Binface says that culture is at the core of his plan for London.

He will rename London Bridge after Phoebe Waller-Bridge, make Claudia Winkleman’s fringe Grade I listed and replace London’s "night tsar" with a "night mayor", with headquarters on Elm Street.

He will also demand that the Elgin Marbles are returned from the British Museum to Greece and ensure any shops that play Christmas music before December will be closed down and turned into public libraries.
