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.

The media coverage will be hysterical. Consult the clairvoyant at intervals, interview Mr Fishfinger in a chip shop, extreme hard right winger filmed in Jaywick saying “deport them all and Farage is soft”, Count Binface hands out free ice creams on the beach and the country is entertained after the football finishes

The Sun gained an excusive interview with Mr Fishfinger, in which he branded Farage's shock resignation a load of "codswallop".

Mr Fishfinger, 55, predicted the voters of the Essex seaside resort would eat up his own mani-fish-to.

It includes replacing Admiral Nelson’s Trafalgar Square statue with Captain Birdseye and changing the national anthem to Cod Save the King.

He went on: “I may be small fry in the political world, but the ­people of Clacton live by the sea and I’m from the sea, so we’re a match made in heaven.
“Say tartare to Nige. You’ll Findus much better.”

Lots of candidates now:

Lawrence Fox for Reclaim - former actor
Ollie Grainger - television professional
Count Binface - comedian
Luke Worley - Reality TV “star”
Monster Raving Looney party
Rejoin EU party - looking for a candidate if anyone’s interested.
Mr Fishfinger - vows to batter Farage
Piers Corbyn - conspiracy theorist
Amelia Randall - clairvoyant
Kai Stephens - British Democratic Party
Adham Alkhatip - Forward party
Rob Pownall - anti fox hunting campaigner.

Rejoin EU is under the radar isn’t it

As lists go it’s a mash up. Time for little known parties and people to shine.

Is fox hunting much of a thing in that part of Essex? It might not be on many people's radar.

I would definitely tactically vote against Farage / the right if I lived there. So likely would be Binface.

iirc the main wildlife in Clacton is seagulls, crabs etc.

Just seen a clip of Farage campaigning in Walton. Yet the constituency was too dangerous for him to hold surgeries.
