1. 2nd, 3rd and 4th parties in 2024 refusing to put up a candidate for the farce

Tuesday

Tories, Labour and Lib Dems - and Restore too, the nutters to the right of Reform. Only the Greens haven't decided yet:

A Green Party spokesperson said: "This is a decision for Clacton Green Party but we are a political party - we contest elections."

But this could be the moment Count Binface has been waiting for! Already, the others are doing his bidding:

In a statement on Tuesday afternoon, the comedian Jon Harvey, also known as Count Binface, offered his candidacy as a unifying force. “Labour, Tories, Lib Dems and Greens: I demand you stand down in Clacton,” Count Binface wrote. “I will be a unity candidate and pledge to build at least one affordable house. Nigel Farage says he wants The People versus the Establishment. So be it. Leave him to me.”
