A humiliated Tommy Robinson declared he “wants a second vote” in a bizarre video posted from his bed after he failed to secure a seat in the European Parliament.

In the clip, which is believed to have been posted on the Telegram private messaging app, the independent MEP candidate described himself as “dead to the world”.

He said: “I don’t accept the result of the election. I want a second vote.”

He went on to claim “people had been lied to” before saying “I want to do it again”.

The independent candidate polled just 2.2 per cent of the overall vote in the North West, finishing in eight place overall, as the Brexit Party gained the largest share with 31.2 per cent.

He lost his £5,000 deposit and left the count after less than one hour.

Robinson, whose real name is Stephen Yaxley Lennon, earlier blamed Government "interference", saying he was unable to fight a fair campaign because he was taken off various social media platforms.

Speaking on arrival at the count in Manchester, he said: "Trump won his campaign on social media. Brexit was won on social media. I'm banned from social media.

"So my ability to fight a fair campaign is gone, orchestrated and organised by the Government.

"I feel like I have been fighting with my hands tied behind my back.

"I think on my Facebook (page) 59 million watched my videos in four weeks ... if I still had that ability now I would have walked this election.

"This has proved you cannot have a fair campaign when the establishment and the Government interfere and remove any ability you have to talk to the public.

"My supporters are not even allowed to mention my name or they get deleted, it's dark."

The founder of the English Defence League added: "I am just happy if I got non-voters to vote. I'm happy if I politicised people from working class communities.

"I think this whole election is about Brexit so Nigel Farage can absolutely smash it but I would be excited about that if the Brexit Party would talk about the issues that I feel affect most of us in working class communities. They are just another politically correct party unfortunately but they are great on the European Union."

Robinson stayed for just short of an hour at the count venue at Manchester Central as he conceded defeat before the first council area result was officially declared.

Before leaving, he told his followers on Telegram: "Disappointed to say the least. They (the votes) are not in but they are in... at the same time what do you expect? Going through the votes we have certainly not got a place as a MEP but I want to say a special thank you to every single person who supported."

The Brexit Party won three seats, Labour and the Lib Dems claimed two each and the Green Party secured one seat in the region.

It came as YouTuber Carl Benjamin, who was second on Ukip’s South West regional list, also failed to get elected.

Mr Benjamin was condemned during the campaign for comments he made about Labour MP Jess Phillips.

The 39-year-old, who styles himself online as the "Sargon of Akkad", said he "wouldn't even rape" the Labour MP and then refused to apologise for the remarks.
