Any other standing on an anti-corruption ticket would be of interest.

Now that he's mega rich, will Nige pick up the tab for this farcical attempt to garner some support for breaking Parliament's financial disclosure rules?

Restore Britain will stand in the Clacton by-election.

The second one, held later this year, when the investigations into Farage’s finances conclude as we all suspect they will.

We are not going to participate in a Reform-sponsored media circus over the summer months that is designed to puff up Farage’s ego and deflect away from wholly fair questions over why he has concealed such vast and irregular financial donations.

Farage can play with his toys for the next six weeks, but Restore Britain is going to continue producing detailed policy papers, exactly as we have been, outlining how we can fix our country.

That is what I am interested in.

Detail. Data. Policy.

A plan.

I feel for the people of Clacton who deserve so much better than this unnecessary sham forced on them throughout their summer.

Binface for Clacton!

tories and lib dems not standing either.

looks like a by election with no real candidates as labour,tories not interested,a farce if lib dems follow suit.

Count Binface added and matched at 10

Regardless of what you think of Farage and his motives the two main parties not standing in a UK election is embarrassing. Everyone is playing games and its pathetic.

What they are basically saying lapsy is that they know they can't win.

If they thought they could then of course they'd "play the game" as you call it.

Fair enough,it will be a hollow win and doesn't marry in really with the 'taking the establishment on 'reason though. A walkover in horsey parlance.

Binface could give him a run for his money (imo)

It actually would be quite fitting if Binface did get elected.

He wouldn't look out of place with the absolute shower we have in the HoC at the moment.

Put himself into a "no win" situation imo.

Takes on Binface and wins or takes on Binface and loses - looks a complete tw@t either way

no,if he wins he beat a bin, if he loses he lost to a bin, its a bin bin situation

As has been said above they know they cant beat him thats why they arent standing. Labour of course have plenty of form not having elections they cant win but this time at least it goes ahead without them.

I think people would be more sympathetic about the concern, if those with said concern were equally disturbed by the flow of money into establishment politicians.

He received the gift when he wasn't a MP.

Labour received money and handed out £multimillion contracts to their donors in government.

Not a great look for the other parties.

It's all fair and well saying farage is corrupt and we aren't going to play his game but to tell a whole constituency of voters that your choice is between a corrupt rogue or a bloke who wears a bin on his head is not exactly a show of respect to the electorate.
