Farage rules out standing in Farage by-election

Nigel Farage has ruled out standing in the Clacton by-election. Labelling the election a "circus" Mr Farage said that this was merely an attempt to change the subject and he, for one, would not stand for it.

"This is simply a rather embarrassing way of trying to divert interest away from parliamentary investigations into my finances. I am completely innocent, when George Cottrell handed me a bag marked 'swag' and asked me to keep it safe for him, I simply did him a favour as a friend. So, I have decided this by-election is not one I want to be associated with. Besides that, Clacton's a dump."
