00:00Nigel Farage has won back his parliamentary seat after triggering a by-election for which
00:05he did not attend the count.
00:07The Reform UK leader secured over 22,000 votes in Clacton, in a contest where Labour, the
00:14Conservatives and the Liberal Democrats did not field candidates.
00:18There were 34 candidates, a record for a UK by-election, with candidate Count Binvace
00:24finishing second.
00:25Farage says he stayed away after being warned about disruption, which police denied.
00:30They said security arrangements were in place.
00:33The result returns Farage his common seat, but does not end questions over his finances.
00:38An investigation into an undeclared £5 million gift is expected to resume.
