FARAGE DECLARES VICTORY IN CLACTON BY-ELECTION

CLACTON, AUGUST 14 /SRNA - RIA Novosti/ - Reform UK leader Nigel Farage said he had secured a convincing victory in the parliamentary by-election in the Clacton constituency in eastern England.

"I managed to defeat the opposition candidate," Farage told GB News.

Farage's opponent in the election was Count Binface, a comic character created by political activist and comedian Jon Harvey.

He made absurd campaign promises and appeared in an "intergalactic warrior" costume wearing a helmet shaped like a trash can.
