What to know about Nigel Farage's dramatic resignation and political gambit

Facing awkward questions about his finances, the anti-immigration politician dramatically announced that he’s quitting Parliament in order to run again, a move critics denounced as a ploy to dodge a parliamentary probe. Farage said the special election will be “people versus the establishment.” His opponents aren't playing ball. All the major political parties say they will not field candidates against Farage, leaving him to run all but unopposed. The gambit could backfire further if an investigation into his finances continues and creates a scenario requiring a second special election.

MAGA Ally Quits 24 Hours After Trump Backing

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. Trump, 80, had on Monday thrown his weight behind the controversial politician. Read more at The Daily Beast.
