I came first in the Clacton by-election! Of the candidates who bothered to turn up for the results. Here is my victory speech!

They couldn't let the Count win the actual election because then the saying "the only man to enter parliament with honest intentions" wouldn't exist anymore. It'd be Guy Fawkes and Count Binface who certainly has been far more honest than any other politician. A finer Recylon has never existed.

Congratulations Count Binface on a stupendous result in the Clacton by-election and for respecting the democratic process throughout your campaign, most notably by attending the count and declaration. If only Nigel Farage had such good manners. But he doesn't.

So, not even half of the eligible voters bothered to vote in Farage’s vanity project by-election. Count Binface secured just over 26% of those who did. Farage and Reform are in decline.

Genuinly, if nothing about the Trump administration has turned them off so far, nothing will. The people of Clacton have just shown the world they are all monsters who love everything Farage and Trump stand for

I've lived in Clacton; trust me, they are like 3 time trumpers. If you were to hit them on the head with a hammer, you'd have to tell them to say ouch and fall down... Some nice neighbours but the rest...Not surprised by this but at least the parliamentary investigations go on.

Less than twice as many people voted for him as voted for the man wearing a bin. In a Reform stronghold. Nigel isn't really in a position to take a victory lap.

Yes, Farage may have won, but I'd hardly call it a triumph. The investigations into his finances, which he called the by-election to try and stop, are still ongoing. His little stunt failed, and with the support Count Binface got, Farage came away looking a prize pillock.

Congratulations to Count Binface. You should have won! If people can't see who Farage really is after all this, it's on them. Just like Trump in America, after a certain point what happens is on the voters. What sort of country do we want to be?

Evil hasn't won. Binface can still win. The investigation into only got 70% of the votes farage will continue, and if found guilty, binface takes office by default cause he got enough votes this time.

Thank you, Count. Good fight. And the graceless wanker who regularly boycotts his own job in parliament, and called a totally ludicrous by-election, couldn’t even be arsed to turn up at his own victory. Let the enquiry into shady money from Thailand (and before that, who knows) recommence.

The victory is yours, your Excellency! You stand on Clacton's “Moral Mountain“, whilst the Far-Rage skulks in the “Trench of Turpitude“. (©) 😉 May his next next excretion be a hedgehog!

Count, you did every one in the country an enormous service by revealing what tactical voting can do against a threat to democracy and an ill- informed electorate. We love you! Now take a week off.

You are a legend and win or lose you give us hope. Who knows if you turn up as your alter ego Jon Harvey in Pt 2 you could win, win.👏👏👏🗑❤️❤️❤️

Congratulations on your excellent results Count Binface! "Count Binface – a self-described intergalactic space warrior – won a creditable 9,455 votes, indicating the presence of a considerable anti-Farage vote, even in one of the most right-leaning areas in Britain." www.cnn.com/2026/08/14/u...

cnn.comNigel Farage wins election in which his main rival was a trash can | CNNNigel Farage has comfortably won a special election that he triggered, meaning he will remain as a member of parliament after a contest that all the other major British parties boycotted, leaving his ...

Farce and the willingness of the British to openly mock and ridicule those in power is one of our finest qualities. @countbinface.bsky.social exemplifies this in droves. His campaign has brilliantly highlighted political corruption on a personal and systemic level. Three cheers for Count Binface!

The ultimate lean startup approach to politics: achieve a 100% win rate by aggressively optimizing the sample size. Efficiency is the only true ideology.

Congratulations, Count. It's worth noting that 72% of Clacton voters thought they may as well be represented by a bin as vote for Farage. This is not over!

Well done, Binface on an epically good campaign. The people of Clacton voted to keep themselves in decline and poverty for the foreseeable future which is unfortunate for them but Farage now has more questions to answer and the enquiry resumes and we will all hold his feet to the fire.

A good campaign and much national fun has been had. Unfortunately, Farage isn't going anywhere, anytime soon but over time let us hope his credibility is steadily diminished by his own actions.

Yes, you ARE the real winner 💓 💓 🏆 🏆 🏆 And THANKYOU TO the 9400 voters who voted for you and can clearly see 🐸 for the coward he is !!!

As Reform said Binface IS the establishment, he went to a private school before working as a merchant banker in the city , then spent 21yrs on the EU gravy train before getting a cushy job as a part time MP. His friends our billionaires & crooks & has a number of side hustles breaking rules freely.

Dear Count, I am worried: are your electronics shielded from the signals of the WiFi router in the background, or are we risking an Independence Day situation? Congratulations on the result, A Human

Overnight Farage told a rally of Reform UK supporters he had been advised there was an "organised campaign to disrupt and degrade the result" and wanted to avoid being "demeaned and humiliated by nobodies". Sums up his complete distain for the people of Clacton. Who's £250,000 he has just wasted.

Perhaps Farage might follow Bobby Sands by not turning up to his next (post-recall) by-election count due to being imprisoned? It just needs the cops and CPS to get their act together and nail the lying racist!

You scared him into showing his true colours. 👏👏👏

The ‘credible threats’ Farage was afraid of was standing next to other candidates that were embarrassing, and those candidates saying embarrassing things. So Democracy and Free Speech then. Farage is scared of Democracy and Free Speech.

I think if the person in this byelection is found guilty, the seat should be given to the next voted person. That way the people aren't forced to fund a second when he's outed as a criminal.

I know when Tony Benn got disqualified in 1961 in the Bristol South-East 1961 By-election (for being a Peer and so not eligible) the Seat was awarded to the other candidate who was a conservative. Not aware of a more recent precedent or however of a law change that would stop this.

Well said. In sports events if somebody’s found to have been doping, the medal goes to the next in line. And although Farage would easily pass any dope test, would he pass the Parliamentary tests? Not saying he wouldn’t, just asking a question. Wouldn’t want to get sued.

Thankyou Count Binface - for your campaign, your wonderful posters and artwork, for showing Bungface up for what he really is. You have earned a place in the history books - and as you say it’s not over yet.

He's on the telly telling us all that he received a credible threat from the police in Clacton and was advised not to attend. The police have confirmed that this is not true.. Why isn't the Beeb and Sky News emphasising this pathetic lie more?

It was. Shouldn't need to be over emphasised which would just feed into their victim narrative. Tice has weighed in saying it was a bomb threat which Reform chose not to report to police because..... So one lie or two? One threat or two?

It was certainly mentioned more throughout the day, but only just a mention and no great emphasis on the lie.. Of course the lie changed throughout the day too as they realised it was gaining traction..

Beeb called it out. Lee Anderson said the police were lying 🙄 The obvious follow-up question wasn't asked, though: Shouldn't £5m of personal security have adequately covered that...? 🤔

As has been said elsewhere the man who accepted 5 million for security claimed he didn't turn up for the result due to security concerns I guess he's saving it to :- Attend constituency surgeries or Attend parliament or Go to America to visit Frump

A bit like in court. The defendant should be present for sentence. In Faridge case not present at the count should nullify his win. The count becomes a MP.

I'd vote for you Binny. Wanna come primary whatever douche waffle the Reps stick on a pedestal in 2028? I know you *technically* have to be a US citizen but also *technically* you can't have seditioned a violent coup either so~ I think SCOTUS might just let it fly...

Disappointing. If you had taken advantage of the people who wanted to help in the campaign, you would have walked it. Had you only asked, your volunteers would have probably outnumbered the people of Clacton.

Yep, exactly. He's held zero clinics and voted once in parliament. They didn't vote for him for what he does. Only for what he represents.

"Ah but they're lying to you, the establishment, not me, they wouldn't lie to me personally and even if you proved they did, I'm sure it would be for my benefit, I win!"

If they had a credible threat of illegal activity, especially something that might endanger attendees at a public event, then they are surely obliged to inform the police?

Tice: “I would trust Nigel’s security team more than I trust any Police Force or anyone else” Sky News He got very prickly today to prove again if further proof was needed they are collectively too thin skinned for government at any level and do not respect our Police or other security services

Quite nice to see honest and unfiltered reporting from the BBC on Reform for once. This seems more likely to happen on these 'live' items than on the regular pages.

* “Police advised” = one of Nige’s gammony copper fans after six pints in The Albion said “I wouldn’t fancy it if I were you”

Certainly not a nobody. Captain Binface does have a body, a very interesting one probably. One thing, a bin for a head, yes, but no trash talk unlike the plonker who got more votes

Well done Sir. It was a good showing. You got 83% of the combined Labour, LibDem, and Green vote, from last time. So well done to them too - as at least they tried. (The other 17% aught to be ashamed of themselves.)

The rest of the missing votes were from the previous Conservative vote. This is an important lesson. Tory voters might claim to be against fascism, but they would rather abstain, and let a fascist win, than vote along with what they perceive to be a "left bloc".

Brilliant. Let’s hope the enquiry brings another election. 27pct. That is amazing against the leader of a party. Now the people of clacton work out he has not been exonerated by their vote. Sooner or later they will need that hand drier fixed.

One can only wonder: with compulsory voting & preferences counted; how far you could have gone Count Binface? Especially against a candidate that collected <28% of the Primary Vote. Fancy a trip to New England or Grayndler in 2028?

I never thought I’d see worse sportsmanship than Argentina turning their backs during Spain’s World Cup trophy presentation quite so quickly. Boy, was I wrong. farridge calling the by-election, but then not having the gumption to show up for the declaration, beats it.
