Andy Burham set to become British PM: but can Count Binface dispose of Nigel Farage?

Andy Burnham has taken another leap toward replacing Keir Starmer as UK Prime Minister, after securing 322 nominations from his party. Reform UK's Nigel Farage has also dramatically announced he will resign as a member of parliament, forcing a snap by-election. The populist leader's only confirmed rival in the seat of Clacton is a comedian who goes by the name 'Count Binface'.

As Iran and US trade strikes, what comes next for the Middle East?

Australia signs new defence, nuclear deals with India during controversial visit

INTERVIEW: Controversial UK politician Nigel Farage forces by-election over financial allegations

One of Britain's most controversial politicians and leader of the right-wing Reform Party, Nigel Farage, has announced he is quitting his seat so he can clear his name over financial allegations. His resignation has triggered a by-election in the Essex seat of Clacton - but none of the major parties plan to stand against him. At this stage, there is only one satirical opponent standing - Count Binface, who always appears in public with a dustbin on his head. Mr Farage was a key figure in the campaign for Britain to leave the EU. A donation of five million pounds by a supporter based in Thailand has seen accusations that Mr Farage should have declared it to Parliament, but didn't. He claims the establishment and the media are using “foul means” to stop him. Tim Bale is professor of politics at Queen Mary University of London and he told the Associated Press Mr Farage is taking quite a gamble.
