    Nigel will do more for Clacton than The Times will do for ojective journalism, that's for sure

    So predictable, another Times hit piece. They do not even acknowledge that the guy won!

    As a New Yorker, I normally chill in London when I visit the motherland. But now I’m definitely visiting Clacton! Get those roundabouts ready

  • When I was a kid Clacton was seen a really fun place to go to the seaside - make it great again, Nigel!!

  • “What will he do for Clacton”… if it wasn’t for Nigel I wouldn’t even know about clacton so he’s already done a lot

    fandabbidossie......if this was the Scottish elections, Reform's 200,000 votes in Scotland would give them 11-19 seats at Holyrood pending on vote 1 and vote 2 choices....

    I love it when you hear all the moaning minnies spitting out their resentment and spite, when a better man bests them.

    Go Nigel forget all the critics as they just want points. Sort out the UK as Sunak did nothing

    Let’s all move to Clacton. But who’s controlling the local council? ‘Thickbroom’, what a wonderful name.

    I expect them to have a life-like sculpture commissioned. This can then placed. looking out to sea to frighten away the boat people, in a similar way as Brexit frightened away trade.

    Reform are the only party that will make real change for the better of the country.
