Nigel Farage has expressed immense relief after successfully holding his seat in a by-election he triggered himself, meaning he can finally stop visiting Clacton-on-Sea for at least six months.
There is growing concern amongst the electorate that Laurence Fox could seek to punish the nation with his ‘acting’ or ‘music’ again, after losing his deposit while trying to becoming Clacton's new MP.
The Establishment still can't really make out what message they're supposed to have been sent by the people of Clacton this morning.
Nigel Farage is today celebrating the successful conclusion of an estimated £250,000 taxpayer-funded by-election which achieved the important democratic objective of postponing an investigation into his finances for approximately five weeks.
The Clacton by-election has been won by a novelty candidate, following the announcement that Reform UK leader Nigel Farage had been victorious.
