They want him out, but not yet. lol

Theres a gamble on Binface. Rumour is Labour and the Tories are going to lend their supporters to him to beat Farage.
|
|
By:
Binface could be exactly the right person for Clacton.
|

When does Vorderman lend him her support?
|

They voted for a clown in Makerfield, anything is possible.

Binface into 13/2
Mad manipulator on tilt? |
|
By:
Binface has a realistic chance if none of the major parties stand, as Reform got less than 50% on the vote in 2024.
Reeves on Farage calling a by-election: "If he wants to spend the summer arguing with a bin, that's fine by me"  |
|
By:
Maybe he is a credible candidate vs Farage?
What has Farage really done for the people there? Roll up at a pub Jaywick, a bit of spiel and that seems it? |
|
By:
Farage is going to look very silly if Binface beats him here and at the moment it looks to close to call. Perhaps the BBC could do a TV debate between them so everyone can have a chance to judge Binface and his views.

Refuk complaining about who funds Binface, lol.
|
|
By:
Binface could not be worse than the Half-man Half-toad. He's bound to do a better job at representing the constituents.
|

By:
Could Mr Farage be embarrassed if the Clacton electorates are savvy and clued up? A tactical voting switch to Count Binface after all there'll be another Clacton by-election post the Parliamentary Standards Commission investigation.
Any each-way betting available here? Even 1/3 could be tasty. |

There won't be another by election if Binface wins |

By:
Could Reform become defunct if Mr Farage is a disqualified MP? He'd be with no credibility if pummelled by the PSC investigation. Then he might be asked to return the £5m given he'd be politically impotent if taken to the shredders by the PSC.

Two Orse race Farrage Like a bet , what could possibly Go wrong?

Farage denies stunt as Reform proposes August by-election date
be gone as Reform leader in Next two months Imo I stated this ages Ago he had no intention of Being PM , He needs to resign as an MP and NOT RUN to regain the seat UK politics has become a complete and utter Joke ,we have had two Years of Starmer and now a Parachute PM ,The leader of what might have Been the Main opposition is basically taking the Pish ,it's total and utter chaos |

It's not like cameroon, may, johnson, truss and starmer.
The reform MP's and or membership can't just decide "On your bike, we've chosen someone else" If you elect a limited company to parliament, the owner of the limited company has all the cards. |

HE DOES NOT WANT TO BE PM EVER , NO ONE IS BOOTING HIM OUT
ITS LONG ODDS ON HE WONT BE THE REFORM LEADER IN 29 AS IS BACK THE BIN FARAGE AT HIS MOST POPULAR GOT UNDER 50 % , ON A 58% TURNOUT ITS A COMPLETE FARCE |

By:
Count Binface, who was initially priced as a 250/1 outsider by bookie BOYLE Sports
U CANNOT MAKE IT UP , the bin is now 9-2 with boyles |
|
By:
what did boyles lay 50 p to new customers

By:
Surely there’ll be a social media campaign to get Binface elected?
Garage has opened himself up to potential humiliation. |
|
By:
^I think so,it is perfect to stick two fingers up to the establishment.
|
|
By:
Tempting though it is, haven't had a bet on this yet. Hoping for percentage share of the votes markets for the two main contenders.
|
|
By:
Turnout is also worth a market.
|
|
By:
Would Binface actually take up his role as an MP though if elected ?
He wouldn't be able to wear his disguise in the HoC and as his whole raison d'etre is to satirise the political establishment why would he bother ? Plain old Jonathan Harvey MP doesn't quite have the same ring to it as his alter ego. |
|
By:
He wouldn't be allowed to wear his bin helmet but the rest is ok
 |
|
By:
He will make a far better MP than Farage who is never in Clacton and rarely at Westminster.
|
|
By:
Could be a stepping stone to Bin party
winning most seats at next general election. Comedians have won elections before and gone on to do a good job. |
|
By:
I reckon he will achieve at least 20% of the vote share and potentially much higher.
|
|
By:
Not sure what the point of it all is if he can't wear his bin. The clue is in his name
Harvey is a middle class Oxbridge educated scriptwriter who lives nowhere near Clacton either. |
|
By:
Bit like Farage then.
|
|
By:
laddies 1.9 for over 24.5%

to do a good job. Well Starmer hasn't done donny You must have missed the word "either" in my previous post yak. Not much point replacing one non local with another. |

Amusing situation right now but binface fatigue is already setting in. Hes just not very funny. If farage cheers up a bit he may even be the least boring out of the two.
|

H'angus the Monkey was thrice Lord Mayor of Hartlepool,it can be done!
|

By:
Binface should have no problem getting 30%. In the 1945 general election Labour and the Liberals did not stand candidates against Churchill, but a random bloke ran as independent and got 11,000 votes

Yeah, that's why Farage likely will still win. This kind of humour gets wearying to most people. It's like when there was that BBC poll to name a ship and 'Boaty McBoatface' won. It's amusing on the day, but then you see that years later there are people online still going on about it and it's a kind of 'movement'. And 'Banksy'... how can anyone not be bored of him by now? The majority get fatigued with that stuff, so you are only left with they types who still watch every episode of HIGNFY and think it's as good as ever. |
