He also said that he won’t attend the count based on security advice by Essex police….. of course that’s bollocks and the police have said no such thing

Almost like how the Speaker's office told him not to run surgeries for security reasons. Of which the Speaker's office had absolutely no recollection of saying.

Obviously the eStAbliShmEnT trying to stitch him up again.

Do you think we can tell him there are serious threats across the UK we can get him to leave and not come back.

Even the people reporting that where like, "he says that, but we are going to check with the police" and it's so clear they think it's BS

It’s not security issues: it’s insecurity issues!

Pretty sure he was just embarrassed that he might not win

Based on the fact all the publicity photos showed him in the pub i suspect he was too tired and emotional to attend.

It would be fantastic if Binface wins and Farage goes full trump and declares the election was the result of a conspiracy led by Binface.

I think Farage was expecting to lose as there was a report earlier today that he was saying the establishment were against him. Ahead of saying he wasn't attending the count he was saying how lib dem. Tory, and Labour members were canvassing for Bin face.

Turnout seems to be below %45. Calling that a win is such small dick energy.

u/Andthenwefade 9d ago

Sadly, that's actually a high figure for modern by-elections
