Over one in four people in Clacton would rather have Count Binface as their MP than the leader of Reform UK. 100x more votes than he got against Andy Burnham. 👍🏼 Farage was so scared of being photoed next to a 🗑️ he didn't even turn up for the count results […] [Original post on mastodon.me.uk]

Count Binface says he's winner among candidates 'who bothered to turn up'

Count Binface has taken to social media to declare:

I came first in the Clacton byelection! Of the candidates who bothered to turn up for the results.

The self-declared “entirely independent space warrior” who emerged as Farage’s strongest challenger – aka comedian Jon Harvey – also said in his “victory speech” posted on X:

Well a new dawn has broken, has it not? Literally, because it’s past 6.30 in the morning here in Clacton-on-Sea.

Citing the 9,455 votes he received at the poll, Binface said that just eight weeks ago in the Makerfield byelection he got 95.

That means, I’ve got – against Nigel Farage – 10,000% more votes than I got against Andy Burnham. What does that tell you?

Well it tells you that Nigel, who said that he didn’t want to be humiliated, maybe has been. As for me, I’m over the moon – I’m over your moon, I’m over my moons – and what comes next, well we shall see.

But you know what, we know this for a fact: over one in four people in this constituency would rather have Count Binface as their MP than the leader of Reform UK. And I’m just getting started.
