Labour ‘right’ to not stand in ‘farce’ Clacton by-election as Farage returns to parliament
Chair of the Labour Party Bridget Phillipson has told Sky News that her party was right to not stand against Nigel Farage in the Clacton by-election.
The contest was triggered by the Reform UK leader’s resignation in July in protest at a parliamentary investigation into a £5m “gift” he received.
Mr Farage won with 22,239 votes, which was 62.82% of the vote.
The Clacton by-election was boycotted by all the other major parties.

The establishment: Farage might have won, but only 44% voted. Bin Face got over 9k votes, lol, and Farage has been made to look a fool, bringing on the enquiry again, and him resigning and going to America and never being seen again
Labour has been backing away from ordinary Britons for years now… They prefer the London elite and the migrants.
Andy Burnham creates a fake by election to to become a fake PM and thats ok is it labour?
But laughing about early release, farce government…
Typical crap Sky News report just like the BBC, propaganda through and through all told by the crooked government that we have.
Farage is finished…
More lies from the Liebour Party than a 12th-century bed !!!
Beautiful eyes
So predictable response…… Why bother interviewing myopic politicians, at least he has not been parachuted to be our PM from winning a "planed" bi-election. The hypocrisy is so clear.
Sky worse news channel going, everyone should boycott it.
This woman is a smug, smirking twit. Evidence of a totally broken British system.
Labour and cons refused to take part in an election. I wonder why?
lol, now that he's wasted so much taxpayer money, we're right back where we were and the parliamentary investigation will begin again.
