CNN Reporter Clare Sebastian says there are no confirmed candidates set to run against Nigel Farage in the Clacton by-election other than Count Binface. “What we have learned today is that Farage wants to fight another day; he sees a real prospect for himself and his party,” Ms Clare told Sky News Australia. “Number two, he is not immune from the rules, and I think it is very clear that many of the other parties see this as a stunt. “So we’ll see whether that affects their decision as to whether or not to field candidates in that by-election.”
