Reform UK leader and British Member of Parliament (MP) Nigel Farage announced he was resigning from Parliament on Tuesday.
Farage's resignation followed a series of scandals surrounding gifts he received from wealthy donors while out of office.
"I am going to need security for the rest of my life and I cannot even tell you how grateful I am to Christopher Harborne, because now I will never ever need to worry about whether I've got the resource."
Citing years of abuse, Farage said "over the last years it's gotten worse," citing an attack on his home and "literally, daily online calls for me to be murdered."
Farage said he's repeatedly asked the Home Secretary for help but was ignored, leading him to incur substantial bills on security.
He also revealed that, days after Charlie Kirk was murdered, Farage's own security funding was reduced by 70%.
By abdicating his seat, Farage opens up a by-election, a Parliamentary snap-election resulting in a direct referendum for the seat.
By-elections for vacated MP seats typically happen within three to four weeks of Parliament issuing a writ of certification, likely placing the snap-election for some time in early August.
