Independent TV’s *In The Room* features Count Binface, the novelty candidate standing against Nigel Farage in Clacton, shortly before the by-election. The discussion uses humour to explore his manifesto while considering whether his public profile could translate into votes and what the contest indicates about Farage, Reform UK and British politics.

Binface promotes proposals including capping 99 Flakes at 99p, building at least one affordable home and improving poorly placed hand dryers, while saying housing and homelessness underpin some of the jokes. He also discusses Buckingham Palace and jokes that Farage should visit a Ferrari showroom if defeated; presenters Helen MacNamara and Cleo Watson then assess the electoral situation in Clacton.
