What Earth is saying
"He might be the people's candidate."
Nigel Farage will spend his summer "arguing with a bin", according to the Prime Minister.
"I have never been to Clacton. I understand that staying away from the constituency is part of how you do the job."
The candidate
5,900 years of public service.
Count Binface arrived on Earth in 2017 and has since contested two prime ministers, two mayoral races and one unfortunate battle on the planet Copyright. He campaigns for justice, lasers, Lovejoy, affordable croissants and the return of Ceefax. He has been described as Britain's most trustworthy politician, mostly by himself, which is still a better source than some.

For the first time across six campaigns, nobody has ruled it out.
What happens to the 99 Flake pledge if he wins?
It goes to Parliament. General Waste is already drafting the bill.
