Count Binface was back last night trying to take win another electoral vote.
Sadly, again, the legendary Bin lost, but it isn’t all that bad.
The self-proclaimed intergalactic space warrior and independent political candidate, outperformed the former Labour leader’s rebel brother, Piers Morgan.
Count Binface tweeted: “In a field of 17 candidates, I came 8th. And for the second time in three years, I beat UKIP and Piers Corbyn in a democratic election. If that’s not a sign of hope, nothing is.”
The Count was standing for former PM’s constituency of Uxbridge and South Ruislip, which, to the surprise of many, still voted in a Tory MP,
Conservative councillor Steve Tuckwell has been elected instead – seeing off Labour’s Danny Beales, along with the other candidates.Â
He was accused of letting the Torires back in?
Piers Corbyn
Mr Corbyn said in an online video: “I am the candidate for you to win this seat, which is the seat vacated by Boris Johnson, who asked me for advice many times on climate matters.
“This election is fast becoming a referendum against the political system that’s held us over the last few years and I am the candidate for the real change the country needs.
“I lead the way in exposing the Covid restrictions and injections, and I’ve done more than any to beat ULEZ. I was called a crazy conspiracist, yet everything I said came true.
“I, Piers Corbyn, am the candidate for real change. Let London Live!”
Result
The Tories got 13,965 votes, with Labour getting 13,470 and the Liberal Democrats 526 – meaning the majority is 495. A very slim majority.
