'Liv Struss' to stand in by-election

Vs Nigel Farage and Count Binface'

Could the  Clacton by-election get any more ridiculous?

Only with the addition of Liz Truss to the ballot paper… or rather the entirely unrelated ‘Liv Struss’, the comedy alter-ego of Nerine Skinner.

Could the short-lived PM provide the political ballast to stand up to the mighty Count Binface? Or even the joke candidate Nigel Farage?
