Nigel Farage has announced Laila Cunningham will be the party’s candidate for Mayor of London in 2028. She has also been appointed the head of Reform’s London branch. She first confirmed her interest in Sadiq’s job on the Guido Fawkes Show last year. Tomorrow’s news today…
Cunningham said:
“I am deeply proud to be standing as Reform UK’s candidate for Mayor of London.
London is my home. I was born here, raised here, built my career here and I am raising my children here. This city shaped me and it breaks my heart to see what it has become under Sadiq Khan and Labour.
Knife crime is out of control. Families feel unsafe. Ordinary people can no longer afford a home. Businesses are closing. And Londoners tell me every single day that they feel ignored and abandoned by a political class that looks after itself not them.
This city still has everything it needs to be the greatest city in the world. But it needs real leadership. It needs courage. And it needs a Mayor who will put Londoners first, every single day.
That’s why I’m standing: to make London safe and hopeful again. To bring pride back to this city. To give Londoners the voice they’ve been denied for far too long.
This is a once-in-a-generation chance to change direction. And I will fight with everything I have for the London we deserve.”
2028…
The day after Starmer U-turned and refused to blame Trump for the war Rachel Reeves told the Mirror:
“Obviously no sensible person is a supporter of the Iranian regime, but to start a conflict without being clear what the objectives are and not being clear about how you are going to get out of it, I do think that is a folly and it is one that is affecting families here in the UK but also families in the US and around the world.”
