It’s a gimmick that other parties are not falling for. Nige is making mockery of the due process.

At the moment he’s 87.5% likely to get re-elected which isn’t ideal
Professional-Oil5477 on
he’s going to run on a campaign for more arsehole sniffing and licking, love that for him
You_lil_gumper on
Hes very likely to win the by-election and this slimy little ruse is a means of taking control of the narrative that also allows him to play the victim when the parliamentary standards committee suspends him from parliament for a month or two when they conclude their investigation into the £5mill ~~bribe~~ ~~grift~~ gift he failed to declare, which will itself trigger a by election.
If he wins he can say „see, the people have spoken and the mean old establishment PSC is just persecuting me“. If he loses he takes the sting out of the PSC investigation as he’ll no longer be an MP and will therefore not be subject to whatever penalty they apply unless he runs for office again down the line
Krabsandwich on
There are some MP’s that are asking if the by-election can be delayed until the standards committee report on his £5 Million „donation“ Nigel might not get his own way on this after all. If the Government agree they can delay moving the writ until the report is published.

I think you mean „Our Nigel forced out of Parliament by the mainstream media and fights his way back in with a landslide victory in Clacton; General Election NOW! STOP THE STEAL!“
We know Reddit all sees it how it really is; but we were never going to vote for him anyway.

I think he was hoping he’d lose while appearing to fight. If he wins he’ll be right back in the same mess which is pretty amusing.

As someone who’s never been to Clacton, can someone explain why the people there like him?
I get the drivers for reform etc etc… but why would you vote for an MP that has made it abundantly clear he has no interest in actually representing you.

This seems to have been tagged „Satire“ by mistake. Perhaps one of the mods could do something about that.
There doesn’t seem to be anything satirical about the headline – just stating facts.
RedofPaw on
It’s such a pointless waste of time.
The investigations don’t go away.
Meanwhile everyone has to jump through hoops in an election he will almost certainly win again, leading us right back to now.
And why?
Because he ‚wont let‘ sky (or whoever it was) doorstep his daughter. He’s really upset his daughter is in some way having to deal with journalists, or someone showed her house…. So he has to be elected again.
I’m unclear how that makes sense.

Farage is a far-right white nationalist, activist and he hosts America First, a YouTube livestream. Like most of the far-right crowd, he specialises in provocation. [One source](https://www.realityslaststand.com/p/the-manufactured-rise-of-nick-fuentes) reports a few choice examples of his rage-bait: describing Hitler as “awesome” is one, while calling interracial marriage “degenerate” is another, as is claiming marital rape is “impossible.” Also, describing women as “fundamentally lower” in intelligence and insisting that Jim Crow segregation benefitted black Americans.
Basically, then, Farage is an equal-opportunity dog-whistler, so much so that many social media platforms have excluded him (but YouTube has had no qualms about hosting America First). His big break came in 2024, when Elon Musk let him back on X, where he now has more than one million followers.
Given the number of right-wing fanatics on X, you would have thought that just adding one more might not be so important. Big mistake. Farage is suddenly ubiquitous in American political discourse. He started popping up in the *New York Times*, the *Atlantic*[,](https://www.vice.com/en/article/paul-gosar-staffer-groyper-white-nationalist/) Politico and other respectable outlets. He has also spawned a large group of followers named, after a cartoon amphibian named Groyper, which is a variant of the internet meme [Pepe the Frog](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pepe_the_Frog). Groyper is depicted as a rotund, green, frog-like creature, often sitting with its chin resting on interlocked fingers.
‚Nigel Farage was born in Kent in 1964, not into the aristocracy exactly, but into something far more modern and effective: the comfortably padded world of the upper middle classes. His father, Guy Farage, made his living as a City stockbroker. His grandfather practised accountancy. His mother came from a respectable middle-class line. It is the sort of background that does not announce itself with titles or heraldry, but with the quiet assurance that the bills will always be paid and the future will always be manageable. From there, Farage passed into the gates of Dulwich College, one of Britain’s most rarefied private schools. Today, the fees exceed GBP twenty thousand a year, but even in the 1970s it was an institution designed for families who never needed to wonder what something costs before buying it. It is a world that trains its pupils to think of themselves as effortlessly entitled to their place, untouched by the gravitational pull of ordinary economic life.
Farage did not bother with university because he did not need to. The doors of the city were already open. He walked straight into commodities trading, a career that demands the right contacts rather than the right degrees. It is the kind of move available only to those whose lives are already cushioned by the networks that privilege quietly builds.
And so, his life unfolded: finance, then politics. No low wage jobs. No shift work. No precarious contracts. No risk of choosing between heating and eating. The man who now performs the part of the chain-smoking pub regular has never lived like one. The persona is an act, a costume donned for the cameras, designed to make privilege pass as authenticity.
His reality is different. A wealthy upbringing. An elite education. A career built first in high finance and then in the political marketplace of grievance, where he sells the idea that he is somehow one of the people he has never been required to live among.
Has Farage ever not had the money to pay a gas bill? No.
Has he ever had to worry about the electricity running too long? No.
Has he ever watched health care costs balloon and wondered how to pay them? No.
Has he ever walked round a supermarket calculating what must be put back? No.
Has he ever felt the bottomless anxiety of childcare fees, university loans, retirement savings, or a car that suddenly needs a part he cannot afford? No.
Has he ever clocked in, clocked out, begged for overtime, or taken a second job to survive? No.
Has he ever cut his own grass after a ten-hour shift in the cold? No.
His funders are among the richest people on the planet. They invest in him because he protects their world, not yours.
So, the real question is this. How can anyone believe that a man so entirely shaped by a system of privilege, a man who has never felt the weight of the pressures that define ordinary life, intends to reform a system built precisely to benefit people like him?‘ From a UK newspaper. The writer withheld their name and address. I wonder why?

How much does it cost to run a by-election? He’s paying for this right? Is this what the £5mill is for?
Horror-Protection225 on
The absolute best part is none of the other parties are fielding candidates (not sure about Green but Labour, LibDem, Tory and restore have all noped out so assuming greens will too) so our Nige has literally just blown half a million quid of taxpayers money for nothing and still had to face the commons committe but now after being humiliated by Lord Bucketface for a bit in the national press at our expense.
Fuck me, what with the weather, us being ok at footie for at least a bit longer and now niges total humiliation, it’s a good week so far.

He is such a grifter and he is playing from the Trump playbook.
He thinks that because he is a 1%’er he can ignore the law, like Donald Epstein regularly does.
But I have a sneaky feeling that this is not going to work, and what we’ll end up with is a rich and disempowered twat whining from the sidelines.

Considering Russia paid someone to try to plant a bomb near Starmer’s house, we have to be super careful who is getting into power and where their money is coming from. Are they aligned to foreign interests or are they aligned to British interests?
If you’re taking money from people abroad to enact policies which benefit those people, it’s a bribe which robs the British. We can only lose of we let this shit slide… And I am not just talking about Farage.
Horror-Protection225 on
Nige is so so so bad at parliamentary politics. I for one am looking forward to that empty village hall where half a dozen reporters watch count bucketface take the piss out of nige constantly for however long the count takes before he’s elected unopposed and straight back to the investigation but now with the added bonus of having blown half a million quid of our money on his little drama flounce.
The other parties (including restore) have played an absolute blinder.

His misogyny is pathological. In May 2023, he said that he wanted a 16-year-old wife when he is 30, “[when the milk is](https://x.com/AnOpenSecret/status/1659022901213900801?s=20) [fresh](https://x.com/AnOpenSecret/status/1659022901213900801?s=20)”. In November 2024, immediately after Donald Trump’s victory, he tweeted “Your body, my choice. Forever” on X, mocking the pro-choice slogan “My body, my choice” adopted by protesters before (and after) the US supreme court’s reversal of Roe v Wade in June 2022. Predictably, [it went viral](https://www.newsweek.com/nick-fuentas-abortion-social-post-2024-election-mysogyny-1982998) with 100m-plus views.
