Summary
The article covers Nigel Farage's announcement to step down as an MP, followed immediately by his intention to contest the subsequent by-election in Clacton. The Green Party, through leader Zack Polanski, calls this a stunt, arguing Farage is preemptively stepping away before his "grift" catches up with him. The piece positions Polanski as needing to use the by-election to ask Farage the hard questions that media and other parties avoid.
