Political rivals vow to boycott byelection after Farage quits as MP
The Reform UK leader had called a byelection in his Clacton constituency amid a growing scandal over gifts
Five-million Farage has flounced out of parliament in order to pause the investigations into his alleged corruption, but other major parties are refusing to contest the resulting by-election, potentially leaving him facing Count Binface as his biggest rival. With the British public's love of the underdog and refusing to do what's expected - remember Boaty McBoatface? - I wouldn't bet against it being Count Binface MP soon.
