Count Me In T-Shirt | Clacton By-Election Protest Tee

Count me in.

On 7 July 2026, Nigel Farage resigned as MP for Clacton, two years after winning it, with a Commons standards process closing in over an undeclared £5 million gift from a crypto investor. The by-election on 13 August drew 34 candidates, the most in any UK parliamentary election on record. Labour, the Conservatives, the Liberal Democrats and the Greens are not among them.

Four national parties looked at Clacton and decided to sit this one out. A man with a wheelie bin on his head looked at it and put his name down. In 2024 he stood for Mayor of London and finished ahead of Britain First, so he has form.

Count me in.

This is the shirt for anyone who thinks a ballot paper deserves an answer, even when the serious parties have gone quiet. It also makes a dependable gift for the friend who has never missed a vote in their life and is not about to start now.

The front design keeps it simple. Three words and a wheelie bin, which between them say more than most manifestos.

Care and materials

Machine wash cold and inside out, then tumble dry low or hang it up. Do that and the design will outlast the government that inspired it.

100% combed and ring-spun cotton, pre-shrunk and side-seamed, with shoulder-to-shoulder taping so it holds its shape. The fabric is OEKO-TEX certified, which means it is tested free from harmful substances and safe against your skin. Every shirt is made to order in small numbers rather than mass produced and left in a warehouse.

About Very Brexit Problems

VBP started in 2016, on the day the country voted to make itself poorer and called it sovereignty. What began as a way of coping turned into a community of hundreds of thousands of people who never stopped believing Britain belongs in Europe.

Every design starts the same way. Something absurd happens, somebody has to say so, and a shirt says it for a good deal longer than a tweet does. Mocking the con since 2016.
