I actually quite admire him. World class pettiness that! Took 15 minutes just reeling off a long list of grievances before he actually got to the point |  | |  |

The argument he puts is completely disingenuous. Says it's not a crime to make money. No one says otherwise. The issue is disclosure when appointed to public office which he clearly hasn't done. And which a vote by the good people of clacton has no bearing upon. |  |

In the recent local elections Reform received over 50% of the vote. A couple of locals on Look East last night said “he can do no wrong in my eyes” and “he does a lot for this area”. |  | |  |

"I am the most attacked political figure" in a country where two MPs have been murdered is a bit of a stretch as well. The true face of Farage coming out when he is under pressure. Doesn't feel sensible to go after the media as well - he is going to be put under constant scrutiny and hopefully it is enough to turn some people off the idea of him as PM. |  | |  |

| Farage says he will ‘make statement on my future in public life at 2pm’ on 14:36 - Jul 7 by baxterbasics | Interesting to see how the other parties approach this. When David Davis pulled the same stunt nobody big stood against him, making it look rather silly. Not sure they will want to do the same this time. |
Yeah, that would be the best approach, Restore may give it ago, and Count Binface. |  | |  |

Like him or not, he's got more political ability and instinct in his little finger than the entire Labour party combined. It's a clever move and allows him to reframe back to people v establishment. Continuity Starmer with northern characteristics isn't going to cut it. [Post edited 7 Jul 14:45]

I'm sorry but that's nonsense. It's not a clever move, it's a entitled move which speaks to people who already support him at the expense of the taxpayer. It doesn't resolve anything, even if he wins the investigations continue. You're just looking for a reason to attack Labour, not convinced using Farage to do that is a good way to go about it.

Not that clever. Just need media and politicians to react accordingly. It is a vanity move, to delay the Parliamentary process, and in the United Kingdom, British people follow democratic rules, not mobs. Why should tax payers pay for his inability to cope with a couple of questions. |  | |  |

He's had the single biggest influence on British politics over the last quarter of a century. He's a canny operator. It's clever. Early general election now inevitable I think. |  | |  |

That makes no sense at all, why does it force any GE? What's his history got to do with this decision being "clever"? Really weird takes just because you don't like the current Labour party SB |  |

Why is it clever ? The people of Clacton support him , we know that. How does it change him being investigated for accepting a £5m “gift” abd not declaring it, it’s not going away. Surely he will be in the same boat with possibly less of a majority |  |

Because he can now point at this new election and go "look, people still support me!" and brush off any criticism. |  |

Yep. He's also reframed the whole thing as people Vs establishment which is where Reform prosper. Plus he'll use it as a further attack on the political media which has become frankly indistinguishable from the political establishment. Gives Burnham a headache to deal with immediately too. |  | |  |

As someone says above, Rupert Lowe is going to love the chance to have a crack at Farage - if nothing else, this could be quite a show. |  |
