After the announcement that Reform UK leader Nigel Farage would quit his Clacton constituency and stand in a by-election, the serial election candidate Count Binface posted online: “Game on, Nige.”
Jonathan Harvey, the man who dresses as a bin, spoke to the BBC’s Justin Webb and Nick Robinson on the Today programme on Wednesday.
He is one of few people saying he will run against Farage in the contest after Labour, the Conservatives and the Liberal Democrats all said they would not field candidates.
“Get at least one affordable house, nationalising Adele and bring back Ceefax”, Binface told the BBC when asked about his policies.
Other candidates have not yet confirmed they will participate in the contest.
