Nigel Farage, the leader of the Brexit Party, is under pressure over a million-pound donation. To avoid the controversy, he is running in a by-election. Britain’s major parties are refusing to take part in what they call his publicity stunt.
His most prominent opponent is now Count Binface, a fictional character who looks like a talking trash can. Binface is known for making sharp jokes about politicians.
The by-election is set to take place on May 6. Farage’s campaign has so far failed to attract serious challengers from the Conservative, Labour, or Liberal Democrat parties.
