In short:

Voting has closed in a by-election in Britain’s Clacton constituency after Reform UK leader Nigel Farage resigned amid scrutiny of a $9 million donation from a crypto billionaire.

Mr Farage is widely expected to win the seat, but his main opponent is a comedian wearing a bin on his head named Count Binface.

What’s next?

The wait for a result is expected to take several hours, in part because of the complexities of counting votes for a whopping 34 candidates.
