00:00Nigel Farage has seen off the threat from Count Binface and is on his way back to Parliament.
00:04But here's why the Reform UK leader's problems aren't necessarily over.
00:09Nigel Farage won 62.8% of the Clacton vote, although he skipped the declaration of the final result.
00:15His main challenger was the joke candidate, Count Binface, who, by the way, scored a personal best of 26.7%.
00:23Against Nigel Farage, compared to Andy Burnham, I am 1,000 times more popular.
00:29All of the major political parties, though, boycotted the election, which Farage had called by resigning as an MP because
00:36they wanted to make the point that it was no more than a stunt.
00:39Now, that's because the whole reason Farage quit was to try to draw a line under a £5 million gift
00:45that he'd received from a Thailand-based crypto investor.
00:49Farage tried to frame the election as a people versus the establishment moment.
00:53And while the contest was going on, the parliamentary ethics probe into that donation paused.
00:58But within hours of Farage's special election win, that investigation started up again.
01:03So, what next?
01:04If the probe vines against Farage, it could force another vote in Clacton.
01:09It would be another dramatic twist in UK politics.
01:12But one thing is certain.
01:14Count Binface has already promised that if there is another vote, he'll be back.
01:18And next time, he and Farage will likely face much more serious opposition.
01:23Go back to yourходит!
01:23depreciate!
01:23increase other total frustration.
01:23With Assembly
