Today, Nigel Farage was re-elected as MP for Clacton after his resignation in July triggered a by-election in the seat. Adam and Henry are live onstage at the Edinburgh Fringe to discuss all the results from the by-election, and what could happen next for Nigel Farage. The parliamentary standards investigation have reopened their investigation into a £5m gift received by Nigel Farage. So, what conclusions can be drawn from the by-election campaign? Why did Nigel Farage not appear at the count, and cancel a speech on Friday morning?

  • Hello from our fifth and final show from the Edinburgh Fringe.

  • Can I get an awe?

  • I'm told from comedians that's called crowd work.

  • So I've been learning.

  • I've been learning from my week at the Edinburgh Festival.

  • And Henry Zefman is here for his second helping.

  • Hello, Henry.

  • Hi, Adam.

  • Great to be here.

  • And you've heard them already.

  • There's an audience of newscasters here to listen to an episode of Newscast.

  • Hello, it's Adam on the newscast stage.

  • And it is Henry, also on the newscast stage.

  • And we're joined by hundreds of newscasters.

  • Hello.

  • Right, straight into today's big political news, Henry, and it is the Clacton by-election has finally ended,

  • and it ended in the way that we suspected it probably would with Nigel Farage winning.

  • Yeah, I think one of the things that I have been asked most by people who I encounter,

  • who aren't necessarily massively involved or interested in politics over the past few weeks,

  • has been, does Count Binface have any chance of winning the Clacton by-election?
