Reform UK leader Nigel Farage has reclaimed his seat following a win in the Clacton by-election, as Count Binface comes in second with 26 per cent of the vote. The returning MP did not attend the declaration after Reform UK made claims of a "credible threat" against him, with Mr Farage himself adding that Essex Police had told him there was an "organised campaign to disrupt and degrade the result". It is understood that Essex Police did not advise him not to attend the count. 00:00 | Nick Ferrari recalls that Margaret Thatcher still turned up to her Finchley count despite death threats, and the assassination of MP Airey Neave. 02:12 | Henry Riley reports from the count, interviews Count Binface, Reform councillor Jaymey McIvor about Farage's absence, and shows how long the ballot papers for Clacton were. 07:29 | Nick Ferrari presses Richard Tice on the real reason why Nigel Farage wasn't at the count. 10:46 | Labour's Bridget Phillipson says there is 'nowhere for him to hide'. 1
