Nigel Farage Returns to Commons After by-Election Victory
Farage won Clacton by 12,784 votes and was sworn in as a parliamentary probe into a £5 million gift and disclosure rules resumes.
- On Tuesday, Reform leader Nigel Farage took his oath in the House of Commons, returning to his seat accompanied by deputy Richard Tice and Romford MP Andrew Rosindell.
- Farage won last month's by-election in Clacton with a majority of 12,784 ahead of Count Binface, up from his 8,405-vote margin two years ago.
- Parliamentary Commissioner for Standards Daniel Greenberg resumed investigating a £5 million gift Farage received from crypto-billionaire Christopher Harborne, with potential referral to the Commons Standards Committee.
- Conservative MP for Hinckley and Bosworth Luke Evans heckled "Until the next by-election" after the oath; a suspension of at least 10 sitting days could trigger a recall petition.
- Farage plans another national tour while Richard Tice and other Reform colleagues handle most House duties, citing the party's limited size restricting their influence in major debates.
