Rumour has it Carole Vorderman has thrown her hat in the ring. Celebrity candidates don't have a good track record and even if they're in a mainstream party, they play down their showbiz past. Voderman is a serious person but that gives the contest more credibility as its not just Farage Vs a bloke with a bin on his head.

There's always one who has to spoil it for everyone else. Like school with a supply teacher covering last lesson: "You can finish 15 minutes early if there's silence while you get on with your work." There'd always be some cunt who just couldn't keep his mouth shut.

Apart from them already having a celebrity MP, what's the point of her doing this? She'll lose and Farage will be able to claim a victory over the combined forces of the Woke establishment.

Farage will be able to claim a victory over the combined forces of the Woke establishment.

Precisely this, especially with Vorderman.

I don't think Vorderman will want to stand against Fargle in his contrived pantomime by-election . She's far more savvy than that, will be talking to Labour and perhaps the other proper political parties as well, and will follow suit on them in not falling into line with Fargle's egotistical spin of the electoral roulette wheel.

Now, if and when Fargle is returned after the panto by-election and the parliamentary standards investigation resumes, and, it can be presumed, results in a legitimate further by-election, that's a different matter. Vorderman may well stand in that one, and might even, if all the parties can agree to give her a clear run, be persuaded to do it as an anti-corruption candidate in the manner of Martin Bell in 1997 in Tatton - where he successfully brought down the loathsome (friend of Fargle) Neil Hamilton.

On another note, Count Binface was interviewed by Nick Robinson on the Today programme earlier - at about ten to nine. He was quite brilliant.
