Well, it looks like Nigel Farage’s poor attempt to drum up some much-needed positive PR by creating a Makerfield v2 moment in Clacton-on-Sea has rather brilliantly backfired.
With the main parties refusing to play along, and no serious opposition candidates putting themselves forward, with the obvious and glorious exception of Count Binface, this could become a very funny by-election indeed.
Unfortunately, it’s probably not what the people of Clacton actually need.
