So what's my take on Count Binface standing in Clacton?
Well, seven years ago the world all laughed when Ukraine elected a comedian as president.
We're not laughing now.
A lot of people maybe unaware but @CountBinface raises money for Shelter through his merchandise sales on his intergalatic website.
Nigel Farage helps himself.
For the first time in decades, the left, centrists and the Tories are all united on one thing, bringing about the downfall of that corrupt c*nt, Farage.
It’s enough to bring a tear to your eye.
In doing this, Count Binface has actually already achieved something huge.
BBC: "have you ever been to Clacton?"
@CountBinface: "no, because I understand from the current incumbent that is part of how you do the job."
politics is BACK, baby
They had democracy.
They voted in their MP in 2024
He’s now thrown a hissy fit and plunged them into this ridiculous, unnecessary circus.
This is squarely on Farage - and @CountBinface is doing a beautiful job of highlighting who and what their MP is - an incredibly important part of democracy in action
@LeeAndersonMP_ What’s more out of touch than, as a millionaire, forcing deprived constituents (and the taxpayer during a cost of living crisis) to pay for a by-election held before facts are established in order to evade scrutiny about millions in undeclared donations? You’re a thick scab, Lee.
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.
The beauty of what’s happening in UK politics isn’t just Farage having his thunder stolen from all directions. The Binface saga is proving what Britain is REALLY about and it’s not the shit sold by the far right… True Britishness is, at its heart, about MERCILESS pisstaking.
.@JamesTalarico: Today, our state is being taken over by a new kind of tyrant — billionaire mega donors.
They're not invading with an army. They're just buying the system. The billionaires turn neighbor against neighbor, weakening that spirit of friendship that makes Texas so great.
They divide us by party, by race, by gender, by religion, so we don't notice that they're picking our pockets. It is the oldest strategy in the world, divide and conquer.
But Texas will not be conquered.
It’s the 10th anniversary of Brexit. Let’s have a look at how that’s going:
1974-2016: 7 prime ministers
2016-2026: 7 prime ministers
I said it then. I’ll say it again.
It’s a shitshow.
