UK Tories prepare for Clacton byelection as Farage standards inquiry nears end

Conservative sources indicate readiness to contest a potential byelection in Nigel Farage's Clacton seat, amid speculation that the parliamentary standards inquiry into a £5m gift is concluding. The party is divided on winnability given Farage's prior byelection victory. This signals a potential shift in UK political dynamics if the inquiry triggers a byelection.
