The whole country will be utterly shocked by the awful news about the circumstances of Ann Widdecombe’s death.

Today we come together across the political divide and I pay tribute to Ann’s dedication during her many years of public service.

My thoughts and deepest condolences are with Ann’s family and friends.

My deepest condolences and those of the Conservative Party to the family and friends of Ann Widdecombe. She was a formidable politician who was never afraid to speak her mind and fought hard for what she believed. Always true to herself, her politics were strongly guided by her faith and her values.

Rest in Peace, Ann.

Hands up if you think there should be a BBC Question Time Claction by-election special.

Nigel Farage Vs Count Binface.

[Times Radio @TimesRadio]

Farage is using the people of Clacton as props in his “great egotistical political drama”, but Count Binface is holding him up to ridicule, says Fraser Nelson.

“I think this is quite an appropriate response: mockery.”

No matter where I go, the Establishment is watching.

It makes one tremendously proud to be British

Count Binface was very pleasant #newsnight

CNN has the headline of the day

Farage is now becoming a laughing stock in the US too

Towcester is BACK! 🚨

The iconic racecourse is reportedly set to return next year after a £2m refurbishment.

What's your favourite memory from the track?

[Rachel Reeves @RachelReevesMP]

I will accept Nigel Farage’s request to be appointed Steward and Bailiff of the Manor of Northstead.

It is a farce and a desperate distraction, and the people of Clacton deserve better.

But if he wants to spend the summer arguing with a bin, I won't stop him.

When British right-wing populist leader Nigel Farage announced he was resigning as a lawmaker and triggering a special election in the face of a swirl of allegations over personal financing, he sought the high ground, saying his constituents “should be the judges of my actions.”

Instead, rival parties united in dismissing his actions as a stunt, leaving his only opponent to be a garbage-can wearing comedian whose policies include forcing rule-breaking cyclists to ride unicycles. https://t.co/FdWzVG4GNu

If the Clacton by election comes down to Farage v Count Binface, surely the count has a decent chance of victory. He would attract all the anti Farage votes and Brits love a prank- see the success of Boaty McBoatface

[Peter Oborne @OborneTweets]

Anna Isaac, city editor of the Guardian, broke the 5 million bung and has played a momentous role in bringing the truth about Farage to a wider public. Others less heroic.

Whatever the outcome of the Clacton By Election any man who fights for democracy & an end to corruption in 30°C heat with a bin on his head & still keeps us laughing has won my awe & admiration .

[Edwina Currie @Edwina_Currie]

Count Binface is not a Messiah.
He’s a very clever boy..
And giving us all a great laugh at Farage’s expense…

[Peter Stefanovic @PeterStefanovi2]

Make your vote count Clacton!

The Binface campaign gathers momentum….
