> Nigel Farage won a comfortable by-election in the constituency centered on the English resort town of Clacton-on-Sea, taking 62.8% to return to Parliament and retain his House of Commons seat. Count Binface, the satirical candidate dressed as a trash can, won 26.7%. The result is unlikely to end questions about the Reform UK leader’s personal finances.
