After the announcement that Reform UK leader Nigel Farage would quit his Clacton constituency and stand in a by-election, the serial election candidate Count Binface posted online: “Game on, Nige.”<\/p>\n

Other candidates have not yet confirmed they will participate in the contest.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
