You’ve got to be in it to Bin it

It’s looking increasingly likely that the Clacton bi-election will be Farage vs Count Binface.

Count Binface has some very interesting policies, and has probably visited Clacton more than Farage. Also, as he (Count Binface) stated on BBC Breakfast today, if he wins this bi-election, the second one after the parliamentary investigation won’t need to happen which will save the taxpayer over £300k.

If you lived in Clacton, how would you vote?

YABU - Nigel Farage
YANBU - Count Binface

If you had to choose one.

Personally I would vote for Count Binface.
I’d love to have Ceefax back.

I really enjoyed the Count Binface interview this morning! I liked his comment about the roller coaster of waiting for the pips.

I do not live in Clacton but if I did would probably spoil my ballot to record my disgust at the whole thing.

DjokovicsTowel · 08/07/2026 11:49

I would 100% vote for Count Binface

Frankly I think I'd vote for a sock over Farage though

But the good Count has said he'll actually try and serve the people of Clacton if elected and I believe he'd do a better job than Never There Nige

That's by-election but thanks for the lol.

That's by-election but thanks for the lol.

This election identifies as ‘bi’

I really, really hope the Count wins.

🧛‍♂️🗑️ for me.

BlusteryLake · 08/07/2026 12:15

I love the optics of this. Nobody will entertain Farage's ridiculous slimy attention seeking except for a joke candidate . I would love it if Bin face won. It wouldn't be worse for Clacton than Farage is currently.

OhFucko · 08/07/2026 14:56

Yes exactly, I genuinely don’t see how he could be worse.

Bin face was interviewed on BBC Breakfast and Channel 5 17:00 news! I love this so much.

Dilemma999 · 08/07/2026 18:17

Lol, love it that he’s getting publicity and humiliating Farage.

Two2TooAlsoToToward · 08/07/2026 18:21

Both asked Binface if he’d ever been to Clacton—“No. As I understand it, you can be the Clacton MP and never go there.”

SerendipityJane · 08/07/2026 18:32

Chapeau to the OP for the thread title. If MN had a chefs kiss emoji (or I could find it) then it would go here : ><

In the meantime:

The Count versus the Cunt.
Vote Count !
Trust the Count to take the trash out.

LaurieFairyCake · 08/07/2026 18:33

Rachel Reeves wins it for me today

“if Nigel Farage wants to spend the summer arguing with a bin I’m not going to stop him”

😂😂😂 best comment ever

Go Count Binny McBinface!!!

I hope Binny is in for the winny!

Winter2020 · 08/07/2026 21:20

If the bin wins will it get a 90k salary, expenses and attend parliament now and then. That will be interesting.

Urgentbiscuitrequired · 08/07/2026 21:26

I'd vote for my own bin over Nigel Farage, although they both have some similarities: neither have personality, policies, and compassion and they are both full of shit. The bin clinches it for me because it looks better in a suit.

Particularly if he manages to live on that AND attends parliament ever - never mind ‘now and then.’

He’ll be doing far better than the current holder of these privileges.

I’ve never thought much of him but after that interview, I’d vote for him. It was brilliant.

Fangisnotacoward · 08/07/2026 21:45

Id vote for a turd on a stick before I would vote for Farage.

We voted for Boaty McBoat Face - now to vote for Count Bin Face.

BIossomtoes · 08/07/2026 21:46

I think Binface’s time has come.
