Nigel Farage won't stand in UK election so he can help (guess whose) US campaign [View all]

Nigel Farage has said he will not be making a return to British politics after a general election was called.

Nigel Farage will focus on the US election instead of the UK.

The Reform UK honorary president and former UKIP leader said he had thought "long and hard" as to whether he should stand to become an MP in the 4 July general election announced on Wednesday, but said "it is not the right time".

Mr Farage said although the general election is important, the United States election in November "has huge global significance" so he has chosen to "help with the grassroots campaign" there as a "strong America...is vital for our peace and security".
