Nigel Farage to face off against Count Binface | ABC NEWS Loop

Britain's Nigel Farage has announced a high-stakes gamble that could end his political career. His main opponent now appears to be Count Binface, a self-professed intergalactic space warrior. Mr Farage, the leader of Reform UK, said he would resign as an MP and recontest his own seat in the subsequent by-election. The 62-year-old is facing intensifying scrutiny over his finances and donations, and a big win in the seat could help him shore up support, although many of the main political parties have already said they will not field candidates in the vote.
