NIGEL Farage has announced that he will make an "emergency General Election announcement" this Monday afternoon.
The honorary president of Reform UK wrote on Twitter/X: "I will be making an Emergency General Election announcement at 4pm today."
It comes after Farage insisted last week that he still has “one more big card to play” and confirmed plans to stand as a future MP candidate, despite feeling “extremely disappointed” by Rishi Sunak’s decision to call a General Election on July 4.
He said he could not campaign both nationally and for one constituency in the six-week timeframe, and suggested the Prime Minister had used “first mover advantage” with the announcement.
Farage said in a statement at the time that he would not stand as a party candidate in the election, but would “do my bit to help” in the UK campaign.
But following today's announcement, speculation is rife that Farage may go back on his words and stand.
