Could this populist Brexiteer Trump supporter really be the next London mayor?
The IndependentConservative members in London have chosen Susan Hall, a member of the Greater London Assembly, to be their candidate in the mayoral election in May 2024. Corbyn could slice sufficient votes off Khan’s support – say, 10 percentage points – and allow Hall to squeak through the middle and win even in an otherwise bad year for the Tories. Susan Hall after being named the Conservative candidate for Mayor of London 2024 Hall is helped by the fact that the “progressive” vote is more splintered than the populist right. Then again, Hall is no Boris Johnson; in fact, she’s the least high-profile of all the Tory candidates in London over the years, compared to “Bonking” Steve Norris, Zac Goldsmith, Johnson, and Shaun Bailey. In 2022, all the London boroughs were up for election and Labour scored 42.5 per cent of the vote against 25.8 per cent for the combined Conservative council candidates.
