Politics clacton election nigel farage
This Clacton woman’s magnificent take on Nigel Farage and the state we’re in now had the whole internet applauding
Nigel Farage is coming to the end of his first full week of campaigning after the Reform UK leader announced his eighth attempt to get elected as an MP, this time in the Essex constituency of Clacton.
It’s not gone entirely well so far, as you can’t help but have noticed.
Mostly the milkshake, obviously.

Then there was this hilarious BBC News meltdown (which doesn’t bode well for this Friday’s BBC TV debate in which he will take part).

Ben Thompson, “Call it a pressure group, call it a party, you were a candidate to be an MP on a ballot paper”
Nigel Farage, “How many times have you stood?”

And we return to Clapton and the topic of the country’s least elected parliament candidate because of this local woman’s take on Farage and the state of the nation in general.
And it went viral because she absolute nails it.

This Clacton local is flat out terrific. Would a thousand times prefer seeing Farage being forced to debate her for an hour than having milkshake thrown over him so he can wallow in his victim status https://t.co/omHtd8oqxU

Give this lady the job as the local MP.
She speaks a lot of sense and has compassion for the community she lives in.
She’d be great— Matthew Hyland (@Hyland_7) June 5, 2024
