## Caption

Timing is everything in comedy and, so it seems, in British politics for an everlasting comic candidate who wears a garbage can on his head.⁣
⁣
Count Binface, a self-described 5,000-year-old intergalactic space warrior, is having an otherworldly moment in a special election derided as a farce long before the ballot was packed with nearly three dozen candidates, many from the silly end of the spectrum.⁣
⁣
Binface, who has run against prime ministers past and present, was the first to throw down a challenge when Reform UK leader Nigel Farage abruptly quit Parliament and said he would seek re-election to clear his name over financial allegations.⁣
