Farage accused of trying to ban Count Binface from Clacton by-election
Nigel Farage is facing accusations of being afraid of Count Binface by supporting a move to ban him. Reform UK, Farage's party, wants to outlaw all face coverings in public, which would include his "independent space warrior" opponent. Labour MP Joe Powell called the potential ban "ridiculous," saying it makes Reform UK look like "a bunch of chickens."
