Farage got 46% in Clacton in 2024. He is only opposed now by Count Binface, meaning anyone who dislikes Farage or votes for any other party is represented by Binface. Given that Binface is a joke candidate - much as Trump was perceived of before the GOP primaries in 2016 - and that they just voted for him 2 years ago, it's possible that voting burnout and perceptions of him running unopposed may stymie Reform voter participation. Meanwhile, everyone else - the other 54% - are motivated to vote only for Binface. I don't think he will win, but it is within the realm of plausibility, and that really is the funniest possible outcome. Therefore, I support Count Binface fully. This is the grandest demonstration of the nonseriousness of democratic politics in recent memory, particularly considering this is only happening as a bolster to Farage's ego. This backfiring on Farage so badly that he loses his seat to Count Binface is the funniest thing imaginable, and therefore, the best.
I also agree with him that the 99 Flake should never be more than 99p. That's just smart policy.
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
Il faut avoir les nerfs solides pour suivre les matchs des équipes africaines commentés par des journalistes occidentaux. La condescendance, le manque de respect, de professionnalisme, d’éthique, de déontologie envers les africains est insupportable.
Notice british boomers are always going on about the country 'they grew up in' and not 'the country our generation made'.
Because it'd reveal their utter failure as a generation.
Not even a full day after the report that migration has dropped significantly in the last year and reform have already started campaigning on the promise of increasing it again 😭
One thing on the pro-Palestine marches. If you accept they directly intimidate the Jewish community (which they do) then you must also acknowledge the Unite the Kingdom rallies have precisely the same effect on Muslim and other minority communities. We ban both, or neither.
Los alto al fuego siempre son una buena noticia. Sobre todo si conducen a una paz justa y duradera. Pero el alivio momentáneo no puede hacernos olvidar el caos, la destrucción y las vidas perdidas.
El Gobierno de España no aplaudirá a quienes incendian el mundo porque se presenten con un cubo.
Lo que toca ahora: diplomacia, legalidad internacional y PAZ.
1/2 Linked below is my graphic design portfolio. I might not be the best but everything I make is made with my blood, sweat and tears.
I’ve spent days on some of these posters and the fact that some people cut corners by generating soulless AI slop enrages me.
