Talk of a Clacton candidate running almost unopposed v farrage

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

Certainly not labour

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?

reform have said they will cover the costs, i dont know if this is legally possible.

Brokelads going

1.12 Reform
6.0 Tories
21 Restore
26 Labour
101 Bar.

Here was me thinking his red nose was because of the drink and then I discover it's because his nose rubs against his ceiling when in bed.

restore are not standing.

Lowe has just announced 20 minutes ago on facebook restore will be standing a candidate

this is what he posted on twitter, he says not this one but the one after the parliamentary watchdog's investigation.

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.

The beginning of a swift end of Mr Farage's political career in the UK, I'd imagine. Mr Farage could be the only candidate for the by-election in August prior to the conclusion of the investigation by the Parliamentary Standards Commission.

Binface for Clacton!

Surely a Martin Bell like candidate here would work, if nobody stands.

He got 45%or so last time, so a 2 horse race would be tough for him to win. I wouldn't be buying money at 1.12.

Carol Vordeman maybe, post Makerfield, would be a lot of fun.

tories and lib dems not standing either.

Vorderman

That squawking old crone would be anathema to your average Clactonite

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

Lib dems calling for the government to block Farage from resigning until the standards committee finishes investigating him. Market rules a bit ambiguous, if election is postponed bets will stand.

Count Binface added and matched at 10

He'll never have a better chance. Needs to convince the Monster Raving Loony Party to stand down. We wouldn't want to split the vote.

Imagine Farage on the popdium.....and Binface wins. It would top England winning the World Cup.

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.

Maybe they simply aren't playing farages 'game' Dotch? I think that is bang on,why should they?

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.

lol lapsy, we about to have a pm inflicted on a country who wasn't even in parliament a month ago.

politics is a dirty game, and the Liberalists are the dirtiest of the lot. if they thought they could win, they would not be running away.

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.

Do you think it's ok for the media to stalk his family and publish his daughter's home address? As I said, he had to do something to put them back in their box for a while.

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

Assume the other parties will participate when the REAL by election takes place - after the PSC have unravelled all the enigma of his "gifts" and finances.

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.

Have a look at the comments on Kemi's 'response'. On the Tories' own channel, no less.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GG5BOwh---Y

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

he's already in a no win situation with freaks that have deep hatred in their hearts.

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

Do you think people would be a bit more sympathetic to him Cider if he was clear who was giving him multitudes of million and for what?

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.

When the combined "might" of the other parties is all about simply trying to stop Reform then you know that those parties have eff all to offer the electorate.

We have a local election in my area coming up, the first page of each of the Conservative, Labour and Green leaflets rant on about how we must stop Reform rather than telling us what they would actually do if elected.   

Straight in the bin.

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.

Including the firm of Andy Crapp's wife.

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.

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.

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.

yes but the plumber didnt get enough votes

Binface into 13/2

Mad manipulator on tilt?

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"

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?

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.

Binface could not be worse than the Half-man Half-toad. He's bound to do a better job at representing the constituents.

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

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

be gone as Reform leader in Next two months Imo

He literally owns the company, no one can kick him out.

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

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

what did boyles lay 50 p to new customers

Surely there’ll be a social media campaign to get Binface elected?
Garage has opened himself up to potential humiliation.

^I think so,it is perfect to stick two fingers up to the establishment.

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.

Turnout is also worth a market.

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.

He wouldn't be allowed to wear his bin helmet but the rest is ok

He will make a far better MP than Farage who is never in Clacton and rarely at Westminster.
