Nigel Farage has been re-elected as the MP for Clacton, beating nearest challenger Count Binface. But has the result answered questions about the Reform UK leader's £5m gift? Mr Farage said the result in Clacton "speaks for itself". He has also argued that he did not need to declare the £5m gift because he received it before he was first elected as Clacton’s MP and it was not political. Matt Chorley looks at where the Clacton result leaves the Reform UK leader. #NigelFarage #Clacton #politics #politicalnews #ukpolitics #reform #reformuk #countbinface #bbc #bbcnews #bbcnewsnight #newsnight Newsnight is the BBC's flagship news and current affairs TV programme - with analysis, debate, exclusives, and robust interviews.
