Far from being a “stunning victory” that will put him on course for Downing Street, Nigel Farage’s “humiliating and demeaning” performance in the Clacton by-election showed exactly why we are now heading towards the end of his political career, rather than the beginning of a massive new chapter

The Clacton by-election result showed exactly how it's all going to end for the Reform UK leader

They've now altered the headline to be about "changes". The word is "cut". They're promising to cut welfare for millions of people
The hounding and subsequent suicide of Jason Arday seems eerily similar to the death of Lucy Meadows 13 years ago! 😞 In fact, it’s noticeably worse - as abundant digital pages are used by journalists & editors as weapons to target ‘uppity minorities’ who threaten the elite “British” ‘status quo’! 😖

I don’t think there’s ever been a clearer example of the British media bullying someone, who was so clearly vulnerable, to death so shamelessly in my lifetime for engagement and clicks And now we’ll have to watch the people that did it claim they’re shocked, and horrified Revolting
BBC third attempt will be easier to defend against complaints: "Reform proposes £50bn welfare bill cut with changes to disability payments for millions" www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
BBC have tweaked the headline's claim from "would" to "to": "Reform UK plans to overhaul welfare system to save £50bn" - which remains a poor, credulous and skewed headline. "Reform claims its welfare reform plans could save £50bn" would be the report here. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
This is an inappropriate, credulous & politically biased BBC headline. The claims about savings will be sharply contested. News reports should not imclude what reads as an ediorial endorsememt in the headline www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
Appalling headline from BBC .. not “ they claim it would “ just a statement accepted and repeated as fact ! Bias, what bias ??? @bbcnewsnight.bsky.social please challenge this !

After Arday resigned from Cambridge and said he could take no more, the press wrote another 188 articles about him newscord.org/editorials/j...
Jason Arday told the press he was at his limit. It answered with 188 more articles. He is dead at 41.
A full census of the 249 articles fifteen national outlets published about Jason Arday in 22 days, with the last day reconstructed hour by hour. Every article listed and linked.

From this review- “Think of all the diligent, decent black academics who have been lumbered with the embarrassment of having Arday as a figurehead” - no, think of *why* black academics are held collectively responsible in ways that white academics are not
Stephen Bush@stephenkb.bsky.social · yesterdayI think functionally all of the post-resignation coverage that was about him rather than Cambridge was excessive (e.g. this poisonous review of a book nobody is going to buy - why)
This is the coverage of Arday **just in the Telegraph** in the UK. This is only the first four pages of results, just in one outlet.

Staggered and heartbroken that my sole appearance on The One Show, arguing pointlessly with James Cleverly about something or other, hasn't made the highlights of the last 20 years. Yet more proof of the ongoing Establishment conspiracy against me. Perfect TV tonight though, so I'll let it go. *yet

From a father's friend. The hills above Crickhowell are still burning. Smoke in the house again last night. There appears to be five major fires in Wales now. The same as the whole of France.
When you're the leader of the Reform party standing against a bin in the most pro-Reform constituency in the country, and you barely get six out of ten votes, then the game is fully up

Sir Michael Take CBE@sirmichaeltake.bsky.social · 2d agoA rather hungover middle aged man who has been partying all night calls the police liars. My wife Bunty tells me he’s an MP. Really? 😱 More like one of those obnoxious yobs you see on those reality programmes about the police on Channel 5.
He genuinely could not have messed this stunt up more than he has. Absolutely no upsides for Farage from calling a by election
Wow this is a bad result for Farage. In the most Reform friendly seat in the country should get more than this - and Binface’s result shows once again that the centre and left will vote for literally anyone to try and stop him.

And, of course, there’s a real chance of *another* by-election in Clacton sooner rather than later. The egotism involved is off the charts. I do wonder whether people who voted for him this time might tire of indulging it.
And now the investigation into the £5 million secretly-gifted by an ‘economic migrant’ recommences. If nothing else has been achieved with this daft by-election, the idea that Farage is some sort of master strategist has been put to bed. It’s easy to look good when you’re getting free passes galore.
Quote of the morning: Nick Ferrari: Nigel does want to be the next Prime Minister, doesn't he? Richard Tice: "Yes he does, but to be the Prime Minister, you have to remain alive."
A lot of hubris on display in Clacton this morning. Or technically not on display, I suppose.
I came first in the Clacton by-election! Of the candidates who bothered to turn up for the results. Here is my victory speech!
Nigel Farage has had an underwhelming result from a by-election that Reform UK threw everything and everyone at.
