  1. “Now running in Clacton: A few inconvenient facts...”

    by Sam Bright on Substack

    @0x575446

    “Nigel Farage has asked the constituents of Clacton to exonerate him for accepting a sh*t load of undeclared cash from crypto billionaires.

    So, if Farage wants the people of Clacton to be the arbiters of his political fate, they should at least know the truth.

    That’s why, over the past few days, I’ve launched a series of new online adverts in Farage’s constituency, exposing:

    - The vast sums he has received in outside earnings and gifts while allegedly representing the constituency;
    - His extensive ties to foreign regimes and overseas interests;
    - The way in which he has run Reform like a mob boss;
    - His similarities to disgraced former prime minister Boris Johnson”

  11. “Inside Reform and George Cottrell’s world in Montenegro”

    by Sian Norris in OpenDemocracy.net

    @uk_politics

    “Why are Reform’s most controversial funders and backers all registered in the same grubby office in a town of 11,000 people in Montenegro? An office, that by happy coincidence, is registered to the one-time defence lawyer of ‘Posh George Cottrell’, convicted fraudster, Nigel Farage’s close confidant, and son of one of Reform’s biggest donors (whose donation is now being investigated by the Metropolitan police)”

  13. “In this self-styled battle between the ‘establishment and the people’ views range from adulatory to sceptical to outright cynical over a contest that all mainstream parties are boycotting, leaving Count Binface and Laurence Fox as Farage’s only potential rivals.”

    If putting out bins on bin day is campaign messaging, then in order to be balanced, people in Clacton will then also need to put out c*nts on c*nt day.

  20. CW: ukpol, question

    reading up a bit on the constituency of #clacton, where the binface-farage showdown is expected to happen soon. i know little about the intricacies of british elections, so one thing stands out to me: none of the mp's of clacton since its creation in 2010 have been *from the constituency itself*. carswell was born in uganda and went to school in kenya and surrey, watling was born and raised in greater london, farage must have emerged from the depths of hell itself. none of them have any deeper connection to clacton.

    obviously clacton is the seat you go for when you're a hard-right asshole, so i can't quite tell if this is common for british politics or not. given the nature of british electoral politics i could certainly imagine how this would be the case, but i just don't follow it closely enough to know. could someone with more insight enlighten me?

  22. “Farage ‘routinely’ introduced criminal donor Cottrell as ‘chief of staff’”

    by Skwawkbox with The Canary

    @thecanaryuk
    @uk_politics

    “Cottrell is one of two donors at the centre of the scandal of Farage’s massive undeclared donations, which he was legally obliged to report on becoming an MP. Farage is now trying to staunch the bleeding by resigning his Clacton parliamentary seat and standing for re-election. However, his claim that the donations have been a purely personal matter among friends is shattered by the latest exposure.”

He didn’t quite pull it off at Makersfield, but the Clacton by-election’s a cert. Anyone who believes people who use speaker phones on public transport should be conscripted deserves a place in Parliament…

  32. 🧵2/2: on a more serious note, that means that #countbinface would trigger yet another #byelection if he wins, as clearly Harvey will not want to trade a #creative #comedy career for the constraints of an #MP's life. And that will weigh on his mind a bit, as he won't want to be in a position to abandon before the vote either, as this would be a double win for #NigelFarage. For info, no, MPs are not allowed to have stand-ins, not even to get a #maternity leave. research.mysociety.org/html/st
