvious why he’s doing it.

Hannah Spencer vs Reform: 'The Maths Is Not Maths-ing'
What could be funnier than the idea that Nigel Farage is an honest man? On Newsnight, Green party MP Hannah Spencer faced off against Reform's candidate for London mayor Laila Cunningham – and laughed at the suggestion that Farage has been "very honest" amid a scandal over an undeclared £5m gift. Spencer said Farage’s decision to trigger and then stand in a new byelection – which he has presented as a referendum on his character amid allegations of wrongdoing – will be bad for his constituents. "What it does is it throws people in that constituency, who are already struggling, like so many people in the country, into further turmoil," Spencer said.
