Parties across the political spectrum have rejected a by-election triggered by Nigel Farage, who said he would quit as an MP in protest at the intense scrutiny over unregistered donations of cash and support to him. The Reform UK leader said he would stand down and then fight a “people versus the establishment” by-election, but several parties have since said they will not stand candidates to contest the seat. Following mounting scrutiny over financial support given to him, Farage announced he was stepping down as Clacton MP on Tuesday, saying that he had “not broken the law in any way at all” and that he had “not misused public money”. Former senior advisor to Ed Miliband Sonia Sodha and former Conservative Chancellor Kwasi Kwarteng join Kate and Adil to discuss the day's news.
