Nigel Farage is standing. Are the Tories in deep trouble?

With the election now just four weeks away, could this mean disaster for the Tories?

Nigel Farage has promised to lead a 鈥減olitical revolt鈥 as he announced his return to frontline politics as the new leader of Reform UK - and as a candidate in the Essex seat of Clacton. The Conservatives are already well behind in the polls - so with the general election now just four weeks away, could this mean disaster for the Tories?

The other candidates announced as standing in Clacton so far are:

Giles Watling, Conservative Party.
Jovan Owusu-Nepaul, Labour Party.
Matthew Bensilum, Liberal Democrats.
Natasha Osben, Green Party.
A full list will be published after nominations close on Friday.
