Just to cheer you all up, here's the latest Address To The Nation (well, Clacton, anyway) by the one-and-only serious candidate in the upcoming by-election:
I have read them all and there's only one sensible one.
Tony Francis independent -lives in Clacton. In a post on social media he says he is standing to put local people before party interests, practical solutions before political games, and service before ego.
He wants to protect the Clacton coastline and open spaces, support older residents and vulnerable people and improve local transport infrastructure.
Gosh, @Boogie that seems to go well beyond the call of duty seeing as you don't actually live in Clacton. I've gone rather off Binface after hearing him onThe Rest is Politics. He came across as rather arrogant and too clever by half.

Clacton deserves better than Farage, or at least those do who didn't vote for him in 2024,,,
