All it needs now is for the BBC or ITV to offer to host a head to head (no pun intended) debate between the candidates.

That would definetly put him in a awkward no win situation
I think Farage would bite the hand off for that opportunity. 30+ mins of prime-time TV to debate the benefits of Reform, effectively unopposed. And everyone would be watching for the craic!
I'm not so sure he would have an easy ride, once you know who is behind Binface. Very astute, intelligent and politically switched on

I think he might actually give Farage a hard time
However it plays out it's going to be fun! :lol:

His credits include some of the biggest satirical TV shows of the last thirty years, including The Thick Of It. Farage vs Malcolm Tucker would be a good watch.

Aside from the politics I hope the people of Clacton have a sense of humour. Seeing Binny make a maiden speech in the house would be priceless.
