Anybody afford any credibility at all to Farage’s ludicrous claims that his family were being harassed ?

As I understand it (from LBC), The Sunday Times published photos of each of Farage's properties, including one occupied by his adult daughter. Sky News then sent a team round to film there.
That's it.
That's all he's got.
That's harassment, laying siege and threatening Farage's daughter.

The Green Party was less certain, with a spokesman saying it was a decision for members in Clacton whether to put up a candidate “but we are a political party – we contest elections”.
No matter which party they're in this week, they're always right and the rest of the world's always wrong.

For all the faults of Kemi and there are a lot she and Rupert Lowe have both stated the fact this is a hissy fit and that we wait for any procedural by election to take place once the review has been concluded.

If Bin face faces him with a couple of other no marks it demostrates it for what it is, a joke contest.

If the Greens run they are fucking dumb by legitimatising a hissy fit.

Reform sent out Laila Cunningham to bat for Farage on Newsnight and she was utterly vile. I really can't see how politicians like Cunningham are going to win over floating voters to Reform.

Greens aren't standing confirmed Hannah Spencer on Newsnight. Who was unfortunate enough to have to sit next to Reform ranty mad woman Laila Cunningham. And Bob Jenrick is becoming more unhinged by the day. I think Reform are being trained up by a Trump comms team person, when in a tight corner shout your way out and play the victim of your accuser. Not a good look to attract grown-ups.

Edit: Great minds satnav

I’m glad Greens aren’t standing. Sensible heads prevail now it’s just the deranged mind of the likes of Owen Jones who I thought would know better but then since Corbyn he’s never had a good take.

The chances of the FFC losing the bye-election would be very unlikely, but what would be only slightly less unlikely would be the ideal scenario in that Farage wins but only beats off Count Binface (or any other unserious challenger) by no more than a couple of thousand votes. He would have then technically won the battle but lost the war in just about seeing off Binface and then have no option but return to Westminster, humiliated, where investigations into his dodgy dealings would be unpaused (the only other option would be to resign again, which would finish him off for good). So I'm hoping Binface places an important emphasis on restoring Ceefax, as that might be one way to get the Clacton folk to vote for him! 8-)
