Humiliation for Jeremy Corbyn's brother as he's beaten by Count Binface in by-election
High-profile conspiracy theorist Piers Corbyn, older brother of former Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn, has faced a humiliating defeat at last night's by-election in Uxbridge and South Ruislip, coming behind satirical candidate Count Binface.
Weather forecaster and climate change denier Piers Corbyn ran on behalf of his party, Let London Live, in a bid to fill the seat left vacant by former PM Boris Johnson following his resignation as an MP last month.
Still, the infamous Count Binface, self-proclaimed intergalactic space warrior and independent political candidate, outperformed the former Labour leader's rebel brother, bagging 190 votes against Mr Corbyn's 101.
Count Binface tweeted in reaction to the results: "In a field of 17 candidates, I came 8th. And for the second time in three years, I beat UKIP and Piers Corbyn in a democratic election. If that's not a sign of hope, nothing is."
