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.
