Reform is ramping up its campaign in the capital with a direct mailshot from Nigel Farage to target voters. The next Mayoral election is a long way off in 2028 but all London borough seats are up in May 2026…
The letter focuses on crime: “Police hardly dare use stop-and-search, even though they know it reduces knife crime. Under Labour and Tory mayors, the number of Metropolitan Police stations with front counters open to the public has been cut by 80%.” Both topics of conversation had a lot of traction on X earlier in the year…
Farage continues: “Nobody really knows how many hundreds of thousands of illegal immigrants live in Khan’s London… thousands of undocumented young men are put up in London hotels at taxpayers’ expense and left free to roam the streets”. The direct mail (which does not come cheap) will send a shiver down the spine of Labour and Tory campaigners who are largely yet to get off the mark. Labour is defending 1,156 council seats and the Tories 404 across the 32 boroughs. The reverse of the letter includes a voter issues survey that can be used for further targeting. Reform has a professional operation underway in London, will it bear fruit in May?
Reform MP Danny Kruger welcomed adult film star Bonnie Blue’s support for the party, adding:
“I’m not going to be judgemental about people who want to vote Reform. We want all the support we can get – quite like Bonnie Blue.”
