July 5Jul 5 So are we thinking Farage rides all this out or is he toast now?Something must be off in the billionaire world for them to have turned the screws on Farage.

Lots of promises of local investment/levelling up that apparently could only happen if the current Tory government went from an 80 seat majority to an 81 seat majority.The 'vote green get illegals' policy is an extremely cynical version of that. It also plays into the belief that conservatives have that everyone - even would-be Green voters - is in fact secretly racist, they're just the only ones brave enough to be loud and proud about it.
July 7Jul 7 The toad making a statement at 2 regarding his future in public life.Fingers crossed he's f***ing off back under a rock. But I doubt it
July 7Jul 7 Well that speech was a bag of crap!Poor me, poor me, poor rich man.Hope the by-election has a huge tactical vote! Would be hilarious if he lost
July 7Jul 7 The private schoolboy turned yuppie investment banker turned right wing politician is honestly as out of touch as Boris Johnson ever was. All the talk about giving up a lot of money to enter politics when this speech is coming off the back of a £5 million donation that wouldn't have happened were he not in politics. Doubt it will bother Clacton enough to stop them re-electing him.
July 7Jul 7 Resigning, but also not resigning as he's standing in the by-election. Coward, I fear most of Clacton won't care enough about this issue to really want to displace him, but I hope I'm wrong.This could be quite positive for Labour though especially if Burnham stays popular with the public, as it has undeniably tainted their popularity.
July 7Jul 7 Yeah it’s a stunt to stop the investigation and then he also says “oh look I have the mandate of the people”. Hope a seagull shits on him.

Hope a seagull shits on him.If he gets re-elected though, the investigation will continue. So could end up trigging a 2nd by-election depending on the outcome
July 7Jul 7 I mean, this isn't going to change anything really, is it?I know Boris Johnson (and the weird cult he had) seems to have pretty much disappeared but he's different.
July 7Jul 7 Reading on the BBC news website, apparently Farage has offered to cover the cost of the by-election - how much more of a vanity project can it get.Really does feel like the beginning of the end for him - that speech was just laughable.
July 7Jul 7 Author Hope everyone refuses to stand against him and show it up for the publicity stunt that it is.Despicable tactics and I hope it backfires on him.

July 7Jul 7 Interesting choice by the Tories who could have thrown everything at the byelection in the hope of winning it and destroying Farage. They are right to say that it is a stunt, but only time will tell whether their risk pays off.

Would be the most amusing thing ever if Nige lost to the Count! And honestly, if all the opposition aren’t standing and it goes to a vote for or against Farage then there is a chance Binface could do pretty well
