The big takeaway from #Clacton is that #ReformUK and "Gas 'em All" #Farage are finished. The defections from the Tories are their high water mark in the Commons, they've peaked in local government and we're on the downward side of the graph now.
The country now needs to start undoing the damage that he (it's him, it's always only been about him) has done over the last two decades or so.
Yes, that means #rejoinEU but it also means mending the hate reflex in society.
