Fine, am I am I in the presence of newscasters at the Edible Fresh?
Yes.
This is tremendous.
So I am pacing around the BBC's newsroom in London having just got back from a day at the seaside, which is what you do in August, isn't it?
Yes.
And I went there to see a Nigel Farage victory rally and to do an interview and came back having seen neither a rally nor done an interview.
Uh because both of those things uh were cancelled.
So that was a uh journalistic roaring success on my part.
Um and uh let's hope the rest of the day is a bit better.
Well yeah, he didn't turn up.
So here this is a event that you know, this by election contest was triggered by Nigel Farage, wasn't it?
You know, he decided to call this by election to resign as an MP because he wanted to make an argument that it was the people, if you like, in his constituency in Clacton on the Essex coast, versus what he sees as various uh sort of folk or institutions that
Are out to get him.
And his critics would say, hang on a minute, there are mechanisms to ensure that MPs follow the rules.
You'll remember this whole row about the gift of five million pounds that he was given by a billionaire called Christopher Harborn and whether he needed to register that.
It was a gift that he was given before he was an MP, but the rules suggest that if it's happened in the 12 months before you become an MP, you ought to register it.
And if in doubt, just register it.
He reckons the advice he got said that he didn't need.
To um anyway, along comes the by-election.
He wins the by-election handsomely, albeit without the other big parties actually running.
