Voting is taking place in the Clacton by-election. The vote was triggered by the resignation of MP Nigel Farage. There are 34 candidates on the ballot paper, so the local council needs larger tables than usual for the count. The contest is estimated to have cost taxpayers around £250,000. The main Westminster parties are boycotting the election which they have dismissed as a stunt.

Keep this racist Trump-wannabe away from my club.

@JoanneYougson Would be amazing to see some sort of fund set up in honour of "Couldn't Get a Ticket For The Game" where fans could donate and have it go towards buying tickets/transportation/accomodation costs for fans/families who might otherwise not be able to afford to get to the match.
Lab, Con & LibDems today all agreed the decision by Weds Mids police to ban the Jewish fans is wrong, disgraceful etc, but nothing they can do because ‘operational independence’. Only Reform UK will change the law to put the police under the control of elected politicians.
Genuinely one of the worst things I've ever seen. If this happens I'll be ashemed to say I'm from the North East.
Reform would be the worst thing for the North East since Thatcher.
