Count Binface Reveals Full Manifesto Ahead of Clacton by-Election

Martin Davies says Freedom Alliance offers Clacton voters a serious alternative with policies on digital ID, transparency and MP pay reform.

  • On Monday, comedian-turned-political hopeful Count Binface released his 20-point manifesto for the Clacton by-election, featuring pledges to cap bus fares at £1.99 and regenerate Walton Pier.
  • Reform UK leader Nigel Farage triggered the by-election earlier this month following intense scrutiny over his finances and a £5 million gift from crypto-billionaire Christopher Harborne.
  • Standing for the Freedom Alliance party, retired Lloyds banker Martin Davies is one of 34 candidates vying for the seat, aiming to provide Clacton with a 'genuine alternative.'
  • As mainstream parties boycott the contest, the field remains open to independents and smaller parties in what Farage has billed as a 'people versus the establishment' showdown.
  • Voters head to the polls on August 13, with supporters urging residents to participate in what they have dubbed 'Bin Day' to clean up Clacton.
