Farage walks back into Clacton — but the gamble is bigger than one by-election

Nigel Farage says he will resign from the Commons and fight his old seat again to clear his name — a familiar Farage set-piece that puts Reform UK, the Conservatives and the betting markets all on notice.

Desk note: Monexus has framed Farage's exit primarily as an organisational test for Reform UK and a free option for Labour, rather than as a personal melodrama. The Polymarket figure is reported at its stated value without rounding, and the absence of detail on what "clearing his name" refers to is flagged explicitly rather than papered over.
