Will Nigel Farage transform Clacton? | Times Reports

Nigel will do more for Clacton than The Times will do for ojective journalism, that's for sure

Everyone has abandoned Clacton, but Farage has a plan to attract tourism and investment. Clacton residents voted for him for a reason.

[@localreviewking134]

@@MoveFreerunning The previous Member of Parliament (MP) for Clacton was Giles Watling, who represented the Conservative Party. He held the seat from June 8, 2017, until May 30, 2024 So the only way Nigel could win was to parachute him into a white area? Hmm, he would not have won in London I guess! Have on a minute all you conspiracy theorists (reform voters) wasn`t the last Tory MP an actor? I got you, time to ban actors!!! They are left wing, hand on Giles was a Tory? Not much of win really, Giles got 30,000 majority, Nigel got 8,000. He could easily lose next time around!!!! Therefore, why exactly are you directly blaming Labour when a Tory was in charge in Clapton.

The proof of the pudding is whether constituents feel that their lives have been improved with him as an MP. It depends on if he gets inward investment into Clacton as he said he would try to do and he needs to be kind of a marketing guy/ambassador for the constituency, particularly with regard to tourism. Talk is cheap with politicians. Action is needed. Clacton needs to serve as a flagship constituency for Reform.

[@PaulB-u5c]

Farage is not the answer, he offers simple solutions to complicated problems that he has no idea how to solve resolve. You will see over time, history will not be kind to him or his party. Give Labour a chance to resolve the issue through long term planning and implementation.

[@zog97xy]

He is just a foghorn nothing else.

[@bouyaharumuchi]

Do you mean implementation of open borders for migrants and halved prison sentences for criminals? Anyway, you do call it an issue, so you must agree to some extent that open borders and unmitigated migration in a country is a problem?

[@PaulB-u5c]

People arriving by small boats with no checks is of course a problem. The people who are crossing are often in danger and when they arrive they can’t work, find a home, find work, pay tax etc so of course that is a problem that’s needs managing. Regarding the prisons, this again is a major issue, the prisons aren’t big enough and can’t cope with the population now, the probation service was partly privatised a number of years ago and public services have been under funded for a long time (police, gp’s, hospitals) it needs a careful thought out solution and I don’t think Farage or Reform are capable of doing this, the tories have to accept some of the blame so let’s give labour a chance.
