    I find it hard to believe the headline figure doesn't include a bunch of bonuses.

    I wouldn't call spending his summer fighting a bin "wins". He's back where he started, just with added ridicule.

    More votes than he got in the general election suggests he’s still popular there.

    A few more votes for him when the opposition was a bin.

    The bin got over a quarter of the vote, Farage was predicted over 70 per cent and got under this.

    And then the dickhead wouldn’t even turn up at the count, and lied as usual.

    His popularity has nose dived over recent weeks and as things stand I’m pretty hopeful he won’t ever be PM, well not with a working majority. They have the core racist vote but nothing really beyond that at present so will really struggle to get a majority.

    We don't have compulsory voting - people turned out to vote for him on a sunny day in the school holidays when there was no real chance of him losing. That says something.

    Correct. Back to scrutiny from parliamentary standards now, one presumes.

    If he's found guilty, presumably it's a formality that 10% of the Clacton electorate will vote for another by-election?

    Hard to say. It seems to be largely populated by fuckwits.

    According to wikpedia, the electorate is 76,000. 9,000 voted for Count Binface this time around, about 7,000 voted Labour and 12,000 Tory in 2024, so the numbers are there.

    Talking of Essex, the second train derailment in as many days has just happened there apparently.

    Proof if it were needed that electing Nazis does not, in fact, result in the trains running on time.

    Good news about the trains. I'm about to get one back up North with the family.
