Susan Hall

They are the best of us and don't deserve your silence.

Susan Hall, who is the leader of the City Hall Conservatives, said that she was horrified by the allegations and called on Lord Khan to take action.

She also added that the Mayor of London could employ a person who supports Hamas and to such a large role is appalling.

If these allegations are true, we must see real consequences as well as a commitment that no other employees of the Mayor, be that at the GLA, TFL or the Docklands, are supporters of a genocidal terror group.

Well, in London Tory land in particular, so-

What's happened to Susan Hall?

[laughs] She is still on the GLA and a very vocal member of the Conservative Party.

But, uh, look, we've got the...

But more than anything else, the grooming gangs.

When he's been asked and challenged over this for the past few years by our own journalists, um, and by Susan Hall, when he's been held accountable for it, he, he used to deny it was an issue.

He used to say, "No, nothing to see here."

I thought it was, as someone who's b- used to be a Police and Crime Commissioner-

Lichtenstein also disputed claims from senior Green Party figures that Jewish members had been consulted, saying those members remained unknown to Jewish Greens and that the committee had not been engaged.

Susan Hall, who leads the Conservatives on the London Assembly, said on social media that she was struck by the statement's timing, coming only after the vote.

Some parties on the left have also been criticised for appearing to prioritise the conflict in Gaza over domestic concerns.

Unverified claims have attributed the move to electoral calculation rather than policy conviction.

Yes, we have to get votes in the outer London areas, your Orpingtons, your Bexleys, your Bromleys, absolutely crucial for us.

Susan did very, very well in those areas, but quite poorly in the inner London areas.

Sean actually was the best performing that we've done since the Boris election, but he struggled in places like Wandsworth.

Now, if Brexit becomes an issue, During the mayoral election, which by the way things are going nationally, it probably will be.

Yeah, we talk about kind of the performance of the Conservatives in London.

And I think I was on the panel yesterday, Gareth Bacon, who's the shadow London minister, said the Tories have treated the London mayoralty like a paper candidacy before and not taking it seriously enough.

And you basically said that Susan Hall was basically cut adrift by the central party last time.

Do you think that the candidate this time around will get that support, that there is a real feeling as though it's an opportunity to win back City Hall?
