“Who funds him?” No one funds him! There’s nothing to fund. He just gets the same bin costume out the loft for one evening every 6-12 months.

The latest one is how he had a baby and how he will neglect his children to campaign as a comedy character. Guys?! He doesn’t campaign? He literally turns up on the night. Just trying thinking about it for more than two seconds. Do you think he goes door knocking with his head in a bin?
BREAKING - Labour will not stand a candidate in Clacton by-election, NEC confirms
Tories, Restore, Lib Dems also won’t stand against Nigel Farage.
Has the stunt backfired?
NEW - Rachel Reeves said she will "accept Nigel Farage’s request to be appointed Steward and Bailiff of the Manor of Northstead."
"It is a farce and a desperate distraction, and the people of Clacton deserve better.
"But if he wants to spend the summer arguing with a bin, I won't stop him."
Incredible amount of Binface truthers on the other place

Yet again, the Telegraph ran a spoiler of this public interest story - based entirely on a briefing from Reform.
The same as they did when Anna Isaac broke the original story.

Pollsters - please poll Clacton to see if Count Binface might be able to do it…
NEW - Andy Burnham has written a long letter to all Labour MPs tonight - promising a major overhaul of whipping and engagement on legislation, as well as a “broad church” cabinet where ministers routinely engage MPs & select committees.

NEW @gabrielpogrund.bsky.social reveals tonight that the Met Police have been investigating donations to Reform UK from fraudster George Cottrell's mother.
The investigation has been ongoing since last year and two people have been interviewed by police.
The whips spent months telling No10 they were going to lose the welfare vote and then half of them got accused of colluding with the rebels rather than conveying what was correct and useful information. And when this became apparent they just got rid of half the whips.
Tuchel is like every German parent on exam results day
Great team, great tournament, performed frankly beyond my expectations, wonderful entertaining football, just tactics and coordination not good enough today
Scoop from @joshhalliday.bsky.social
Reform activists urged to divert from GM mayoral by-election to help Farage in Clacton.
Leaked WhatsApp: “The message could not be more clear. We now need all of our fantastic activists to come and help us in Clacton.”

In many ways, I respect it. She’s living her truth.

I just love that Wonderwall is replacing Sweet Caroline. Not before time.
What does this mean for Ofcom rules?
