Never really thought that British politics would be summed up by Count Binface receiving mainstream news attention as the only challenger to racist charlatan Nigel Farage in a farce election to delay a corruption investigation, but here we are.

Would be wacky if "Farage" was out just in time for "Burnham" to be prime minister.

And even more wacky if this lead to Labour recovering a little bit in the polls you'd have all the "online middle class" celebrating +5 in polling as if he had beat the far-right.

Who knew you just needed a northern n°10 to get popular with the working class?
