Count Binface has been consoled by Sadiq Khan after losing in the London mayoral elections.

The peculiar candidate made an inspired effort to ‘take the trash out’ in this year’s election as he aimed ‘for a champions league spot’.

But, despite pledging to cap the price of croissants at £1.10 and grant Grade 1 listed status to Claudia Winkleman’s fringe, Count Binface finished 13th.

The wacky political figure, who claims to be a 5,072-year-old intergalactic space warrior, won 24,260 votes (0.98%) compared to Sadiq Khan’s 1,088,225 (43.8%).

However, it appears it was not all bad for Binface who defeated Britain First candidate Nick Scanlon, who won 20,519 (0.83%) of the vote, which was nearly 4,000 less.

After discovering his victory over Mr Scanlon, he said ‘down with fascism, up with Ceefax’.
