  1. From the #Clacton Conman to the resident of Number Ten, all our MPs are bought and paid for before we even get to put a cross on a ballot paper.

  2. Watching probably too many man-on-the-street interviews from the #Clacton by-election, I've come to the conclusion that the phrase "He tells it like it is" is just code for "He's a racist who gives me license to be a racist."

  3. Cartoon Morten Morland

  4. CW: UK Politics, Farage, Clacton, BBC, inevitable swearing

    OK, this seems odd (well, no, not odd, maybe WRONG is a better word).

    In this article, which based on the headline I assumed was at least a vox pop* of Clacton residents (which I didn't have great hopes for, tbh), they seem to be prominently quoting people who travelled there specifically to support Farage.

    'Absolutely thrilled' says person "who made the trip to Clacton from Gloucestershire".

    'Farage is the only answer' says person " who travelled to Clacton from Wales to support Farage".

    What absolute fucking bullshit.

    * edited to correct typo, although I was tempted to leave "vox pox" 😆

  5. Oh those poor ignored billionaires, with envelopes full of used notes and 5 million quid to spend, thank god Nigel is here to speak up for them. Oh and all the racists, let’s not forget the racists, he speaks up for.

  6. Nigel #Farage réélu député face au candidat satirique #BinFace (Tête-de-Poubelle)

    #Clacton : à la législative partielle qu’il a lui-même provoquée, le chef de #ReformUK, parti d’extrême droite, recueille 22 239 (63%) suffrages, contre 9 455 (27%) pour son adversaire. 34 candidat·es, pour la plupart indépendant·es et inconnu·es, s’affrontaient. L’élection a été boycottée par les autres grands partis. Participation : 44%

  7. The BBC’s Chris Mason happily parrots Farage’s version of events, even though there is no evidence that Essex place issued a warning, and they have denied doing so. But why let the facts get in the way of a good story? #Clacton #FarageLies www.bbc.com/news/article...

    Where does this unorthodox by-...

  8. If you've ever wondered whether spoilt ballots really express anything... in Clacton one voter was pretty clear, when they spoilt their ballot, why there were doing it

  9. It is said that one definition of stupidity is repeating a failed action several times in the expectation of a different result; but 22,239 times..?

  10. So let me make sure I understand this Clacton. You had the chance to toss out a racist AND make commentary on the state of Parliament and instead, you re-elected the bigot? And I thought it was just us Americans who were fearful, stupid voters.

    What am I missing here?
