Pat Condell: This is so cynical...

This is so cynical. The parties refusing to stand in Clacton all put up candidates in the manufactured Makerfield by-election. They’re trying to muddy the water here so that Farage can’t claim he’s been vindicated by the people’s verdict.

Pat Condell: If Nigel Farage wants to be prime...

If Nigel Farage wants to be prime minister he has to find a way to bring the people he has alienated and excluded back into the fold. Restore Britain only exists because Nigel can’t handle criticism or dissent. This is a serious flaw that he must overcome. A real leader would have found a way to keep Rupert Lowe in the party and to harness his commitment and energy. Lowe has shown that he has more about him than any of the people in Reform.

Their percentage of the vote keeps growing. All this bleating about vote-splitting is not going to change anything or solve anything.
