Farage vs Count Binface: Clacton by-election tests Reform UK's appeal
TL;DR
Nigel Farage's Reform UK defends the Clacton seat in a by-election triggered by his resignation, facing fringe candidates led by the satirical Count Binface as mainstream parties boycott the contest. With polling stations open and turnout possibly down, Farage is widely expected to win, though the vote is unlikely to shift national politics amid ongoing investigations into Reform's finances and donations.
