Nigel Farage pulls out of Clacton by-election saying it's got too silly
Nigel Farage has made the unexpected decision to pull out of the Clacton by-election, which he triggered by resigning after scrutiny from failing to declare a £5 million donation from a crypto billionaire. The Reform Party leader had hoped to demonstrate his popularity by winning the Clacton by-election against the parties trying to hold him accountable.
But no other parties opted to field a candidate, meaning Mr Farage's main rival was likely to be parody candidate Count Binface. Mr Farage wrote on his blog: "Binface can be the ringleader of his new circus, I'm not here to be one of his performers."
Farage has given no further indication of what boycotting this election means for the future of his political career or the future of the Reform Party.

ELI5: How do you calculate ROI for infrastructure projects.
When the government is deciding about what infrastructure projects to do, how do you calculate the benefit of the project? For instance here in Sweden we are currently building high speed railway for an absurd amount of money. How can you decide whether the cost is reasonable?
