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

>>1523204
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 2026

>>1523239
Bitch couldn’t even outlast a head of lettuce

>>1523182
Please God let him win it'd be so fucking funny

>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

>>1523260
That bin isn't something that goes on his head like a hat, but rests on his shoulders. And he can wear a suit & tie.

>>1523260
I'm decently sure that if Binface actually managed to win a seat, he'd end the joke and ditch the guise because there's no topping it.

Without his costume

Prime Minister Binface?

>>1523179
He's being investigated for accepted dodgy gifts. MP's arnt supposed to take bribes, sorry, donations, from foreign doners. He took a big one beofre he became an MP and is being investigated for it. By quitting, he is trying to stop the investigation.

>>1523273
>By quitting, he is trying to stop the investigation.
And by being re-elected the investigations will continue, thus Nigel's fucked. Or if Count Binface is elected, Nigel's whole political career is over.
So whoever wins, raging Farage loses. Good

>>1523179
>Reform
More like (Un)Reform(ed).

>>1523250
bitch couldn't even lose her seat as a regular MP with grace. Watching her hide in the bogs and cry, come out to make a concession speech, bluescreen, say nothing, and power walk out ignoring the press was hilarious.

The average person hiding in the toilets to cry instead of facing getting the sack is understandable, but someone who has held THE HIGHEST PUBLIC OFFICE IN THE COUNTRY should be able to conduct herself with a touch more decorum. Hold it in until you get to your car.

>>1523266
IIRC commons rules forbid addressing the house while wearing a hat.
Pretty sure they would and could classify a whole bin as a hat.

>>1523289
nigel farage's general purpose MO is twofold
>if possible return the serve with a lot of elbow
>if not, just duck out for a few years and come back when the wind changes
it will not be over for him, he's been around for a long time. If he leaves, Reform will sink without him, but he'll return in time for next GE with a new personal vehicle party.

>>1523250
>>1523319
Liz Surgical Truss had no visible means of support.
Nigel Farage will just be risible.

>>1523182
And because of that, the Bri'ish media is required by law to give him equal time.

>>1523179
>UKIP
More like UKRAP

>>1523179
The Clacton by-election will be on 13th August
So either you've just delayed the inevitable: those corruption investigations once you're re-elected & back as an MP, or Count Binface is elected MP for Clacton and your political career is over.
So you're fucked, or you're fucked. It's called 'Hobson's Choice', so start FaRAGE-ing, Nigel.

>he'll return in time for next GE with a new personal vehicle party
Or after the humilation of losing to a candidate such as Count Binface, Farage's personal brand will be so laughable, the best he can do is become a perennial candidate, such as those from the Official Monster Raving Loony Party: or Count Binface.
>personal vehicle party
Nigel can hold his farty... I mean 'party' conference in a van made by Ford - along with his female canvasser who throws up in such when it's moving - and still have plenty of room for what's left of his ego and on the first day of the week. Which can be summed up in this latin phrase:
Sic Transit Gloria Mundi.

Ann Widdecombe a 78 year old ex-MP was on Talk TV on Wednesday speaking about her friend Farage and she's been found murdered this morning

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ann_Widdecombe#Tributes
'The prime minister, Keir Starmer, called her a "distinguished politician over many, many years with many achievements" and described her death as a "huge, huge loss", saying his thoughts were with her friends and family. He called on the public to "rise above" political differences and help police to identify and apprehend the murder suspect'
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ann_Widdecombe#Death_and_murder_investigation
'On 9 July 2026, Widdecombe was found dead at about 11:40 am at her home in Dartmoor, Devon, aged 78. Her death was announced the following day, and Devon and Cornwall Police said they had launched a murder investigation after she was discovered with "serious injuries". Police said they were also seeking a "white male"'
>a white male
A white male murdered a Labour MP - Jo Cox - ten years ago.

>>1523392
Police have arrested a suspect found just miles from Ann Widdecombe's home. And is confirmed to be a white male.

>>1523502
That suspect was released and they’ve now arrested another suspect, 28yo male in “South” Yorkshire

I'm waiting for it to be released that the suspect is a Count Binface supporter. They'll try anything
