Read excerpt
Israel is heading to the polls on October 27 and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is facing perhaps the toughest political battle of his career.

Read excerpt
He’s an intergalactic space warrior from the planet Sigma 9 and a part-time politician on Earth. He also wants to nationalise the singer Adele, abolish the auto-renew function for online subscriptions, cap the price of ice creams and he has a giant garbage bin for a head. Count Binface is a contender in the by-election for the parliamentary seat of Clacton in the UK.
