15 favourite funny clapbacks to Matt Goodwin’s claim that Nigel Farage is out there playing 4D chess
It’s highly unlikely that Nigel Farage will be going to Matt Goodwin for advice on campaigning for the Clacton by-election. That hasn’t stopped the failed Gorton and Denton candidate from weighing in on the former MP for Clacton’s decision to force a by-election as a quasi-referendum on his financial dealings.
This was his hot take.
In Goodwin’s defence, he said that before this happened –

Nigel Farage just called a by-election in Clacton so that the People [sic] can have 6 weeks of manic activity with brightly coloured tat to distract them from their problems. This is Hungry Hungry Hippos. https://t.co/1P9pIpft4x

Mate, win or lose, he's up against a bin. And he might still lose.

Not surprising you lost if you watch Farage playing rock paper scissors and think it’s 4D chess.
He loses either way. Either he gets beaten by Binface or he gets back in and is eviscerated by the Standards Committee.
Real smart.

You know that if he gets re-elected it doesn't magically make all the sleaze and Parliamentary investigations disappear, right?
It's not a magical refresh button that gives him a clean slate.

He’s an idiot who called a press conference to remind us how wealthy he is before announcing his intention to wast tax payer’s money.
Didn’t even manage a full term as an MP and missed how many parliamentary votes during the time he was one?!
An utter clown.
