One other thing. If I were the other parties, I leave Farage to his by election. Call it a stunt and let him fight it out with Count Binface

In 2008 David Davis resigned from parliament to call a by-election over 42 day detention. It was seen as a stunt, and none of the other major parties stood candidates as a result. Whole thing looked a bit daft. Danger for Farage is same thing happens.
Andrew Holgate retweeted
There is no need for other parties to take the bait offered to them by Farage today.
This is a nonsensical & frivolous by-election that's about no great point of principle or policy.
The sensible thing to do is to refuse to put up candidates and let Farage win unopposed.

When England triumphs in international football, you'd think Reform supporters, being "patriots", would celebrate harder than anyone. But they can't, because the England national side is one of the great success stories of the multicultural Britain they'd like to destroy. #MEXENG

I took ages to work out why Farage didn't declare the £5million late, once the standards inquiry started. It's public anyway.
But if he cedes the principle, he'd have to declare ALL donations for the 12 months before the GE. And perhaps there's so much more we DON'T know about.
EXCLUSIVE
Nigel Farage failed to declare that a criminal and crypto gambler paid for his staff, security, drivers, social media output in year before election
Reform leader has also received free accommodation in Westminster from George Cottrell as MP

BREAKING: Nigel Farage referred to the parliamentary standards commissioner following our Insight investigation
We revealed he accepted benefits including staff, security, drivers, office support, social media support, accommodation.
.@Nigel_Farage has made a career out of ‘taking back control’ - but he is not being straight with the British people about who controls him.
Today, I have written to the Standards Commissioner to urge that the latest @thetimes @Gabriel_Pogrund revelations are investigated.
