Pod Save the UK · ‘The Sleaze By-Election’: Farage Resigns…and Runs Again?! Plus, World War Three is here w/ Hannah Lucinda Smith · 9 Jul 2026 podcast

Hi, this is Pod Save the UK.

I'm Coco Khan.

And I'm Zoe Grunewald, keeping Nish's seat warm for the next couple of weeks.

So, it's happened.

Nigel Farage has resigned.

So, he can run again in the same constituency that he was already an MP.

Okay, cool.

Because this is him apparently putting up two fingers to the establishment to allow the people of Clacton, rather than the media, to be the judges of his actions.

But how will other parties respond?

And of course, he's not the only angry man in politics, as Trump and other world leaders have descended on Ankara for the NATO summit.

NATO's in Trump's naughty corner as he expressed that he was very disappointed with them and other countries, while he praised Turkish President Erdogan, his very strong leader and friend.

Well, Hannah Lucinda Smith joins us to dig into it all.

Okay, so in an all-capitals important announcement made by Nigel Farage on X yesterday afternoon, the Reform Party leader announced that he will resign as Clapton's MP, triggering a by-election which, wait for it, he will stand in.

He wants the people of Clapton to decide, the people who won him the seat with a majority of nearly 8,500 in 2024.

And the announcement has come amid a row over Nigel's financial support and undeclared gifts and benefits received by supporters over the last few years.

First, it was the £5 million so-called unconditional gift from the crypto billionaire Christopher Harbourn, revealed back in April.

And more recently, undeclared benefits, including staff and security, supplied by close friend and convicted criminal George Cottrell, a.k.a.

Posh George.

So if that wasn't enough bad news for Nigel, on Wednesday morning, The Guardian then reported that his £5 million gift from Harbourn was actually reported to the National Crime Agency by bankers who were concerned it may have been laundered money.

So listen, Zoe, you've been following this story very closely.
