Speaking of stupid things done by corrupt far right leaders, this is a monster of a zinger.
Can anyone better-versed in these matters than me shed any light on why she accepted it, given that if she hadn't, the standards enquiry would presumably have kept rolling? Presumably it's somewhat ceremonial and he could have forced the issue?

It would have led to a Reform outcry about about democracy being blocked by the establishment. Much better to let him embarrass himself against Count Binface, then the investigation can restart if Farage is re-elected.

Presumably he'd have to resign as Steward and Bailiff of the Manor of Northstead before he can stand in the by-election. Could that be refused by the monarch ("Off to the Tower with him!")? Or maybe the denizens of Northstead could sue for dereliction of duty (for, say, £5m)?
