And then he didn’t turn up to the vote count, citing a threat of disruption given to him by Essex police. A claim Essex police subsequently denied having made to him. Farage is a charlatan and a grifter, and frightened of a bin, and a parliamentary enquiry. Which he’ll now face anyway.

"Turnout was slightly higher than expected, with 35,401 voters — 44 percent of those eligible — participating in the election." He won with the support of 27% of his electorate.

Apparently political dysfunction is rampant the world over.

Breaking news: the expected outcome in a by-election on an island off the coast of Europe.

they pretty much do -- one of the most blighted areas of the UK: severe economic challenges, high unemployment, and deprivation

No major party contested this. His most credible opponent wore a bin on his head. He called it a jury delivering “the verdict”; but a trial nobody prosecuted isn’t a verdict. It’s a sham. The mandate was never actually tested.

What's even better: the Westminster enquiry into Farage's corruption (allegedly) will now resume.

Still he is a bad loser and like trump a lier and fond of money

Another 🍊💩 on a horizon, where is the medal? 🤣

Farage had to fight against a man in a trash can, so very humiliating. Worse is to come. A parliamentary investigation and then another by-election. Investigation by the National Crime Agency and the likelihood of several years in jail.

A disappointment. I was hoping this was Binfacr’s.
