Nigel Farage has made a U-turn regarding the UK’s general election. 

The former Ukip and Brexit party leader initially had no plans to stand during the election but has decided to now stand as an MP in Clacton as well as lead the Reform party for the next five years. 

This could’ve dealt a potentially damaging blow to the faltering campaign for the Conservative party. 

UK Correspondent Enda Brady told Mike Hosking that Farage has been lighting fires around the place for a few weeks now and has now been bounced into running. 

He said that while it will certainly cause problems for the Tories, it’s unlikely to change the outcome of this election.
