Get the binmen involved too.
He’ll have backtracked long before then and will be blaming the main parties for obstructing democracy and ignoring the will of the people of Clacton - even though democracy was served at the last General Election, and he was elected in accordance with the will of the people of Clacton.

I'm up for Binface turning up at the HofC's everyday....might just chill all the other fudgers out a bit.
Reading now that he can’t backtrack as his resignation has been accepted (or rather he has been appointed to a “role” that means can no longer be an MP). So by election it is.

Exactly. I absolutely love this. One of the best things to happen to British politics in a long time. The guy who is always used to avoiding scrutiny and setting the news cycle to his own ends thinks he’s made a wildly clever gambit to avoid said scrutiny, and now has no choice but to spend the summer arguing with a bin. He’s going to look like a time waster, and a completely ridiculous embarrassment. All the more so because of his attempts to paint this as an apocalyptic ‘people vs the establishment’ election. At a minimum, he’s probably going to give up a thousand or more votes to Binface. They’ll be able to ridicule him for ever more on that. He’s a guy who relies on seeming inevitable, like the all powerful force. And this will show him up.
Also thought this was hilarious from the BBC. Shows up the limits of trying to do opinion pieces with the constraints of ‘balance’ and ending up in a completely absurd position. Just don’t write the article if you have to claim this might be a masterful gambit from Farage!

You can never underestimate the stupidity of the British electorate.

Well, it looks like it's happening as no way back for Nige. 6th August.
I honestly reckon he could lose.
Remember, so many people are fed up/disillusioned with politics/politicians....so why miss a moment where you have the chance to dish out out a lesson of all lessons. fudge it being serious, let's make this hilarious.
He's set himself up.

I don't think so
He's set himself up as one of the people (massively far far away from the truth) who'd be happy to have a jar or two in the local with you - there's enough who fall for this claptrap to vote him back in (not to mention all the migration brick) and then it'll be a ticker-tape parade.
Still, the investigation should resume once he is back

I think Farage will win, but he’s going to come out of the whole thing a much more diminished figure. And I think he’ll give up potentially a few thousand votes to a bin. It’s fantastic.
Reform trying to act like they priced in other parties not standing. Chris Mason offering the balance that this might all be some genius strategic move.
He is going to waste everyone’s time, and he’s going to argue with a bin. All the while the story about his donations and other dealings will be front page news for weeks. I think he’s completely messed up. He’ll be back as an MP, as a laughing stock,

I think the world is a lot more fluid and unpredictable these days.
Even your analysis is old school (people don't go to pubs anymore
)Well, here's the starting point. Basically 1 in 4 people in Clacton voted for Nige.
Just get a bit of GAMESTOP type action going.

I have my doubts, I mean the major parties have said they will boycott this so do we really think that the 24k who voted for them will a) bother to turn up or b) vote for Green / MRLP / Ind etc.
Still think he will win it, but hopefully the votes are far lower than 2024.
I feel sorry for you, no one goes to pubs anymore - here it is very much still something to do (we have to keep up appearances for the per-capita beer consumption

I agree fewer people go pubs but in my local area there have been 5/6 micropubs open in last few years and they are very popular, nice places to go and have a drink and chat without large screen TV with 24 hour sport.

Without going back through all the pages on Farage has he ever been asked if any HMRC tax will be paid on this £5 million gift , no doubt it will go through some company accounts and not on his personal tax return but is it taxable.

Indeed, and I'd personally say he was the catalyst for all the global flimflam we're seeing.

They are now so worried about a Bin that they are having meltdowns about who is behind the Bin, is he funded by some major corporation etc hahahah. This is brilliant

...I'm talking about the younger generation.Hence the amount of pubs that close down every single month.

At £6+ a pint, a lot of young people unfortunately can’t afford it.
When I started going to the pub £6 was 5 pints and a bag of chips on the way home.
