Farage resigns as Clacton MP and will contest the by-election

[Twiglets1]

Nigel Farage is resigning as MP for Clacton, triggering a by-election in the constituency - which he will stand in.

He says he wants the people of Clacton to decide whether he is worthy of representing them - not the mainstream media who he feels constantly attack him personally as well as the party he represents.

Quote " Good point. But some lions do not slink away but go on the attack when a cub is threatened."

Don't male lions do that thing where they kill all the cubs when they take over a pride ?

So when a lioness goes on the attack to protect her cubs, it is the new male lion they are protecting them from. But the new male usually wins. And any cubs that are not his he kills.

Am I the only one who loves Count Binface's policies?❤️

I've loved croissants since the 80s. From a yearly treat in my teens, to a handheld breakfast staple,on my way to.work in the 90s.

I was in an airport cafe recently and went to buy a ham and cheese croissant and it was £6.95. I mean WTF?🤯 That's just not right! Not in this day and age.

I am a UK citizen. My parents, grandparents and great grandparents were UK citizens. I support a cap on the price of croissants. They've brought nothing but pleasure to our lives.

Sweet, savoury or just added butter.
👏👏🙏

Ludicrous Yes they'll vote for him, its a reform safe seat. Does not make him unasailable at all
Makes him look like a conceited idiot

Go Count Binface 😂

It’s a rerun of what happened in the US.

Tell people what they want to hear, make the business of running a country sound uncomplicated so that any idiot can do/understand it. Rage against the toxic ‘establishment’ whilst actually being the toxicity.

All the time building personal wealth.

This has been billed as Count Binface vs the Count of Dodgy Crypto.

Don’t mention the C word

His policies are brilliant and do resonate. Like the £1 croissants and the 99 flakes being reduced to their rightful price of 99p.

Amazing economic policies right there.

I've got BBC breakfast news on in the background - they just said interview with Count Binface coming up!!

It’s funny but I do think the people of Clacton have the right to be pretty pissed off. No one likes to think where they live is being used so explicitly for something that isn’t going to improve their lives in all likelihood.

It will improve their lives if 99 flakes being sold on the seafront get reduced to 99p.

More than 50% of those who voted last time didn't vote for Farage. The question is whether, in a two horse race, more people are willing to vote for him than not, especially as they've now experienced his hands-off approach to being an MP for the last 2 years.

What are the odds on Binface winning? I might splurge a fiver! 🤣

There has been some polling about Farage and his financial affairs. Does not look good. A lot of people think he has been dishonest. Also looks like a lot of people don’t agree with his decision to run the by election either. Seems to be making himself unpopular!

He is on R4 right now!

Is there muffling or an echo from the bin? I imagine it does make an interview a bit more challenging

What we need is a popular independent to run on an anti-Farage ticket and to win. Unfortunately, if they don’t win it just gives Farage the scope to argue it was a genuine contest against the “establishment” that he won. So personally I think no contest or a contest against Count Binface pretty much exposes this as the farce it is.

He came across very clearly. He called Farage's behaviour a cunning stunt. 😁

I be fair, there’d be no better way of sticking to the establishment than voting for a bloke wearing a giant bin.

Watching the interview now - never thought the words "reverse 69" would be said on BBC Breakfast.

Love this guy 😍

Does anyone else remember a women’s comedy act called the Cunning Stunts? I saw them a few times, they were brilliant.

Yes I saw them too 😀

If Farage is going to use the electoral stystem and democracy itself to, in his words, "stick two fingers up" perhaps the electorate in Clacton will do the same and Binface will win? There were more votes against Farage than for him last time.

Farage claims his daugter was hounded. This is what actually happened.

Who knew he was so thin-skinned ❄️?

Mind you he also claims that men can't wear watches on the streets of London.

If Binface helps the good folk of Clacton bin this corrupt fantasist that'd make my year.
