‘A serious risk ’: Nigel Farage may lose Clacton by-election to Count Binface

​GB News host Patrick Christys says there is a “serious risk” Reform UK Leader Nigel Farage loses to Count Binface in the Clacton by-election. ​All other parties have ruled out contesting the Clacton by-election triggered by the resignation of Mr Farage. “It’s kind of backfired because the only person standing against him now is a man named Count Binface who dresses up as a trash bin,” Mr Christys told Sky News host Andrew Bolt. ​“It’s just Farage versus Binface at the moment. “However, there is a serious risk here at the moment… that the man who is leading the party that’s ahead in the polls and is probably going to be the next prime minister loses to a bloke dressed as a dustbin. ​“This is ludicrous, Nigel Farage. I hope he doesn’t, might lose to a bloke dressed as a bin. “It’s all been ridiculous.”
