So who's going to foot the bill for this? What would it prove even if he did win? fact is he took a £5 Million bung and God knows what else and that's not going to go away is it, the public would be better served if this went to the Courts, that's the proper place to decide these issues.

Go for it Nigel.

What a faff and waste of public money for you to have to resign for c0rruption, force a by-election, and grovel to ask to be re-elected.
You fell for it once, Clacton.
Please don't fall for it again.

Nigel Farage has done more for this nation than any other politician since Churchill.
He's shakened up the establishment and helped to shake off the shackles of Europe.
He is to my mind the only one today that can inspire our nation to regain its rightful place has a leader in World politics.
The UK needs to show their full support for Nigel

Byeeeeeeeeeeee, Mr line in his pockets

He is cleverly framing this as a contest of “the people versus the establishment“, playing on the idea he has relentlessly exploited, that he, the privately educated, multi-millionaire, ex-financier, is anti-establishment, and that “they” are threatened by him.

Needless to say, this is all - as Heritage party leader, David Kurten, put it - “clown show theatre”.
@
Thank.u for Resigning... youve deserved it🖐
@
The grift has run its course,
Mr Establishment knows too many are starting to see him for exactly what he is
@
Where are the needs of the people of Clacton in this performance? Being an MP is about public service...your constituents aren't there to fight your battles, save your image, or to be your 'two fingers to the establishment' (especially given that, as a wealthy white man, you ARE the establishment)! They voted for you and you are supposed to be serving them. Instead, your behaviour is causing instability in your constituency, which is the polar opposite of what you should be doing. This is the most audaciously narcissistic act of gargantuan proportions.

The guy who has a private show on GBNews and is glazed by the right wing press, is now saying the media is against him, all because a few journalists have dug into his private affairs. Apparently the next PM folks...
