      Why not wait until the investigation was complete, in that case, so the voters could decide based on the full set of facts?

      Me when I parachute myself into the safest Reform seat in the country and then try to use it as a proxy-vote for any and all my misdeeds.

    3. You **are** a crook Nigel, the problem is that your supporters are either too thick to understand that or for whatever reason genuinely do want a treasonous crook with disastrous policies as their local MP, which I’m sure you’ll agree are both terrifying in equal measure.

      Vote Binface.

      Doesn’t matter what the voters think in this case – it matters if he is a crook and let the court/jury decide

    5. Hi Nigel. The voters don’t have all the facts, and an investigation relies on…er…facts!!

    6. Doubt that will happen until we have a real election in Clacton, and he knows it.

      But if the people do vote count Binface, it’ll be the greatest moment of our political history.

      >“That presents an altogether different challenge for [Prevent, the UK’s anti-terrorism programme](https://archive.is/o/8Vsne/https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2025/07/14/britain-prevent-strategy-unfit-for-purpose/) – a body Farage already considers unfit for purpose. There is no organisation to monitor, no coherent ideology to infiltrate and no predictable pattern of behaviour. The threat becomes “diffuse”, he says, and invisible until the moment it materialises.“

      Farage clearly doesn’t know the facts. A big chunk of the people who prevent deal with are suspected islamists. You know, real islamists, not just every muslim in the land being painted as one. Prevent deals with one of the big issues Reform seem to care so much about.

      That’s not how it works.

      Voters sometimes vote for crooks and voters vote against law abiding candidates.

      His voters only care that he also hates brown people, not that he’s a crook.

      „get rid me“ might not be the best thing to say.

      There’s some creative psychos out there who are still eligible to vote.

    11. bigkahuna1uk on

      Do you think Farage actually wants to lose? He could get another seat say 12 months before the next election. The statute of limitations into investigation into his finances would cease as he received that donation more than a year before he was elected. Or would the parliamentary inquiry still continue regardless?

    12. Any_Association405 on

      Yeah, if it was that easy we would, unfortunately we can’t all vote for Count Bin Face, the far more sensible candidate in the Clacton By-Election, and btw you are a crook, an ugly one at that 

    13. Pope_Fintan_Stack on

      The way your health is Captain Pissteeth you’ll be getting rid of yourself soon enough.

    14. Former_Intern_8271 on

      The opposition really need to drive home his original framing of this byelection, he claimed „nobody cares“ so even if he wins, if his majority shrinks, he’s proven himself wrong.

    15. so from that logic I could literally murder babies and cannibalise them in public and as long as I get voted in I’m innocent and doing nothing wrong.

    16. Efficient_Sky5173 on

      No. By that logic, people could end up electing another Hitler.

      If you came back, Parliament’s rules would get rid of you anyway, just as they did with Boris.

    17. culture_vulture_1961 on

      I will go an shoot someone and then ask the voters if that’s okay? Not sure it works like that Nige.

    18. fameistheproduct on

      If they don’t vote you in, does that mean you retire from UK politcs?

    19. BigDsLittleD on

      >they can get rid of me

      Aye, right, because people not voting for you made you fuck off the 6 or 7 times you failed to get elected, didn’t it Nige?

    20. “I know I’m on the hook for fraud, taking bribes and potential treason, but Dave from the roaring donkey in clacton thinks I’m safe as houses so I should be let off”

      It’s such an absurd situation

    21. Jolly_Psychology_506 on

      Straight out of Alan Partridge except his not funny. Just a twat ex public school boy masquerading as man of the people and occasional farmer.

    22. Onetruemcgee on

      But that’s not the point, isn’t it Nigel? It takes all sorts to make a world; some people like having a crook as their MP, some don’t.

    23. VehicleWonderful6586 on

      The test is not whether people think you’re a crook it’s whether you are a crook

    24. You are a crook, and that’s why you’re trying to use your bubble of support in Clacton as representing reality

    25. not-ideal-but-true on

      The rest of the country know he’s a crook, Clacton voters are the issue because they voted for the nicotine stained weasel in the first place. He chose Clacton as it is an underfunded immigrant sensitive part of the country so it was an easy win.

    26. Kermit_Wazowski on

      PUT THE RUBBISH IN THE BIN
      VOTE FOR THE BIN NOT THE RUBBISH 
      MAKE YOUR VOTE COUNT 

    27. Anarchist-Tuna on

      I sometimes wonder if the fact that Nigel Farage shares the same initials as the National Front, is the reason that he is a racist arse hat. Regardless, I hope bin face wins and Nigel skulks backs to the shadows, always to be known as the man who lost to a bin…

    28. I’m a voter, I think he’s a crook but I don’t live in Clacton so I can’t get rid of him.

      I have a feeling that quite a lot of the voters who do live in Clacton do think he’s a crook, but they don’t care because they’ve been persuaded that he’s *their* crook.

    29. PartiallyRibena on

      But the public don’t have the same evidence available to them as the standards committee, do they Nige?

    30. sober_disposition on

      How disingenuous and what monumental conceit. 

      He’s been explicit about believing voters (at least the ones in the constituency in which he is standing for reelection) don’t care that he is a crook. 

    31. Part of me wants him to win only so the standards investigation can continue and expose everything there is before taking it to a criminal investigation.

       I think if he loses he will wait 3 years for memories to glaze over and try to come back again.

      At this point he’s probably expecting to lose so its all dropped and it’ll be funny to see him win and have a smug grin drop off his face instead though he’s got no shame so I might just be being hopeful 

    32. Intelligent-City-363 on

      Well, no.

      In our system we can’t vote against a candidate only for someone.

      If he wants to advocate for a system where we can have simple yes/no as to whether we want to keep an MP then I’m all ears.

      My preference would be in the event of a recall election you get two ballot papers. One a keep or sack referendum. The second with the other candidates in the usual FPTP system (excluding the sitting MP but the sitting party is free to have a separate candidate.)

      You count the referendum ballots first – if it’s 50% + 1 yes then the MP keeps their seat and everyone goes home. If it’s no then the MP is sacked and we count the FPTP ballots to determine the new mp.

      I’ve voted in plenty of elections with 2 ballot papers – one with three once – so it’s hardly a novel concept.

    33. Responsible_Dog_9491 on

      I’m a voter and I think you’re a crook so you’ll be on your way, then.

    34. Feeling_Mixture3088 on

      There is no „getting rid“ of you or your ilk. You’re an unflushable turd who keeps floating up.

    35. Please go easy on us and spare us of the mildly inquisitive nature of Annabel Denham and the telegraph. This is a weak article on poor Farage’s plight, glazing over the effect such „donations“ can have on our policy and just taking his word for it without a question. Not to mention the faux attempt at criticising his immigration arguments:

      *I point out that Channel crossings have fallen significantly compared with the same point last year, with ministers insisting the trend demonstrates their strategy is beginning to work. But Farage cuts in: “Illegal immigration should be zero. Only 1,000 terrorists this year? Oh, great! I’ll get the Champagne out of the fridge.”*
      *The line is deliberately provocative, but it captures how Farage has little interest in marginal improvement. “I’m being told by people in Dover that those coming now are the real hard cases,” he says.*

      Are those crossings down significantly or are the drops marginal? Make up your mind Annabel.
