## Resource

In today’s episode of The Daily T , Camilla Tominey and Tim Stanley discuss whether Nigel Farage has committed the ultimate act of self-sabotage by triggering another by-election in his constituency of Clacton. As Reform UK orders its northern activists to abandon the Greater Manchester mayoral race and head to the campaign trail in Essex, has Farage completely overplayed his hand? They also delve into the profile of Farage’s only opponent so far, Count Binface, and his chances of winning. Camilla and Tim also break down the hilarious conspiracy theory that Tim is secretly the man behind the intergalactic silver waste receptacle. Elsewhere, the pair discuss Prince Harry’s financial woes as he faces stumping up a share of a £50m legal bill after losing his case against the publisher of The Daily Mail. We want to hear from you!
