A record 34 candidates are standing in the #Clacton by-election.
Only six have an address in the constituency of Clacton or the district of Tendring.
And the Monster Raving Loony Party is standing three candidates.
This is not a Longest Ballot protest, but it is a clear statement.

"Who doesn't want diarrhea lettuce and needless war?"
Even in the US a lot of people aren't going to CPAC any more. No wonder nobody showed up to "CPAC Great Britain."

Nigel Farage resigned to force a by-election in a desparate attempt to distract from corruption investigations he should lose (given he's been caught hiding multi-million pound bribes from crypto billionaires and more).
No other party will run in his distraction. Count Binface will.

That is an impressive act of self-immolation and -humiliation out of the Farage camp.
Also, this is a brilliant opportunity for Count Binface to do something incredibly, earth-shatteringly funny.

Two alternatives for the word Conservative in politics:
Corporatist: A formal term used when a government or political party closely aligns itself with major corporate interests and business groups, often involving them directly in policy decisions.
Corp-servative : A portmanteau that highlights a brand of conservatism where corporate profits and business deregulation take absolute priority over social traditionalism.

Andy Burnham returns to Parliament as the new MP for #Makerfield.
And it wasn't even close. In fact, Burnham has shown a swing to Labour from Reform.
And now, let's see if there's any mention of his Number 10 ambitions in his victory speech.

Polls in three parliamentary by-elections are now closed.
Counting is about to get underway, with results expected in the early hours of the morning. And unlike most by-elections, could change the history of the country.

The UK Green Party's position on the social media ban for young people is gross and out of touch with reality. It's the classic case of embracing surveillance and control in exchange for empty promises. I'm embarrassed to be associated with such a boneheaded take on a critical issue.

“Theft is not outside of capitalism; it’s what capitalism was built on – and not even, like, metaphorically,” Riley says. “The bourgeoisie was no different in that they stole land, stole minerals, stole labor. But that theft is thought of as legal.” ‘
