Could Farage’s by-election backfire?
Nigel Farage has sent shockwaves through Westminster as he announced he would stand down as an MP but then contest the seat at the by-election.
Is it all a stunt to distract from scrutiny over his financial support as opposition parties say?
On this weeks’ Talking Politics, Robert is joined by ITV News Political Correspondent Harry Horton to discuss what this means for Farage’s political future.
Labour say the saga is a ‘circus’, while the Tories accuse Farage of having a ‘hissy fit’.
Robert and Harry discuss whether Count Binface could finally make it to Parliament, and whether Farage will come out of all of this looking ‘silly’.

Could Farage's by-election backfire ?……No !
Unfortunately Farage is the only one who believes in the democratic rights of the electorate, unlike this bent,corrupt, treasonous ROGUE party/gov who are running like hell away from being held to account in the country.
Anyone who still votes tory or labour is nothing less than a traitor to this country.
It's a genius move and the Uniparty have already bottled it. They don't even respect their own voters.
When is restore party going to have branches all over the country if reform Party win the next general election the country will be in a right state if green party win the General election the country will go to the dogs unite the centre right
