Right-wing UK politician Nigel Farage is set to spend more than half a million dollars after triggering a by-election in the electorate where he's already an MP.

It comes after criticism over his financial support, after local media reported he had not declared benefits.

The Reform UK leader has also faced questions over a five-million pound gift, which he didn't register.

UK correspondent Gavin Grey says Farage will stand for the Clacton seat again - but experts have raised questions over the implications of this move.
