Count Binface reveals decision on whether he’ll stand in by-election for Starmer’s old seat

Count Binface has announced whether he is standing as a candidate to succeed Sir Keir Starmer in the Holborn and St Pancras by-election.

It comes after the comedy candidate came second to Nigel Farage in August’s Clacton contest.

Some 15 candidates are standing to succeed the former prime minister. A full list of all the challengers has been published here.

The by-election was triggered after Sir Keir announced he would stand down as MP for the London constituency when Parliament returned on 1 September.
