😹😹😹 @CountBinface on BBC Breakfast:
“Maybe they’ve noticed Nigel is having a rather peculiar hissy fit and they’re keeping their powder dry for a second by-election when the parliamentary committee reports.”
🔥 Then the best bit:
“Vote Binface and you save the British taxpayer £380,000.” 😂

"I said Nigel Farage is very principled calling a by-election. What did I say Roy?"
"You said he's an attention seeking gobshite who's playing the victim in a desperate attempt to avoid scrutiny"
It seems that Nigel Farage will face opposition from only one fellow candidate at the Clacton by-election he triggered - Count Binface, a self-described "independent space warrior" who wears a dustbin on his head 🗑️
Let me tell you what’s actually happening in Clacton right now.
Farage only visits businesses he knows are owned by his supporters. Same with the pubs. He’s done a few walkabouts but look at his Twitter and you’ll see he reuses old photos from before the election. The man is barely there. Most people in Clacton don’t want him there.
And now the new plan has emerged, because no serious party is fielding a candidate against him.
Vote for the bin.
Literally. An actual bin is standing. And this does two things: if Farage wins against a bin, the Standards Committee investigation continues and he gets suspended anyway. If he loses to a bin, which more and more local pages are suggesting is genuinely possible given the volume of “vote bin face” posts versus anything supporting Farage, he loses to an actual bin.
Either way he doesn’t escape the investigation. He only did this thinking resignation would pause it. It will resume the moment the by-election concludes.
The town is already a media circus and it’s only been a few hours.
My personal prediction: give him ten days. Then watch for either an announcement about ill health or a job offer in America. He will not want to lose to a bin on live television. He thought this was a clever move. It wasn’t. He’s trapped.
At least I know which two pubs to avoid if I’m ever there.

Doctor Who, Jacob Rees-Mogg and his assistant Steve travel to Clacton in 2046, where the phallic-neck Daleks have seized power.
Their only hope? Return to 2026 and find Count Binface to take on Nigel Farage.
