@simon_brooke@mastodon.scotI am delighted to hear that James Orr has stepped down from his position with #ReformUKLtd. I wonder whether he will also step down from his position with the University of Cambridge?

@pre@boing.worldDeadline to file as a candidate for Clacton passed, and full list of candidates announced.
I heard a rumour that Farage failed to file in time, but that seems not to be true.
Twenty independents, Three candidates from the Monster Raving Loony party, a bunch of small parties, and the two fore-runners: Nigel Farage and Count Binface
Thirty Four candidates at an election is a British record.
One clear unity candidate. Every vote for the Count counts!

@pre@boing.worldOwen Jones has gone down and interviewed some randoms. Only seems to have found one sane one.
Not a great deal of hope for Binface fans here though I'm afraid.
His supporters are so cynical about politics they don't care, they're all like "all politicians are doing it" which isn't true at all but they doesn't get through to people
That sense of cynicism and pessimism saturates this country
