LONDON: Outgoing British Prime Minister Keir Starmer Wednesday told voters to put their “vote in the bin” in snap elections that will see hard-right leader Nigel Farage run against joke candidate Count Binface. Farage, who heads the anti-immigrant Reform UK party, stood down as an MP earlier this month, but vowed to run again in a high-stakes gamble aimed at shoring up support amid scrutiny over his finances.
