More details here: https://thenationalpulse.com/2026/08/14/farage-increases-vot...

It's interesting to me how the AP version downplays the increased support that Farage won in this election.

Not really - the headline notes that the election was boycotted by the other major parties, so while his vote share increased 17.1% the 2nd through 5th placed parties last time didn't run and they previously won 52.7% of the vote.

There may be a second by-election in Clacton following the results of the ongoing investigation which the other large parties have stated they would stand in.
