Keir Starmer backs Count Binface in ultimate PMQs as he tells Brits to ‘put vote in bin’
Outgoing Prime Minister Keir Starmer has backed Count Binface to thrash Reform UK leader Nigel Farage in the Clacton by-election in August
He wants you to ‘back Binface’
Sir Keir Starmer gave Count Binface his backing as he urged voters to reject “rubbish” Nigel Farage. During his final PMQs, Starmer joined the growing calls for Count Binface to beat Nigel Farage in the Clacton by-election next month.
Sparked by a question by Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch, Starmer used his final session to throw his weight behind Binface – following on from Badenoch and Lib Dem leader Ed Davey.
Kemi said: “Does he not agree that what the country deserves is a televised debate between Nigel Farage and Count Binface?”
He could really beat Nigel Farage
And to rapturous applause, he replied: “Mr Speaker, they intend to spend the summer arguing with a bin – my advice to everyone is to put your vote in the bin.”
And later on, Ed Davey – after making a rather unfunny joke about Toy Story which is still going over most peoples’ heads – he said: “I can not back joke figures with ridiculous policies, which is why I’m supporting Count Binface.”
Just minutes later, it kicked off a bit when Reform MP Danny Kruger tried to attack Starmer for supporting Binface, who he called “a comedian with a bin on his head,” and asked for clarification on whether he does support him or not.
Starmer hit back, and joked: “I know that Reform believe in recycling politicians, but I wonder if he really thought spending his summer arguing with a bin was what he had in mind when defecting to the benches up there.”
Another MP made a joke about making a legal route between “Planet Sigma Nine and Clac ton,” which is where Binface claims to be from . . .
Binface is actually second favourite, according to the bookies, with Farage still thought to be in position to regain the seat he only just resigned from.
Away from the joviality, Starmer paid tribute to many of the people he’d championed and supported – and had supported him – during his time in office, with Badenoch even being nice to him at the end by paying tribute to Starmer’s family for supporting him throughout.
