Farage to Face Count Binface in Self Triggered Byelection Amid Funding Probe Nigel Farage's decision to call a byelection has set the stage for a farcical showdown between the former Brexit leader and Count Binface, a perennial joke candidate known for his irreverent campaign style and outlandish promises.
While the event may seem like a laughing matter, it highlights Farage's attempts to reassert his relevance in British politics.
By calling a byelection at this time, he is drawing attention away from an ongoing parliamentary probe into his handling of £5 million in funding from Thailand based cryptocurrency billionaire Christopher Harborne.
