@thotline_news: 14th August 2026 - Just my opinion. Even Farage knows how bad a look this has been for him at this point. #nigelfarage #reformuk #countbinface #clacton #edmiliband

Suzie :

Im disappointed in Clacton. They had an amazing opportunity and flopped 😒

rachelthesheep :

because he didn't want to be "demeaned and humiliated by nobodies" was a crazy stated reason to not turn up, mate. It's just over for Reform at this point.

Alex :

i hate he won, i feel let down

Junglewarrrior :

back to not showing up in Clacton immediately then.

DD :

how is a bacon sandwich more poison to ur political career than taking bribes from a crypto dude 😭

Eilís Bean Uí hEochaidh 🇦🇺 :

I’m thinking too, if he’d stood there in good humour, and congratulated everyone else for their good campaigns, it would have given him brownie points. But not showing up - and going on record as calling them a bunch of nobodies - it makes him look exactly what he is. A grifting, nasty, self-serving member of the very Establishment he was claiming to fight, and who used the voters of Clacton.

Sagittarius A :

Clacton fumbled

daniel-m-13 :

Even winning couldn’t get him to go to Clacton.

Will :

This is a brilliant way to start a Friday

tafts_bath_water1909 :

A REAL man of the people would’ve gone

ryan :

This whole election for him was a bacon sandwhich moment

Dan 🇬🇧 :

Farage said Essex Police, Essex Police said we didnt, Tice said their Security Team said it. They just cant stop lying.

TheXFiles :

eric 🏳️‍⚧️ :

i was laughing my ass off watching the news seeing the clip of him claiming he had received word of a threat to cover for the fact that he was incredibly embarrassed by how his little stunt turned out

The Bennacuda 🐟 :

To be fair if I had to wear that suit he did on Thursday I would've made up an excuse to go home

ap :

I really wanted to see that photo 😭😭

Quartus Trichardt :

Sooooo he's a coward too.

Eilís Bean Uí hEochaidh 🇦🇺 :

Not turning up just made Farage look worse than if he’d lined up with everyone else. Theresa May, Boris Johnson, Rishi Sunak, Andy Burnham all stood up there next to the Count (and Elmo, or the Fox, or however many members of the OMRLP) and it was just accepted as part and parcel of UK politics.

typhoon solos :

now back to our regularly scheduled political corruption investigation

Alex Cavallucci :

Dru(Jane Doe) :

"Essex police advised me" "Speakers house advised me" his biggest refuted lies that none of the mainstream media ever really take him to task about.

NottheBoson :

new rule, if you fail to turn up to the announcement you forfeit

AVATARML :

Am I losing my shit or is TikTok preventing me from liking your posts? Where has the like button gone???

Aneurin :

he was sacred.
