Lee Anderson, Reform UK’s chairman, has branded the Westminster parties boycotting the Clacton by-election “political cowards” as he predicted a “win for democracy” in the seat.
Mr Anderson, speaking to GB News, said Labour, the Tories, Greens and Lib Dems “were scared to stand candidates since they knew that Nigel would thrash them at the ballot box”.
