Nigel Farage, the head of Reform UK, has emerged victorious in the recent by-election held in Clacton, securing a total of 22,239 votes. His win comes against a backdrop of a boycott by the major political parties, which chose not to participate in the election.
However, Farage's celebration was short-lived as a parliamentary investigation into his failure to declare a £5 million gift has been reactivated just hours after his electoral success.
