'Well, it's a heatwave for goodness sake!'
Nigel Farage's by-election opponent, @CountBinface, explains why he's not going to fight a 'serious' door-to-door campaign in Clacton.
Count Binface admits he has not been to Clacton.
“I thought I’d take a leaf out of the current incumbent’s book, and so I specifically have never visited it because I thought that was the done thing.”

Another bomb from @Annaisaac who reports the NCA examined other transactions exceeding £1m involving Richard Tice, George Cottrell and Cottrell’s mother, Fiona.
She also reveals the below was leaked to the Telegraph yesterday as a spoiler designed to thwart public interest journalism.
Significantly her report relates to Tice’s network of companies, which, we’ve previously reported, unlawfully failed to pay six-figure sums of tax — and avoided hundreds of thousands more using highly unusual means.
Enclosed below are our three previous reports on Tice’s tax affairs. They relate to £100k, £92K plus, and £609K of tax that should have been paid or was avoided, and which benefitted a company that donated to Reform.
The latest disclosures add context to why he may have been so determined to forestall our reporting.
This isn’t about party politics.
This about stopping Farage and his silly little Trumpian Games.
Only one person is up to the task, the rest should stand aside.
Asked, if it were to be a straight fight between Farage and Count Binface, who he would vote for, Paul's expression did not waver.
He replied immediately, and with total sincerity: "Count Binface, every time".

We should lay on a few coaches for Count Binface. We may as well seeing as though political campaigners will have very little to do over the summer.
We have an opportunity to achieve the funniest result in British electoral history here. Might as well make a go of it for our lad, Binface!

Reform's @JakeBerry argues major political parties are boycotting the Clacton by-election because they 'know they're going to lose'.
