Farage said he had done "nothing wrong", and said the Sunday Times report was "wholly inaccurate", and the investigation into him by the parliamentary standards watchdog is "being used as a political tool".

"I've decided that the people of Clacton should be the judges of my actions," he said, adding: "And that is why I will be putting my name forward to stand in this by-election. I will fight to win. I will fight to continue the political revolution that Reform has started."

Labour, the Conservatives, the Lib Dems and Restore Britain have all said they will not be putting forward candidates for the by-election.

Labour and Restore Britain called it a "circus", the Conservatives called it "a fake by-election" and the Lib Dems called it "Farage's vanity project".

Reform UK's Robert Jenrick told the BBC that if other parties are "too chicken to stand, that says more about them than us".

Count Binface is the only candidate to challenge Farage

>Reform UK's Robert Jenrick told the BBC that if other parties are "too chicken to stand, that says more about them than us"
Robert Jenrick is merely projecting, as the other parties have nothing to fear: but Nigel does.
He's done this to just delay the inevitable: the investigations into corruption by him. The reason why the other parties aren't running candidates in this snap by-election is because it will force Farage to be re-elected as MP for Clacton, then the investigations will simply continue.
So what will he do then: resign then call a snap election? All the other parties won't run
candidates, thus Farage will be forced to be re-elected, and the investigations will continue.
What will he do then, resign and call a snap election, the other parties won't enter candidates then he'll have no choice but be re-elected thus still be subject to investigations. What will he do then...?!

A reminder that Farage is a Trump brown-noser

>Restore Britain have all said they will not be putting forward candidates for the by-election
>two years ago in exit polls immediately after polling stations closed at 10PM, Reform UK were expected to win 13 seats: they only won five. And one of those became the sole Restore UK MP after a split from Reform, thus only four. And all the by-elections since 5th July 2024 Reform lost: including a recent one won by Labour's Andy Burnham, the soon to be Prime Minister
It's over for Reform UK.

There's people in Clacton who voted for Farage that have said they'll be voting for Count Binface this time

I'm not a reform voter, but I will say this

Reform are one of the parties that is on the UK's seat-gaining knife edge. Because we're FPTP within constituencies, the difference between "13 seats" and "5 seats" can be tiny.

The current labour gov won a high number of seats with a low overall share of the vote, because the right wing vote was split between tory and reform, while the lib dems were being damp squibs as usual and the greens hadn't yet gained.

The UK cycle seems to be that non-Big Two parties gradually gain representation in vote share but not seats, then hit a big rocket seat number as they cross the threshold to actually start winning seat numbers.

But also, Reform basically only have one charismatic MP that people care about, and as soon as Our Nige™ inevitably quits it to jump to his NEXT political vehicle, everything reform has gained will disappear to go with him.

I don't think saying "reform are doomed" is smart, the UK system gives basically no representation to you below a certain % of the vote even when you have a reasonable share. Remember david cameron literally put the brexit referendum on the tory manifesto a decade ago when UKIP were polling at 12-15% because he was worried about the vote splitting effect of then-UKIP voters.

England has had 6 PMs in the last 10 years since brexit.

Truss was my favorite. She exposed that Blackrock literally owns the country and the media.

Go back to being subjugated by a higher ruling authority… It’s all the more acceptable and down to Earth…

>Count Binface
And if he's elected to be MP for Clacton, Farage's political career is over, due to this humiliation. And if not, well... it's quite the paradox for Nigel.
All those juicy MP's expenses you won't be able to claim, Nigey. All that powrer you could 'claim' to have, thus 'stick it to the establishment'.
The establishment will stick it to you as you're reduced to being nothing more than an impotent little manchild FaRAGE-ing: and nobody will listen.
Reaching the heights of political power you have so far, you're about to come crashing down like that plane. But PM Andy Basedham will be looking down at you in that sleaze hole you've dug for yourself. Farage: the ultimate failure of what's left of the right in UK.

Apparently there's wording in the Parliamentary rules that says nobody can wear headgear in the chamber and must wear suitable clothing
There's now some MPs banding together to challenge the ruling with the Speaker to allow Binface to appear as he is elected if he wins
