Police have contested Nigel Farage’s claims that he was told by officers not to attend the Clacton -by-election count due to a “credible threat” against him.
The Reform UK leader pre-empted the result by telling supporters he had won “fairly convincingly”, adding that he would not attend the official declaration at Clacton Leisure Centre because Essex Police had told him about an “organised campaign to disrupt and degrade the result”.
