Farage set for decisive but empty Clacton byelection win

Nigel Farage is poised to win the Clacton byelection against 33 fringe candidates, including Count Binface, after other major parties declined to stand. The Reform UK leader called the vote to regain political initiative amid scrutiny over undeclared gifts. His victory may be hollow if turnout is low, and he faces a standards investigation that could trigger another byelection.
