Emily Maitlis joins Jess Phillips as all the major parties refuse to stand candidates in the potential Clacton by-election. This comes as Reform leader Nigel Farage sensationally quit as MP for Clacton and vowed to fight a "people versus establishment" by-election amid a row over his finances. In a video statement, he said: “I thought about it hard and I have decided today I will resign as a Member of Parliament for Clacton-on-Sea, thereby forcing a by-election, which should happen, I hope, in short order." But in a bid to clear his name amid the funding row, he announced he would contest for the Clacton seat again.
