Nigel Farage has announced his return to politics as the leader of Reform UK and will run as a candidate in Clacton-on-Sea in the upcoming general election on July 4. Farage, who had previously stated he would not stand, reversed his decision and replaced Richard Tice as the party leader. He launched his campaign with a call for a 'political revolt' against the Conservative Party, which he accused of betraying voters. Farage's candidacy has caused significant concern among Conservatives, with polls predicting a substantial impact on their voter base and an 'evisceration' of the Tories. A recent YouGov poll shows Reform UK just two points behind the Conservatives, with Labour leading at 40%, Conservatives at 19%, and Reform UK at 17%. Farage's campaign emphasizes his intention to be a 'bloody nuisance' in Parliament and to represent the 'downtrodden' and 'ignored'. He hailed Clacton-on-Sea as the 'most patriotic' part of Britain. His return is seen as a major challenge to Prime Minister Rishi Sunak and the ruling Conservative Party.
