    Stood for Reform. Not a single constituent has seen or heard of him. No trace on search. No presence at all in the constituency. No evidence of any campaigning. Didn’t turn up for the count. Looks like an AI generated Ken doll. Who is this chap? Is it Nettleton?

    That's class to be fair. What a world. How many votes did 'it' get?

    Having spent a fair bit of time generating AI images, that's an AI image, and not even a good one.

    If someone said before the election that someone who didn’t exist would get 1800 votes you wouldn’t believe it, but then again, they were reform voters :rolleyes:

    Well he was a part time actor who had worked for channel four before and that was the claim... don't shoot the messenger.

    Didn’t they put a candidate in every constituency but only actually campaigned in the ones which they considered might be winnable? Sure I heard or read that somewhere

    Yes. The suggestion is that they may have put up the odd ‘fake’ candidate here and there. Sounds like a crazy conspiracy theory, but it would be brilliant if true.

    That’s not uncommon tbf. I don’t think anyone else has ever fielded a fictitious candidate though. I know they say ‘vote for policies not people’, but this is taking that to another level :)

    Yes he had done paid work as an actor. That was his previous job. Like Starmer was a solicitor. Or Sunak was a banker.

    He was suspended then sacked (I think) after the expose.

    Unlike his close aide who made the homophobic remarks. Farage said the aide would be removed from the campaign, only for him to be present at the results announcement. Farage is full of $hite.

    No, that was Farage's bluster to deflect the heat.
