Political rivals Lord Buckethead and Count Binface have clashed in the Prime Minister’s constituency of Uxbridge and South Ruislip.

With Boris Johnson not expected to appear at Brunel University for the count for some time, it was left to the fringe candidates to take centre stage as the election tally got under way,

Independent Count Binface said: ‘If I get a big fat zero that would be a record.

‘I wouldn’t mind it.’


Comedian Jon Harvey, who plays the Count, was seen mocking Monster Raving Lunatic Party candidate Lord Buckethead – making a thumbs down behind his back, shouting ‘Fake news’ and belting out the American national anthem.

Mr Harvey previously ran as Lord Buckethead to contest Theresa May’s Maidenhead seat in 2017, but switched to Count Binface following ‘an unpleasant battle on the planet Copyright’.



Someone else now dons the Lord Buckethead costume, and the two were seen clashing at the count.

When asked to pose for a photo together, the Lord cautioned: ‘We are going to violate some serious intergalactic treaties.’

Count Binface has been critical of Mr Johnson on a number of issues, including ‘his get-Brexit-oven-ready-microwave nonsense’.

But he did promise to treat the Tory leader with respect should he meet him.
