With Susan Hall the governement has handed Sadiq Khan at least four more years of leadership (PA)

Sean O’Grady asks whether Susan Hall could become London’s next mayor. I highly doubt it.

She’s a pro-Trump, pro-Johnson, pro-Truss Brexiteer populist singing from Suella Braverman’s hymn sheet, and running to be mayor in a city that, seven years ago, was a quarter more Remain-voting than the rest of the UK.

Any sane bets will be in favour of Sadiq Khan for the win. The Tories have clearly given up on London, and with Susan Hall, they’ve handed Sadiq at least four more years of leadership. Good.
