He thought he could escape the investigation into his dodgy donations by triggering a by-election and using the voters of Clacton as a human shield.
He was wrong. As most of us already knew, the investigation will re-start as soon as he's relected.
You can run, Nigel, but you…

Imagine triggering a by-election, spending your summer fighting Count Binface and then discovering the standards investigation you left Parliament under could be waiting when you get back.
According to reports, Farage’s team was “poorly informed” about exactly that. pic.twitter.com/enB6QVZRSe
