Newscast · Nigel Farage Resigns As MP · 7 Jul 2026 podcast

likes to campaign or at least he comes across like he likes to campaign and is broadly thought of to be pretty good on the campaign trail when it comes to things like his interactions with the public I think what changes this is a couple of things potentially first off whether the other parties contest and it looks like most of the major parties are not going to because they've already said that so which and what other parties choose to contest this by-election which voice-verified

will undoubtedly change the nature of that fight. voice-verified

And then also what the public, because I think, you know, underestimate the public at your expense. voice-verified

And I think what the public make of the context of this by-election, whether they go along with what Nigel Farage is suggesting, which is that, you know, it's the right thing that the people of Clacton decide, or whether or not they think that actually Nigel Farage, as other political opponents of his have said, are doing this effectively for his own interests. voice-verified

Yeah, I was actually also watching it on my phone, but stood outside the Reform UK building in which Nigel Farage was giving it. voice-verified

I was stood there to try and nab a word with him after, which I spectacularly failed to do. voice-verified

But I was also watching on my phone. voice-verified

And I think it is important not to overly analyse Nigel Farage, how he's coming across or anything. voice-verified

But part of the reason there was such rife speculation about what this announcement may have been today from Nigel Farage after his little social media tease about the fact that one was coming... voice-verified

was the fact that he'd given this series of interviews, including with Sally Nugent on BBC Breakfast, where his answers had been quite short. voice-verified

He'd come across as quite kind of angry, really, about the questions that he was being asked around his personal finances. voice-verified

And as Chris said, there was this extra element about what he saw as the media haranguing, in his words, members of his family around all of this. voice-verified

So he's had these kind of testy media encounters where voice-verified

And obviously, some in the party openly, including the former chairman, David Bull, after some of those media encounters and interviews, suggested that Nigel Farage might need to take a break, in his words. voice-verified

And then he made the argument that's because he was being plagued with questions about his personal finances. voice-verified

And that was distracting from Reform UK's policies. voice-verified

So, yeah, and other senior figures in reform said, no, no, no, don't be silly. voice-verified

That's not the case at all. voice-verified

But, you know, the point is, it's been a kind of... voice-verified

subject of discussion. voice-verified
