He’ll make a fresh run for parliament in the seat of Clacton, and is looking to make life difficult for the ailing Conservatives in a general election on July 4. “They’ve spent most of the last five years fighting each other rather than standing up and fighting for the interests of this country,” Farage said of the Tories as he announced his run.
