"Farage called this election because he wanted control over the story. He wanted control over the narrative. Instead, he’s created four weeks in which every camera in the country will be pointed at the money, at the donors, at the excuses, and most importantly, the man in the bin standing beside him"

Faragian Farce Day 5: Winning Isn’t Enough Anymore

Why Nigel Farage may still win Clacton, but lose the only contest that really matters.

^{The Bear (Bearly Politics)}

It may need some explanation.
Farage is facing corruption charges and has chosen to resign and re-stand in his safe #ReformUK electorate to try and avoid the consequences of his actions.

Realising the entire spectacle is a clown show and a total waste of taxpayer money the other major UK political parties have refused to stand in this self serving pantomime by the sea.

Just when this entire #Farage facade looks like a foregone conclusion up steps a hero.
A hero #Clacton never knew it needed.

Look at the entire world taking notice, only #CountBinface has the super powers to make Clacton-On-The-Sea a global tourist attraction and deliver an economic goldmine for the people.

The Clacton and Frinton Gazette, whilst I was typing that post, clocked what @dan pointed out last night about William Hill's odds. It hasn't clocked though that those odds have *already* shifted, since yesterday evening.

And there's an undertone the journalists have not caught of what the people with *large* amounts of money might soon be thinking of doing if the odds shift even more.

Count Binface currently 5/1 to beat Nigel Farage in Clacton

The Clacton by-election has effectively become a two-horse race after the major parties stood aside leaving Nigel Farage against Count Binface.

Interestingly, if the denizens of #ClactonOnSea are staunchly in favour of #ReformUKLtd and #NigelFarage, this is not reflected by the Clacton and Frinton Gazette (part of Newsquest).

Let's start with this profile of #CountBinface, which makes some insightful observations (that Jon Craig of Sky News could have done with knowing in Makerfield):

Yes, it's Silly Season. But the MEN likewise gave Binface a profile, previously.

How Count Binface plans to Makerfield Great Again

The intergalactic space warrior and leader of the Recyclons has contested more elections than most people have had bin lid breakfasts. He took time out from conquering galactic empires to speak to Beth Abbit about his intentions in Makerfield.

^{Beth Abbit (Manchester Evening News)}

It looks like U.K. Reform leader Nigel Farage will face some serious political competition in the Clacton by-election prompted by his own resignation from parliament. While Labour, the Liberal Democrats, the Conservatives, the Green Party and Restore will not be participating, Count Binface has announced his candidacy. Cosmopolitan explains who he is, and his manifesto (past pledges have included linking ministers' pay to nurses' salaries).
