Count Binface: βAdele is a creative powerhouse and one-woman GDP boost. Which is why I pledge to nationalise herβ
The comedian and candidate for Rishi Sunakβs Yorkshire seat on reintroducing Ceefax and beating the far right
Intergalactic space warrior Count Binface is the brainchild of comedy writer and performer Jon Harvey. In 2017, he made his political debut as Lord Buckethead, challenging Theresa May in her Maidenhead constituency in that yearβs general election. As Count Binface he ran against Boris Johnson in Uxbridge and South Ruislip two years later. In 2021, he ran for London mayor and stood again for the post this year, winning 24,260 votes and beating Britain First. He is now fighting his third general election campaign in an incumbent prime ministerβs seat, taking on Rishi Sunak in Richmond and Northallerton.
When were you happiest?
Friday 7 June 2024 at 5pm local time. Thatβs when I secured a place on the ballot for the Richmond and Northallerton seat. And Iβm not just saying that as a cynical move to weaponise this article and garner support from local constituents.
