| 21. Author: Wotsit Date: Tue 7th Jul 2026. 18:16 Does anybody honestly believe he`d be doing this if he thought he`d be exonerated by the investigation? It`s a desperate and obvious attempt to avoid scrutiny and I hope none of the other parties stand against him. We have to endure the farce of Farage vs Count Binface first, then the real bye-election once he`s punted for breaking the law. “The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.” Reply |

| 24. Author: Wotsit Date: Tue 7th Jul 2026. 19:33 Setting the precedent of allowing political parties, or individuals, to fund elections seems like a really bad idea to me. “The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.” Reply |

| 26. Author: wee eck Date: Wed 8th Jul 2026. 08:17 Apparently the law does not permit anyone other than central government to fund a by-election. I wonder if Farage knew that when he said Reform would pay for it? The cost to the taxpayer is likely to be between £250k and £300k. Reply |
| 27. Author: ipswichpar Date: Wed 8th Jul 2026. 09:21 Count Binface quoted as saying "Leave him to me". If I was in Clacton I definitely know who I would be voting for. Reply |
| 28. Author: wee eck Date: Wed 8th Jul 2026. 15:58 By one of these endearing quirks of the Westminster system Farage`s resignation has to be accepted by the Chancellor of the Exchequer. Rachel Reeves said : `It is a farce and a desperate distraction and the people of Clacton deserve better but, if he wants to spend the summer arguing with a bin, I won’t stop him.` Reply |

| 32. Author: Dave_1885 Date: Wed 8th Jul 2026. 20:07 Honestly hope everyone else pulls out and leaves him, Binface and Raving Monster Loony Party to it! Get the Fox in from Makerfield too! Reply |
| 33. Author: Wotsit Date: Thu 9th Jul 2026. 10:16 Count Binface is 4/1 to win. Dare we dream? “The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.” Reply |
| 34. Author: wee eck Date: Thu 9th Jul 2026. 10:58 Count Binface was actually interviewed sitting on the sofa on Newsnight last night! Reply |
| 35. Author: Buspasspar Date: Thu 9th Jul 2026. 12:05 Aye wee eck .. part of his manifesto is he will nationalise Adele and make a 99 cone with a flake 99p .. That alone should get him at least half the votes :-o)) We are forever shaped by the Children we once were Reply |
| 36. Author: wee eck Date: Thu 9th Jul 2026. 14:12 Nice joke from Green MP Hannah Spencer - `We get to spend the summer watching Clacton, a farce of a byelection where one of the candidates is a joke character filled with rubbish and the other is Count Binface.` Reply |
| 37. Author: OzPar Date: Fri 10th Jul 2026. 04:08 Clacton is now a three-horse race, with Pierre Corbyn, brother of Jeremy, announcing his candidacy. Could he defeat Farage and the tin man? Oh please, please, pretty please… make it happen! 😁 Reply |
| 38. Author: Wotsit Date: Fri 10th Jul 2026. 10:42 OzPar, Fri 10 Jul 04:08 So Binface is still the only sensible candidate? “The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.” Reply |
| 39. Author: OzPar Date: Fri 10th Jul 2026. 13:19 No idea, Wotsit. I live a long way from Clacton, but I would think anyone but Farage would be an improvement. Reply |
| 40. Author: Buster_Brown Date: Fri 10th Jul 2026. 14:27 OzPar, Fri 10 Jul 04:08 Did he not have a massive feud with Corbyn years ago due to his own dodgy past and arrests?? Loving You, Is In My DNA 🇾🇪 Reply |
