Today with David McCullagh · Clacton By election – voting today as Binface goes head-to-head with Farage · 13 Aug 2026 podcast

But now let's talk about the Clacton by-election because polls opened at seven o'clock this morning in the Essex coastal town of Clacton for one of the most unusual by-elections in British history. voice-verified

The seat was vacated last month by Reform UK leader Nigel Farage, who abruptly resigned following parliamentary scrutiny into undisclosed financial gifts and crypto donations, only to turn around and recontest the seat. voice-verified

Today, well, adding to the political drama, Britain's main parties, Labour, the Conservatives, the Lib Dems, and the Greens, they've all taken the unprecedented step of boycotting today's vote, branding it a media circus. voice-verified

That leaves Farage facing a record-breaking ballot of thirty-four candidates, ranging from local independents to the satirical candidate, Count Binface. voice-verified

Well, to look at how voting is unfolding and what's at stake, we're joined by voice-verified

George Parker, political editor at the Financial Times. voice-verified

Quite a bizarre situation. voice-verified

Uh polls opening at seven o'clock this morning in Clacton. voice-verified

How are people in Essex feeling today about this by election? voice-verified

Uh notwithstanding that there's been an awful lot of publicity around his uh rivals in this, not least Count Binface, we'll get on to him in a minute. voice-verified

But remind us why voters uh are at the polling stations today in the first place. voice-verified

I mean Nigel Frash triggered this election last month uh amid investigations into a crypto donation worth millions and other undisclosed gifts. voice-verified

Um w why did he put his seat on the line? voice-verified
