Count Binface, the satirical political candidate, is ahead of Britain First’s immigration candidate Nick Scanlon in the London Mayoral election.
Binface has currently notched up 12,386 votes, against Scanlon’s 9905. In Merton and Wandsworth, he bagged almost double the Britain First campaigner.
Binface describes himself as an “intergalactic space warrior, leader of the Recyclons from Planet Sigma IX, Lovejoy fan, London mayor candidate, and expert form-filler”.
His manifesto pledges to rename London Bridge to Fleabag actress Phoebe Waller, give Croydon an ironic facelift and ban shops from selling croissants for more than £1.
He has also committed to allowing HS2 protestors to build their tunnel at Euston all the way to Birmingham, to be followed by a second tunnel to Manchester.
Scanlon has said the biggest issue in London is the increase in mass immigration. He has pledged to make any vandalism to memorials and monuments an “unthinkable act” and provide substantial funding for native cultural events such as St George’s Day.
Sadiq Khan looks set to win a historic third term, with Labour sources claiming victory.
