Once again Nigel Farage has put himself at the centre of a political drama with his announcement, amid growing questions about his finances, that he is quitting as an MP to fight a by-election to regain his seat. He is pitching it as "establishment versus the people", but could this be a populist stunt too far? With the main parties refusing to stand candidates, his main rival looks to be veteran novelty candidate "Count Binface".

Nigel and Sarah consider whether Farage's move might backfire spectacularly, and discuss previous elections which didn't go according to plan.
