Yesterday, right-wing politician Nigel Farage resigned from the UK Parliament.

The resignation comes as an investigation into his finances is currently underway. But who exactly is Farage, and why have we been hearing so much about him lately?

On today's podcast, we're going to get to the bottom of that question, and work out why he's just walked away from the seat it took him seven attempts to win.

Hosts: Elliot Lawry and Billi FitzSimons
