Worthy Opponents

As the verdict looms regarding the strutting Caudillo and one of his smaller billionaire bungs, at least two frėres et semblables of the Farage Falange are making noises about the possible second by-election in Clacton. In the wake of the conference season, some parties are perhaps a little distracted by their own affairs: the ex-Deputy Conservatives are worried whether Sir Edward Davey has been falling into enough canals lately, while Labour and the Greens are in the throes of forming a coalition to frame Zack Polanski as the new Jeremy Coebbels. Nevertheless, both the violet-visaged gentleman farmer Rupert of Yarmouth and the mugger-lode for the Falange front bench are readying themselves for a closely-fought contest against the man who enabled Count Binface to retain his deposit.
