Laurence Fox: Reactions to nickname comparing him to a posh Tommy Robinson

'Up there with "pound-shop Enoch Powell" as perfect political descriptors.'

Laurence Fox came under fire today after saying the NHS is ‘so sensitive it needs a round of applause just to finish work’ – but he also seems to have picked up a new nickname.

The leader of the Reclaim Party is standing to become mayor of London tomorrow, but is currently polling at 1 per cent, the same as Count Binface.

Fox was inspired to try and topple City Hall incumbent Sadiq Khan at the May 6 election after the Chancellor revealed at the Budget that the coronavirus response had seen the Government borrow £407 billion.

Mr Fox said it amounted to “roughly £1,600 for every family in the country” and had led to Rishi Sunak to increase the tax burden to its “highest level for 50 years”.

No chance of winning

However he has admitted he has no chance of winning. Speaking to Express.co.uk, Mr Fox admitted he is unlikely to win on Thursday but that he already has plans for the next two years.

He said: “It’s a shame about Sadiq. Someone should give him a run for his money.

“The London Mayoral, just because it exists, we had to stand for it.

“I’m going to be around.”

Tommy Robinson

Fox is often trending on Twitter, and today was no exception. However, his name was trending with ‘Waitrose Tommy Robinson.’ A new nickname that many on social media thought was spot on.

Here are some of the reactions to his new nickname.

Laurence Fox being described as a Waitrose Tommy Robinson is perhaps one of the most poetic offerings I’ve ever seen on social media! #LondonMayor #laurencefox #lozzaFox #WaitroseTommyRobinson pic.twitter.com/4pB3C2IzIO

I honestly thought nobody could ever top the description of how far right Laurence Fox looks like “a freshly wanked cock.”

But somebody on twitter did – they described him “a Waitrose Tommy Robinson”, and now it’s trending 🙂 pic.twitter.com/pwMA8U0Noe

I really hope that #CountBinface gets more votes than ‘Waitrose Tommy Robinson’ Laurence Fox, and that Count Binface’s identity is revealed to be Billie Piper. pic.twitter.com/WJcAS25q7e

Since you are here

Journalism in Britain is under threat. The government is becoming increasingly authoritarian and our media is run by a handful of billionaires, most of whom reside overseas and all of them have strong political allegiances and financial motivations.

Our mission is to hold the powerful to account. It is vital that free media is allowed to exist to expose hypocrisy, corruption, wrongdoing and abuse of power. But we can't do it without you.
